It almost feels like fall here in NYC – time to start thinking about extending our alfresco dining and outdoor socializing as the temps take a dip and the autumn leaves begin to fall.  One solution – an eco friendly designer outdoor fireplace.  The new Mini T fireplace from Australia’s EcoSmart Fire certainly does the trick. This fireplace features a brushed steel finish and toughened glass surround.

The Mini T is fueled by denatured ethanol, an environmentally friendly, renewable energy source.  EcoSmart Fire makes a wide selection of clean-burning, low maintenance, flueless indoor/outdoor fireplaces. Oh, and through December 2010 the EcoSmart fireplaces qualify for the Federal Tax Credit for Energy Efficiency – which can get you up to a 30% tax credit.
