With a fresh blanket of snow outside my perch, visions of a clean burning fire come to mind.   I’d like to share some design news and a deal of a slightly different sort.

Contemporary firemaker, EcoSmart Fire, can now take the chill out of the air — whether inside or outside your home.  They currently apply their no-chimney-required, ethanol-powered technology to a sleek range of outdoor fireplaces that are portable.  Totally hot.

With ease and flexibility, add warmth and ambient light to your alfresco scene — poolside, patio, deck, garden or terrace.

Here’s the Deal — As of a year ago today, amendments to the Internal Revenue Code will provide Tax Credits for purchases of Non-business Energy Property – so essentially the IRS now offers qualified consumers a tax credit of up to $1500 or 30% of the purchase price of any EcoSmart Fire product.  (Naturally, you may want to consult your tax advisor for details specifically relating to your individual circumstances.)
