Freestanding Electric Stoves
Electric stoves are becoming increasingly popular because they're even more convenient than gas fireplaces (which require a gas hookup). With these babies, just plug it in and poof: ambiance (and heat). It can be hard to find an electric stove that fits in with your decor though, especially if you live in an old, restored home. Sold by the Victorian Fireplace Company, the Solo Electric Stove is a freestanding unit that's meant to fit into older homes. Though it's a modern appliance, it's designed to look like an old-style oil stove. The cast iron unit weights 88 pounds, is available in three colors (black, green, and burgundy), and costs $699.
