Planned a fire tonight? You still have options.

None of these burn wood.

Electric fireplace

Hangs on the wall or sits in an opening. Many plug into a regular outlet. No chimney, no permit.

Compare electric fireplaces

Gas logs

Real flames in your existing fireplace. You'll need a gas line and a pro to hook it up.

Already have a newer, cleaner stove?

Some areas let registered or certified stoves burn on certain days. Check the rules below.

How the rules work here

Each day is Unrestricted, Voluntary, or Mandatory. On Mandatory days, wood and other solid-fuel burning is banned.
