The biggest difference between an electric fireplace and a regular fireplace is the ability to move it where the heat is needed. A regular fireplace is placed in one area unable to be moved, whereas a electric fireplace can be moved throughout various locations in the house.

Gel fireplaces are ventless which makes them a lot safer than traditional fireplaes. A gel fireplace will not require it's owner to cut, stack or buy wood.

Another major advantage of a gel fireplace is that they can be installed in any location inside a home or office because they do not require chimneys or vents.

More than just a place to burn a fire, the hearth is the focal point of the room, and the center of the home. The proper fireplace accessories can not only help your fire burn more efficiently, they can also beautify your hearth.The earliest fireplace accessories are andirons and wood grates. These functional items were used to make the fireplace safer and more efficient. Andirons prevent burning logs from rolling out of the fireplace and a wood grate is used to hold the logs of the floor of the fireplace, allowing the fire to breathe better. Over the years andirons have evolved into more decorative items that can beautify the hearth. Available in cast iron, wrought iron, and brass, andirons are a practical and attractive accent for the fireplace.Fireplace screens are another item that started out with a practical function, and grew into a marriage of function and style. Screens are used to prevent embers and sparks from popping out of the fireplace during use. Free-standing fireplace screens may have one or more panels and styles range from simple to ornate. Retractable mesh curtains are a popular choice for homes with modern decor.In the warmer months the last thing you want is a fire heating up your house, but you can still enjoy your fireplace in the summer by using a fireplace candelabra. Casting warm light and a flickering glow, fireplace candelabras are an elegant and beautiful addition to your home decor.Decorative screens with attached mounts for votive candles are a new fireplace accessory. These screens combine the functionality of a fireplace screen with the beauty of a candelabra that can be used year-round.Another fireplace accessory born out of practicality is the fireback. A fireback is a cast iron shield that sits upright in the rear of the fireplace whose function is to protect the back wall of the fireplace from direct flames and to radiate the fire’s heat into the room. Cast iron firebacks can also beautify the hearth, since they can feature decorative impressions such as trees, roosters, hunting scenes, coats of arms, biblical images, or other colonial designs.
It depends on how you look like it. 100 years ago, you didn't have the ideas of bacteria and other germs. So in that way, today's food is much safer. But in the idea of safer as in, 'fattty', it's not safer. 100 years ago, sugary, packaged foods were not around. So food today is not safer for your cholesterol, but safer for colon:)
