Planika

Enjoy an eco friendly fire right in your living room without cutting down a tree, cleaning the flue, or raking out the soot. Planika Fires has designed fireplace units that have been intertwined with household furniture and produce flame by burning a biofuel called Fanola. Producing no smoke or smell only H20 and C02 at unharmful levels Fanola is comprised of plant origin material, has been touted as hygienic, and is a renewable energy source. The sheer ambiance and appeal of the Planika design is astounding let alone the coup de gras of a greener fire for the family. You may be wondering about the proximity of the flame to the furniture…Planika has thoroughly considered safety in the engineering of their fireplaces, so enjoy!  More pictures after the jump...

About the Author:

Doug is in perpetual motion and a self-proclaimed adventure junkie, that has had a longtime love affair with the great outdoors.

“I love being a part of the active world. The stuff that blows my hair back is adventure (all shapes and sizes), photography, mountaineering, Muay Thai, and seeing natural beauty in all its forms. The living earth is the framework on which I build my life and free time. My ideal trip would be BASE jumping at Sotano de Las Golandrinas in Mexico (closest I could come to skydiving through the jungle!). I work towards keeping it real, green, and healthy. ”

Doug is the co-founder of LiveOAK, although he says he didn’t know what a blog was until a couple months after he started.

    I am sorry, I am still looking for prices on the fireplaces. I hit upgrade and I still can’t find them.

    Thanks for any help.

  • Hillary

    Check out ecosmartfire.com as well. They have great fireplaces. I don’t know much about the Planika.

    Oh heavens! It’s one of those if you have to ask things!

    http://www.livingincomfort.com/planika.html

    $1700 for what looks like a shot glass with a fire in it, on up. $135 for fuel.

    Cool, but it ain’t cheap!

  • Jeff

    We’re starting to see these pop in stores in Vancouver and as they have no particulates they are perfect for areas you wouldn’t normally have a fireplace installed. I’d like to understand how hot they get and how much clearance you’d need for the portable unit.
