Burn the potatoes

Fireplace Without the Smoke?

The Lighthouse, a portable indoor-outdoor fireplace, is the newest model from Planika, a Polish company. According to the manufacturer, it doesn’t produce smoke or odor — and doesn’t require ventilation. What makes it burn so cleanly, Planika says, is Fanola, a liquid bioethanol fuel made from potatoes that the company developed and sells with its fireplaces.
Just over 50 inches tall, the Lighthouse has a powder-coated steel top cut in an openwork pattern that rests securely on a hollow base. The top holds a glass cylinder and a fuel canister, which is lighted with a long-handled wand. Within five minutes, the small flame should grow to as high as 17 inches, but no higher, and should burn for three and half hours.

Available from Planika for $1,800...


I'd rather just eat my potatoes. Same thing with corn.
