Digital Fireplace, the easiest, cheapest and most realistic 'build your own' fireplace ever.

Some people like to play with fire and find chopping wood a good exercise, but most of us like the romantic idea but hate the hassle of cleaning chimneys, storing wood, repainting black ceillings, warm livingrooms vs cold bedrooms etc. or don't have the space or housing for a fireplace. Now, here is the answer for you all, an almost real looking fireplace with real fireplace sound. And the best of all, easy to make and inexpensive to purchase and maintenance in comparison to real fireplaces.

Removed a section in my camper where the entertainment area is and installed. Works great. Instead of propane furnace heat, I can use this kzbin.infoUgkxATHBlMJwipGgVWseuAFKvDQ_5R4_lywo to heat the camper as long as it's hooked up to shore power. Only thing I do not like is there does not seem to be a thermostat. I'm presuming it has a built-in one so it does not overheat. Really like all the other color options it has to offer.

[@jill7111]

I tried this using a 32” smart TV I got cheap. I put it in our non working fireplace. I wasn’t sure if our Wi-Fi would work in the fireplace, but it sure does! Now I can pick any of the fireplace videos on KZbin! I thought it would look really silly, but with the fireplace screen across it it looks great.

[@Londonfogey]

My uncle, a frugal Scottish gentleman aged 80, told me that on chilly mornings he doesn't put the heating on, he puts on a fireplace DVD that he bought from a pound shop. He said it made him feel warmer. I didn't believe him so I tried it myself at home - and it does seem to make me feel a bit warmer!

[@shahemasoyan9129]

oh! the sarcasm...

[@debidee5548]

No sarcasm here. I've done that for years and it works for me. The fire and sound relax me, and I think that's why it feels warmer.

[@KvltKommando]

I'm in California so when I had no air conditioning and just a fan I would listen to arctic winds blowing and icebergs cracking.

[@monicaholland944]

I was recently thinking this and found this from years ago. I'm setting this up now and bought a DVD with fire and aquarium scenes so I can switch between the two different views. This was a great idea! Thank you

[@aMwWSpHhHdn2]

Instructions unclear, set my TV on fire.

[@guyjmitchell]

this is a great comment

[@dan5660]

OMG- thank you for this! I had this idea loosely in the back of my mind, but this is better than anything I had dreamed up to date. THIS IS IT!(PS- saving this video!)

[@Jess.do.you.]

This is exactly what I was looking for! Someone to show how to create a fireplace with a monitor. Thank you!!!

[@AdrienBCaldwell]

LOL! That was incredible. Good job! I will have to try this myself some time. Thanks for such a great video!

[@suepohja1881]

Wow. I wanted a really safe way to have one for ambience only in our den. And its even inexpensive!

[@RonWylie-gk5lc]

I built one of these ages ago after trying lots of different designs and use it every day. I bought a dirt cheap old fashioned log effect from an old gas electric fire and removed the old red heat and metal disc flame effects bulbs { they generate heat to spin the little metal fans } and replace with the new LED flicker fire bulbs, they last 10,000 hours and are about £6 each. Second hand TV with DVD player of your choice and I cut the log effect in half to be nearer the tv screen. A real fire with sound and all in less than £100, I was going to add a pond fog generator for smoke but the water vapor was a bit dodgey near the TV lol

[@RELAX-home]

If interested, you can see here kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppfcoXuGr7ZlrKM the design based on the LED projector .

[@athenaramirez1399]

Pure Genius!!!! Love it!

[@colleenverdon6315]

I'm SO glad to find this. I can't wait to try it! Thank you!

[@samellagreen1059]

I love your idea, wonderful thank u so much for sharing, will try it, thanks again

[@michaelhorton2133]

This is exactly what I’d been think of! Great idea to use a dvd tv and a fire dvd 📀, id been thinking of an SD card instead!

[@gayemcpherson1249]

Wow! What a neat decoratIng idea. Love it. Thanks.

[@ethereal1257]

Love it! Brilliant man!

[@fountainmedia4683]

WOW! Freaking AMAZING!

[@KathleenJean53]

I love this. For my new porch room!

[@kashmirha]

Great idea, great implementation. That was my idea, happy that somebody already developed it. :)

[@DENBEATH]

That is GREAT! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@jonesbunny]

Haha to cute! And a good ideal

[@kathymorgan6980]

So amazing!! I love it!!

[@craeside28]

Fantastic idea ! Well done

[@angelastewart1450]

love it.

[@katyavolkov4089]

This is amazing!

[@ms.krueger2660]

OMG! Brilliant! !

[@ruth-annecarter6538]

What a great idea :)) Looks so realistic. This I gotta copy

[@kimberlyhewitt9385]

omg this beautiful... thanks :)

[@rivermeadow9336]

I laughed so hard I was fooled lol but it was a great idea

[@esraa20]

Nice idea I will do it .. I used to open fireplace videos using KZbin

[@aerialsilk3936]

thanks, bless you!!!

[@MeGrahamPage]

Fantastic.....well done!

[@RaptorFPV]

Genius! Was just thinking about doing the same, just with a flat fullHD =)

[@garywateridge]

nice job, thanks gary from uk

[@misha2197]

Awesome!

[@terrijohnson459]

Great idea. Very creative.

[@Bamcis100]

I am SO gonna do this !!!

[@bonniegilman9355]

Brilliant!

[@alexandriasummers9341]

Love it.

[@lindakohlfeld5368]

This is beyond amazing! Absolutely ingenious! Could you or someone please tell me where in the states i could get the video you used (Title) as well as where to find the same mantel and wonderful grate cover. Please! I want to make this too.

[@trevgoodwin7900]

Brilliant idea

[@dtc2024]

Great idea. I would love to have a fireplace in my dresser and have a DVD portable and DVD fire

[@mandi7]

good idea! but it would more realustic if the wood pieces you put at the front were pre scorched by real fire.

[@Pro2AGuy]

Kudos! Very nice option for those looking for an alternative to wood or gas.

[@donnamiller5210]

My LCd IS NOT WORKING ON MY WALL HEATER

[@donnamiller5210]

Pro2AGuy my L d isn't working on my electric wall heater but heater is fine

[@megacutegirl09]

awesome!

[@handrymingkid]

Inspiratif...♡♡

[@mcrl3313]

We are doing this now, will use ceramic brick to surround the insert space to add an even more realistic look! So much better than the electric fireplaces you can buy and way less expensive!

[@t3mustanggt05]

Thanks for sharing this idea, I'm going to do it with a fire place that we have had for over 15 yrs, it's just been sitting in a corner doing nothing, I've looked on line and the same fire place is $500 or more, this one works off 220 volts, so I'm gutting it out,the heater doesn't work,but everything else looks like new, even has a wire mesh screen,I'll post it when done. oh and far as tv, already have a flat screen 32 inch smart HD tv that was given to me a yr ago,been packed away, so altogether this is costing me maybe the price of getting another AV or HDMI cord.

[@stkaraf2086]

Very clever!!!

[@darksideofken]

This looks excellent can you recommend a TV brand and specific DVD?

[@JosephOfBorg]

thanks for making this video I was thinking about doing something similar with a old flat screen TV and just stream the fire image to it from KZbin

[@tinabarga]

I've done it . Looks and sounds great !

[@kenbina]

This looks very similar to the fireplace method by MagikFlame, except that theirs also has a heater with 4500 BTUs. Looks good! 👊😎

[@Silvermitt7a]

The only drawback is that to view it best, you need to be right in front of it, same with the shop versions, and there just isn't any depth...I had tried this and was initially pleased.

[@TLHP]

so cool haha

[@foodieyaya6994]

genius !

[@HollywoodCharityAuctioncom]

Genius idea. How did you hide the cords?

[@megacutegirl09]

COOL

[@nat0106951]

2012... planning this digital fireplace... and tv's much much cheaper now...so.. 🤗.. mine would have a hidden dining table inside it haha

[@kathygramlich9587]

OK where do u get the DVD and the little grate that goes across the front???

[@seus2731]

great!....imagination is a powerful deceiver

[@deniselynn7944]

Cool idea but where can you get the dvd ?

[@lindacarter7990]

Where did you get the gel pot fireplace? I haven't seen anything for less than $400. I was hoping to find something for around $100.

[@thedbcooperforum]

go to offer up and you can find them for a $100

[@edwardjski]

Can I get a copy of that DVD? I was using a VHS tape of a fire I recorded myself years ago with one of those massive VHS video cameras and the tape just recently wore out. I decided it was time for an upgrade!

[@KvltKommando]

yes but what is it mounted on?

[@auntjojo1980]

cool

[@faheemthedream2007]

wish you gave more angles of your fireplace

[@maggiemain8286]

Where to you get the front grate

[@karenmcgrouther6173]

How would i acheive this look. Theinsde of my fireplae is grey marble so the tv would be obvious. Any suggestion please

[@corvuse.2873]

Make a gray frame to surround everything but the screen.

[@EricaYE6]

And just light a Fireside scented candle in the room and it will smell like a real fireplace too.

[@PeterSchneemann]

Home-made and better looking than Magikflame 😂

[@arbazmadeit]

Is this safe to do? Will the tv heat up?

[@mshomefire]

Just given away industrial secret to £2090 electric fake flame heater with adjustable flame and optional heat. Ooops

[@avairybird]

Is ig not just a tv in yr fireplace and search real fire on utube

[@davidholman48]

Where can I get that DVD?

[@lindakohlfeld3912]

i got mine right here on you tube. also amazon has them.

[@taipeikartman]

What if you have a double sided fireplace?

[@JaneEskayWaldmann]

what are gel pots?

[@germanshepherd13]

wondering the same thing

[@taipeikartman]

Why not.connect to KZbin then can watch different fires?

[@tinabarga]

Yes I've done that!

[@garyt3039]

Great idea if you only want the fire effect and sound, but don't try to toast your marshmallows a?.. :-)

[@tecnologiaoficial]

Now imagine if you can use a 3D DVD and one of the 3D TVs that don't need glasses...

[@Biffo1262]

.......and gives off no heat whatsoever! But like a refrigerator that doesn't cool.....not a lot of use but looks ok!

[@elektiriklisominednr2676]

what's the price

[@kelm386]

lmbo 😂 totally had me. looks real but isn't functional for those who reside in colder areas.

[@corvuse.2873]

Add an electric fireplace heater

[@jamiedimon403]

Yes, that babe i have been trying to impress down in accounts receivables will be mine when i bring her back to my place and she sees this.

[@princesswilliams1353]

Umm.....what about the heat? LOL That's the reason most ppl. want a fireplace. Nice idea though :-)

[@drumandbassob0007]

i would say a they is a lot of people that just like the look and sound of one , i would have the central heating on set for the right temp but have the fake fire on for a cosy look

[@crystalwatson2809]

Some people are looking for the functionality of a fireplace true, however lots of us just like the appearance, tranquility of one. I just spent $800 on an electric fireplace, it does have a heat option but to me I didn't really need the heat option, I'm still going to have to run my central unit because it's not that powerful and it's not going to probably help because I have cathedral ceilings. So yes some people need a fireplace because they're looking for a heat unit, but some of us just like to look at it, it's peaceful!

[@davidlambert7725]

Sadly this won't work in an antique Victorian cast iron fire grate because the 'format' (so to speak) is vertical (the fire space taller than it is wider.) The TV would have to sit on its side. The only way to solve the problem would be to make my own video of a real fire with the camera held sideways (portrait style.)

[@lanabrooks1554]

But it does not give off heat.

[@davide82843]

Then your doing it all wrong

[@WestCoastBroodWar]

But, what is the point without heat HAHA...

[@EricaYE6]

Maybe he lives in the hot South like me with 80°F winters and doesn't want any heat.

[@crystalwatson2809]

What's the point if you have central air and heat, lots of us just like the looks of a fireplace. They're pretty!

[@PopCapMusicTrending]

imagine faking a fireplace but it is actually expensive than real fireplace

[@nazarethr.flores5430]

cheap????

[@cgss2213]

My wife is inflatable.

[@avairybird]

So is mine but she went flat after a while

[@mystupidfacebook]

I am the inflatable one in my marriage so once in a while she has to blow me as i loose some air during the night.

[@Freshbrood]

The flame is too high and fast for the tiny size, and there should be some black soot effect on the logs placed in front. A+ for creativity, B- for artistic talent.

[@lilybeetle7059]

So the placebo effect apparently even works for fireplaces in Scottish homes...I always thought the frugal Scots sucked 'Extra Strong Peppermints' to keep warm....can't imagine them forking out for a DVD and the equipment to play it on.
