The Dimplex PowerChef Metro Table Top Electric Grill is easily portable and can be used indoors or out – Perfect for RVs
Last month we spoke about the great benefits of electric outdoor grills and how perfect they are for apartments, condos, balconies and patios. But there is another great place to use portable tabletop electric grills, and that’s with RVs. RVing is a wonderful recreational activity that gives you the freedom to travel the country, without giving up all of the comforts of home. So why give up the comforts of a home cooked meal? The typical road trip no longer has to consist of eating out for every meal. Now you can enjoy healthy, freshly grilled meats and vegetables all while enjoying the comfortable amenities of your RV.
Easily portable and large enough to cook all your favorite foods.
Today’s electric grills provide incredibly precise & even heating for perfectly cooked foods. Their compact size makes them easy to store yet they still offer adequate grilling space for all your favorite foods. RVers no longer have to worry about hauling volatile gas tanks, charcoal briquettes or bulky grills & grill stands. Unlike conventional grills, electric grills cook without an open flame yet are still capable of producing high temperatures to easily sear in juices and flavors. The electric grates heat evenly, preventing uneven cooking, so each square inch of the cooking surface can be used. Not only is cooking with Electric BBQ Grills a breeze, so is clean up. Simply wipe down and you are ready to move onto your next destination, take a hike, or simply sit down and relax while watching the sunset in the distance.

The weather is starting to break and temperatures are on the rise. You’re torn because it’s getting too warm to enjoy your fireplace, and yet you love the relaxing quality of watching the dancing flames flicker in a dimly lit room. If this is you, and you don’t have an Electric Fireplace in your home, then perhaps it’s time you joined the masses and considered it.
The Lexington by ClassicFlame is beautifully crafted with stunning detail work. The fire box features the latest technology and SpectraFire flame effect.
We have seen more and more home owners and interior designers selecting electric fireplaces not only for their beauty, but for their ability to be used year-round, no matter what the temperature, without the mess, smell or safety issues associated with other traditional fireplaces. They not only provide the physical warmth and visual delight of a life-like fire, but also the convenience of controlling the temperature and in this case, completely turning the heat off.
Having the convenience to turn off the heat function gives homeowners the ability to continue enjoying the calming effects of a flickering fire during the warmer spring and summer seasons. Fires are great for setting the mood for a quiet night at home as well as a focal point when entertaining family and friends. That being said, doesn’t it just make sense to be able to enjoy them year-round?
If you are looking for something that can be enjoyed year-round, there are several options available. First there are Electric Fireplace Mantel Packages, which are ideal for rooms or homes without an existing fireplace. These units have both the electric firebox as well as a decorative mantel surround. These units come in a variety of sizes and styles, with even some available as convertible corner units, giving you the versatility for either wall or corner arrangements.
The Dimplex OptiMyst Electric Fireplace Insert creates instant ambiance with its like-like flame effects.
If you already have an existing fireplace, you have a couple of options; an electric fireplace insert log set or a built-in electric fireplace. The log set consists of a grate, realistic logs and flame effect. Depending on price and model, some units utilize LED lighting over incandescent bulbs and some feature more intricately detailed logs for added realism. These inserts are designed to be easily placed within a fireplace, allowing it to highlight the traditional brick and mortar within.
On the other spectrum, you have built-in electric fireplaces. These units are fully encased fireboxes typically seen with glass fronts. They too are designed to fit into existing fireplaces; however they fully cover the inside of the fireplace, hiding any flaws or discoloration. The glass fronts prevent dust and debris from accumulating within and often feature an on-screen digital display which depicts the various functions of the unit.
