Can you buy an electric peninsula fireplace?

I’ve been shopping around and searching online, but it seems to me that peninsula fireplaces are only available in natural gas or propane. I really hope this is not the case! I really want a fireplace and have no available walls for a typical unit. For various reasons, I am not interested in propane, natural gas, or wood burning.

Anybody know how to convert a freestanding stove/oven from natural gas to propane?

I have a stove that is equipped for natural gas. Only problem is, I use propane in my home. How easy is it to convert it? It’s a GE freestanding gas stove/oven.
Actually, Lowes has told us that we can order the parts and change the orifices ourselves. They did not mention a thing about it being illegal to do it ourselves. Seems like it’s a very common thing to do.
Though Lowe’s tells us it’s easy to get parts and convert it ourselves, it’s a very scary thought. We’ve been getting advice from one extreme to the other. Do it…Don’t do it…it’s safe..it’s NOT safe. How does one decide?

Is there a stainless steel fireplace insert conversion for my home?

I have a traditional brick firebox with glass doors in my home. The previous owner built a horrible looking pink marble surround which I want to tear out. What I would ideally like is a very modern looking fireplace opening like the one seen on the red wall here: http://www.fireplaces-store.com/. Fuel type is not an issue because we will hardly ever use it as a true fireplace. However, it may be too difficult to pipe in natural gas, so that may not be an option. Just looking for a good retrofit into my existing firebox.

It is a BARSTOW stove made in Providence,RI around 1920. It has 4 surface burners and 2 small ovens on top one of which is also a broiler. There is a wood box on the left that was the heat source for the larger lower oven. I would like to get it back in service using natural gas.

What is the most inexpensive way to heat your home?

Currently I have GAS heating (Forced AIr) and it is very expensive. I do have a woodburning fireplace but only use it in the evenings when I am home. If the wood would last in there all day it would be fine.

I would like to eliminate the need for GAS heating this winter. I am considering electric space heaters, radiant space heaters, etc. I wonder if the costs of that could be less than with natural gas.

I would leave the temperate in the home at about 70 *F

I live in North East Ohio and the winter temps get to be in the 20’s F, sometimes less.

If anyone has any suggestions, please!
