I've seen full page ads (very expensive to run) in newpapers and magazines lately claiming an Amish man came up with a miraculous idea for a flameless fireplace. There are many sites now available revealing this as a complete scam. Here is the scammer's website; www.heatsurge.com
The people in the photos are not Amish. Amish do not allow photographs of themselves to be taken as adults. The "solid" wood mantle is plywood that is supplied by the company selling these things to Amish furniture makers who do make the mantles to fill in between furniture jobs.
What this is is a crappy Chinese electric heater that produces less heat then most hair driers. I for one will be warning my friends, family and anyone who will listen about buying into this scam.
