I’d be compromising my journalistic integrity by using the term ‘lit’, but that’s precisely what the SPIN is. A portable fireplace that ditches the age-old flame for a fiery vortex, the SPIN is absolutely alluring to look at. The portable fireplace, or fire vortex if you’re the technical kind, can be used indoors or outdoors. It comes with a base that holds the fire-starter, and an optional glass hood that helps expand the flame to make the vortex bigger and more visible.
The SPIN works by using three guide plates that cause air to rotate before it reaches the flame. The thermal lift of the flame itself accelerates the air, creating a flaming vortex, and the chimney effect caused by SPIN’s glass tube boosts the flow by up to 500% without any extra energy, allowing the vortex to rise significantly higher. The SPIN also packs an ‘extinguisher lid’ made from stainless steel that you can directly place on the top of the glass tube, breaking the air-flow and extinguishing the flame.
For a portable fireplace, the SPIN’s a pretty neat device that also gives you the added advantage of a pyrotechnic light-show. It uses a 500ml can of bioethanol gel that burns using 100% environmentally clean energy. In fact, the only by-product of burning the bioethanol gel is steam. Simply place the can into the SPIN and light it on fire. The SPIN’s guide-plates immediately begin guiding the flame into a vortex (which can be further accentuated using the glass chimney).
Perfect for outdoor as well as indoor use, the SPIN comes with two baseplates (one regular, one elevated) that can be rested on any surface, as well as a garden-pole base that turns it into a tiki-torch you can plant in the ground. With a light-source that can burn for as long as 1.5-2 hours, the SPIN makes an incredibly eye-catching miniature fireplace that does more than supplying warmth and light… it creates a hypnotic flaming vortex that’s definitely worth admiring, or taking slow-mo videos of for the ‘gram…

The beautiful flame vortex can be enjoyed for approx. 1.5 hours per can (Bioethanol FIRE GEL from höfats). To pause the show for a later time, just place the stainless steel extinguisher cap on the glass cylinder. This will extinguish the flame within seconds.
