Ethanol fireplaces available at The Original Flame

ethanol stove Michele Kadwell-Chalmers of The Original Flame has just introduced a fascinating line of ethanol fireplaces to her store. They can be installed almost anywhere, require no venting and no connection to a utility, which makes them an attractive choice for condominium, apartment, office and restaurant owners. Installation can be as simply as hanging them on the wall. When ethanol is burned its emissions are roughly similar to human breath – small amounts of water vapour and carbon dioxide. You can buy the ethanol fuel in four litre jugs. Michele has two lines, the German Blomus and the Australian Ecosmart. The Original Flame is located on Highway 7, East of Peterborough across from Heritage Furniture. Call (705) 742-9452.

Expansion completed for The Country Corner

The Country Corner, on the Lakefield Highway just past Giant Tiger, recently expanded, doubling the store size to accommodate a new line of Mennonite furniture. The unique store, owned by Jillian Demille and Bryce Wallace, supports up to twenty local farmers, some of them in season, but right now you’ll find chicken, eggs, beef, lamb, elk, cider, cheese, maple syrup, honey, jams, jellies, and the best part - every Saturday is sample Saturday! They also carry products from local artisans, cabinet-makers, and crafters. The Country Corner is open every day until Christmas. For more information call (705) 755-0774.
