Optimyst Mapleton
A convincing fire anywhere there’s an outlet. Quick Facts • Heating Capacity: 0–500 sq ft approx. 400–500 sq ft—one room • Viewing Area: 14-3/4″ wide fire • Fuel: Electric; plugs into a standard household outlet. • Controls: Remote for flame, heat, and crackling sound, plus a power switch behind the door. • Fan: Included (fan-forced heater). Who It’s For Some rooms were never built for fire—no chimney, no gas line, a lease that says no. So the corner where a stove belongs sits empty. You need a fire that plugs into an outlet and still looks like a fire. If that describes your condo, rental, or chimney-less living room , the Optimyst Mapleton is the one to look at: a standard electric flame is an image behind glass, while this one makes its flames from actual rising mist. What Makes It Special Optimyst builds the fire out of fine water mist and LED light, so the flames rise, curl, and drift in three dimensions instead of looping on a screen. And because the fire is mist, the flames and the glass stay cool to the touch —you can put a hand right where the fire is. Turn on the crackling sound and it fools the ears too. It also separates the fire from the heat. Run flame only on a June evening, or add the heater when the room needs it— one tank of water gives up to 6 hours of continuous flame . Either way it looks the part: cast iron door, front, and top panel in matte black, a hand-finished log set behind the glass, and storage for real logs below. Possible Downsides • The tank runs up to 6 hours per fill , so an all-day fire means refilling with water along the way. • Flame and heat both need electricity ; in a power outage it won’t carry the room the way a wood stove would. • Matte black is the only finish. If you want a fire in a room that was never built for one, the Optimyst Mapleton is the right decision. The corner that sat empty becomes the room everyone ends up in. It comes one way—matte black with cast iron accents and a hand-finished log set—and the single add-on is an optional flue collar that finishes the top with a classic stovepipe look.
