Tiki Fireplace Anyone?

By DIY Maven

A chunk of foam, chicken wire, cement, paint, fire ring, smoke machine and red, glowing eyes and you've got yourself a tiki fireplace. Most likely the actual fireplace was an existing one. Its wall looks as if it has been refinished/skim-coated/veneered to give it a Polynesian look. For a pictorial review of the project, visit biffinc.com.

This looks innnnnncredibly dangerous, considering the flamability of foam and all the paint....let alone the toxin's/poisions that would be released when it did catch fire.
