Here are a few pictures of 5 of our Vortex Fires located in the Prive Las Vegas night club located at the Planet Hollywood Las Vegas. These pictures were taken just after construction but the gas was not connected at that time. We will go back later and take pictures of all 5 Vortex Fires burning at one time. The center Vortex is 48" tall, on either side they are 36" tall and the end Vortex Fires are 24" tall. The glass that was used was a clear crystal with only a bottom frame. The top was free floating. These are located just behind the main bar in the large picture window open to the balcony.


The pictures below are from the balcony looking in to the Prive which over looks the Las Vegas Strip.



The pictures of the Kroner Wedding are now here!!
Please realize these are time elapsed pictures (hand held at night)
There were only 4 Vortex fires to light the entire party and it work very well.
The pictures below are our new electronic ignition Vortex Fires. These were built for the Best Western in Needles California on the Colorado River.
Here are the finished product pictures from the shop. They are each 42" tall and built to their specs.



In the last picture you can see the adjusting valve and the electronics.
The next several pictures are of our Vortex Covers. The vinyl that was used is from www.Enduratex.com. A high grade of marine vinyl. Check out their site, there are hundreds of colors. We can make these with tie, Velcro or a zipper fit.


The Vortex below was installed in the front yard in Glendora, California at Larry and Bonnie Bidwell.If you want to make a statement, then this would be it!

VortexED '55' NEW! Alcohol Fires!

The next few pictures are of 36" Black Reflective (chromium coated) Battery Operated Ignitions installed under the Vortex Fires.


If you notice the hole in the front, it is to light the ignition system in the event it does want to light because of moisture. We also use this hole to lift and remove this glass panel to clean the interior if it is ever needed. "Don't build a car and weld the hood shut." The batteries are accessible from and under the bottom side.
