This is pretty darn cool. It's amazing what folks do with their time and money (2 things I need more of in this world):

But it's made of foam, isn't it? Their whole house will go up in smoke soon if they're not careful 
Unless i'm missing something from their construction process (fire-resistant coating or something) cause i didn't look too hard into it |

I was thinking the same thing, melting foam, flaming foam. They sculpted some sort of cement over it.
I'm not sure, but I think a gas fireplace puts outs less heat than one with 4 wood logs in it. Turn on all the burners on a gas stove and put your hands 12" away. I dont think its too bad. Just dont put wood in there
Looks amazing! love the smoke effect |

Shiz - yeah - there's a coating, and the gas flame setup was replaced by another that produces less BTUs / heat. It's all purely decorative.
