Yesterday, we featured the [fridge with digital media compatibility](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whirlpool-plug-and-play-fridge), and today we have the fireplace with built-in iPod docking station. Built right into the beige faux-marble arches of the Cal Spas FRP4300 are [two speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-horizon) to enhance the natural sounds of the crackling fire. The flat, 4" x 9" speakers can be controlled from a distance via remote control so you can crank the beat and enjoy the 65,000 BTU heat from across the patio. The outdoor, sand-hued fireplace is convertible between propane and natural gas.
