Bio-Ethanol Fires

Contrary to traditional wood burning fireplaces bio-ethanol fires are able to be set up anywhere without the requirement for flues. They don't release harmful fumes smoke, ash or fumes.

The fires are powered by bio-fuel that is sustainable and made from crops specially cultivated to be used in this kind of fire. Using bio-ethanol reduces carbon emissions by swapping fossil fuel for renewable energy sources.

Safety Tips

Ethanol fireplaces are an excellent alternative for those looking to bring real flame warmth to their home without the need to use traditional stoves or chimney. Bioethanol is a sustainable and green alternative to wood and gas. While there are some security concerns to be aware of, these can be minimized with a bit of care and understanding.

Like any other fire, it is important to follow the guidelines of the manufacturer for lighting and refuelling your bio-ethanol fireplace. This includes the distance of clearance required to adjacent material that is combustible and the proper use of fire extinguishing tools.

Bioethanol is highly flammable, and should not be consumed by children or pets. When using the fireplace, ensure a safe distance of at least 1 centimeter and ensure that any clothing or accessories are not too close to it.

If any ethanol liquid comes in contact with your eyes or skin, you should clean it up immediately. If it is inhaled you should seek medical attention right away as it can cause serious health problems.

Make sure to use only the 'eNRG' liquid ethanol approved by the manufacturer. Other fuels, such as gels, can impact the safe operation of the burner, and could void the warranty.

Another tip is to avoid moving the bio ethanol fireplace while it is still burning. This could cause the ethanol to spill out of the tank and ignite, which could create a fire risk. It is also advised to wait until the fire cools completely before refilling.

You should also keep an extinguisher of class B in your home, just in case of an accident.

Fuel

A specific fuel is required for operating ethanol fires. Often referred to as eco-ethanol or bio-ethanol, the liquid is added to the burner, and then ignited to form a flame. The flame warms the space and brings warmth to your home.

The fuel is derived from renewable resources, like sugarcane, corn or cellulose. This makes it a more green alternative to fossil fuels such as coal and fireplacesandstove oil. It is also more healthy than other fuels as it uses fewer chemicals.

In contrast to wood-burning fires, bio-ethanol fireplaces generate very little ash and don't smoke as they burn. This makes them much more convenient to use than traditional fireplaces, and does not require a chimney or a flue. Bio-ethanol fires are also more versatile and don't need to be surrounded by a secure distance, as you would with a gas or wood burning fire.

You can select between liquid and gel bioethanol fuels based on the type of burner and appliance you own.

Although bioethanol is a more environmentally friendly alternative than other fuels, it still emits carbon dioxide when burned. Some critics also claim that the crops grown to produce bioethanol fuel can divert resources for food production. These concerns are valid but the advantages of a bioethanol fire far outweigh them.

Before refueling a bio-ethanol fire it is crucial to inspect the burner for signs of wear or damage. Verify that the flame openings are free of obstructions and free of any debris or construction materials. After you're sure that the burner is in good shape close the lid and pour the fuel into the burner via funnel. Make sure that you do not go over the "max line" on the burner surface when refilling.

A single fill of ethanol can last between a few hours and ten, depending on how big the flame and burner are. Some ethanol burners are equipped with automatic refill functions, which turn off the flame and refill automatically when required. This helps to save time.

Burner

Freestanding bio ethanol fires are great to create a cozy space without the necessity of chimneys or flues. They are also extremely versatile with some models being that can be incorporated in a wall, while others are designed as fireplace inserts with zero clearance that can be inserted into non-combustible enclosures in the same way as gas fireplaces are. This allows a custom built-in fully insulated fire to be built in a variety of indoor or outdoor areas from the hearth of a modern living space to an outdoor area for entertaining.

The burner is key to the effectiveness and success of a bio-ethanol flame. It is specifically designed to burn ethylalchohol or 'biofuel' efficiently. The liquid fuel is derived from plants like corn, sugarcane, and the rapeseed. It's also derived from potatoes, grapes, bananas, and pomegranates. The liquid fuel is then refined, distilled and packaged.

As the fuel burns it will vaporize and produce an imitation flame that resembles the warmth produced by real wood or gas fireplaces. The flame is extremely efficient and can provide enough heat to heat an average home.

Bio ethanol can be easily refueled using a fuel bottle, unlike gas fireplaces. The bottles of fuel can be flammable, and you need to be careful when refilling your bio fire.
