A burner that is automated will keep the fuel away from the flames, meaning it can burn for longer without the risk of burning out or overheating. Manual burners work in the same way as an old-fashioned fireplace insert, but you'll need matches or a lighter to light the flames.

It is important to keep in mind that when choosing a bio-ethanol burner, the burner should be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the fire could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace.

To prevent accidents, keep any spare ethanol fuel away from pets and children.
