You also have a choice of automatic or manual bio ethanol burners. An automatic burner keeps the fuel away from the flames, which means it will burn longer without the risk of burning out or overheating. A manual burner works in the same way as a traditional fireplace, however you'll need to use matches or a lighter to light the flames.

When you choose a burner to use in your bio-ethanol fireplace, it's important to keep in mind that the burner should be covered by non-combustible materials to ensure that nothing comes in contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could cause damage to the fireplace.

Ethanol fires are an excellent alternative for those looking to create a striking feature in their home, but don't have the money or time to install a wood or gas fireplace. They are great for new construction and renovations where chimney breasts were removed. Since they don't produce soot or ash, there's no issues with maintenance or worry about.

Styles and designs

There are a number of different styles and designs that bio ethanol fireplaces come in. Some bio ethanol fireplaces feature a traditional wood-burning look and others have a sleek and modern design. Whatever the design the fireplaces all have the same benefits: authentic flame ambience without fumes or harmful gases.

Ethanol fireplaces can be freestanding or wall mounted. Freestanding models can be moved around a room to meet your needs. Wall-mounted models are fixed to the walls and require specialized mounting gear. They must also comply with certain distances between the flammable material and the unit.

The fire itself originates from a burner pan located on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured in this pan and the fire is lit by a long lighter. The process takes about 15 minutes for the fire to reach its full potential for flame. Once the flames have been established and the fire is ablaze, you can relax, unwind and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.

Certain ethanol fire places offer temperature settings that can be altered. This lets you alter the amount of heat the fireplace produces.

Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they don't require a chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for homes that are new or older homes that do not have traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. A bio-ethanol fire does not release harmful gases or ash, which can be harmful to those who suffer from respiratory issues.

Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install in your home. The exact installation time will depend on the type of fireplace you select. However, most models can be set up fairly quickly. You can also opt for a freestanding portable fireplace which you can take with you in the event of a relocate, which makes it a good option for a temporary home. It is important to consider the installation ease when buying an electric fireplaces fireplace.

No Flu

The biggest advantage of bioethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fires is the fact that they do not require a chimney in order to function. There is no chance of a chimney fire caused by tar accumulation or a blockage.

A bio ethanol fireplace also doesn't create a lot of particulates that can damage the air quality, which is great news for those who suffer from asthma or allergies. The fire does not produce smoke, so it doesn't create a bad smell in the room.

As opposed to a wood-burning fireplace bioethanol fires don't lose a lot of heat up the chimney, and therefore can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This means you can keep your furniture close to the flame without worrying about catching alight, which could be dangerous for your valuables.

If you opt for a freestanding bioethanol fireplace there are different designs to choose from. You can pick an installation on the wall for a sleek, modern look or a recessed model that will blend into the design of your room.

A manual or automatic burner is a different option to consider. A manual burner requires that you light the fuel directly from the reservoir. An automatic burner will automatically light the fire once the tank is empty.

When you're done using your bioethanol fireplace it's important to let the flames completely go out and wait until the fireplace is cool before refilling. In the event that you don't the ethanol will evaporate and you'll have to start all over again.

Most manufacturers recommend that you wait at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, to ensure you have enough time to put out the flames and ensure all flammable substances are removed from the fire. To avoid any accidents, store any spare ethanol fuel away from pets and children.

Maintenance ease

The bio ethanol fuel is put into the burner and then lit. As the fuel burns, it creates an ember and heat that can be adjusted using the slider (not all designs have this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire you can alter how fast the fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.

As the fuel burns, it produces some soot, which can be easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other requirement for maintenance is to ensure that the fireplace is full of the correct fuel and making sure it's a safe distance away from any flammable objects or other equipment.

Bioethanol fire fireplaces are easy to set up and you don't need to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This gives you a huge amount of flexibility when it comes to designing your home and also where you can enjoy the warmth and beauty of your new fireplace. You could even choose to have a free-standing fireplace suite that you can move from room to room.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be installed on your wall easily, and certain models can be turned 180 degrees, allowing you to move the flame and heat into the desired area of your home. Certain models come with remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.

Many of the wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets to enable them to be fixed to an unfinished ceiling or a sloping one. This allows you to install the fireplace wherever you like it and still be in a position to turn it off or on, adjust the flame height, and set the temperature with the remote control.

When you are not using your ethanol flame ensure that it is shut off and is away from any flammable materials or other equipment. Do not pour any fuel into the burner until the burner has reached temperatures that are at or near the level of ambient temperature. Be cautious when handling it since it is extremely hot.
