You can also choose between manual and automated bioethanol burning devices. An automatic burner keeps the fuel away from the flames, ensuring it will burn longer without running out or overheating. Manual burners operate exactly like fireplaces, with the exception that you'll need matches or lighters to light the flames.

It's important to remember that when choosing a bio-ethanol burner, the burner must be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the flame could overheat and damage the fireplace.

Ethanol fires are a great option for people who want to create a dramatic focal point in their home but don't have the money or time to set up a wood or gas fireplace. These are ideal for renovations and new homes where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't generate soot or ash, so there's no need for maintenance.

Designs and styles

Bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in different styles and designs. Some are more traditional in their wood-burning look, whereas others are designed to be sleek and modern. Regardless of the style, each type offers the same benefits: authentic flame ambience without smoke or toxic gases.

Ethanol fires can be mounted to the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room in any direction you like. Wall-mounted models are fixed to the walls and may require specialized mounting gear. They must also meet certain clearance distances to avoid flammable materials.

The fire itself comes from a burner pan that is situated at the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into the pan and the fire is then lit with a long-lasting lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the fire is lit you can relax and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.

Certain fireplaces with ethanol come with adjustable heating settings. This lets you adjust the amount of heat that the fireplace produces.

No Flu

Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't release many particulates, which can affect the air. This is great for those suffering from allergies or asthma. The fireplace doesn't release smoke, so it won't cause bad smell in the room.

As opposed to a wood-burning fireplace bioethanol fires don't lose a lot of heat through the chimney, which means it can produce an incredible amount of heat for its size. This means that you can keep your furniture in close proximity to the flame without worrying about catching alight that could be hazardous for your valuables.

If you choose to install a freestanding bio-ethanol fireplace, there are a few different designs you can choose from. You can choose one that is wall-mounted for modern, sleek design or a recessed unit which will blend in with the design of your room.

Another thing to consider is whether you would prefer either a manual or automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automatic burner will automatically light your fire once the tank is empty.

It is important that you allow the flames to completely burn out and wait until the flame cools down before refilling. If you don't do this, the ethanol could evaporate and you'll have to start over.

Most manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This gives you enough time to safely eliminate the flames and then remove any flammable material from the fire. Additionally, it is recommended to store any spare fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of pets and children to prevent any accidents from happening.

Maintenance is easy

The bio ethanol fuel is poured into the burner, and then ignited. The heat and flame created by the burning fuel can be controlled with a slider. (Not all designs come with this feature). By changing the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can alter how quickly the fuel is burned and the intensity of the flame.

As the fuel burns, it releases tiny amounts of soot. However, this can be easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other thing to do is keeping the burner properly fueled and ensuring it is kept away from any fire-prone objects or equipment.

This gives you great flexibility when designing your home and also where you would like to sit and enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can also choose a freestanding model that can be moved.

Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces are able to be fitted into your wall easily, and certain models can be rotated 180 degrees to focus the heat and flame into the desired area of your living space. You can even mount remote controls on some of the models to control the entire thing from the comfortable sofa.

A majority of bioethanol fireplaces that are mounted on walls are fitted with brackets that enable them to be fixed to an unfinished ceiling or a an inclined one. Installing the fireplace anywhere you want is possible, however, you can still make use of the remote control to shut it off and adjust the flame's height as well as set temperature.

When you're not using the fireplace with ethanol, be sure to turn it off and keep it clear from any flammable items or materials. Do not add any fuel into the burner until the burner is at temperatures that are at or near the level of ambient temperature. Be cautious when handling it because it is extremely hot.
