Bio-Ethanol Fires

In contrast to traditional fireplaces that burn wood bio-ethanol fireplaces can be placed anywhere without the need for Bio-Fire flues. They do not emit harmful fumes, smoke or ash.

The fires are powered by bio-fuel, a sustainable source of energy made from crops that are grown specifically for this type of fire. With the use of bio-ethanol, carbon emissions are reduced because of switching fossil fuels to renewable energy sources.

Safety Tips

Ethanol fireplaces are an excellent alternative for those looking to add real flame warmth to their home without having to use an old-fashioned log-burning stove or chimney. Bioethanol is a sustainable and green alternative to wood and gas. Although there are some safety concerns to be aware of, they can be minimized with a little care and knowledge.

As with any fire, it's important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for lighting and refuelling your bio ethanol fireplace. This will include the distances between your fireplace and nearby combustible material and the proper usage of fire extinguishing equipment.

Bioethanol is flammable, and should not be consumed by children or pets. When using the fireplace, maintain a distance of at least one metres and make sure that any clothes or accessories aren't too close to it.

If any ethanol liquid does come into contact with skin or eyes, wash immediately. If it is inhaled then you should seek medical attention right away because it could cause various serious health conditions.

Always make sure to use the ethanol heater only when using the approved 'eNRG' liquid ethanol. Using other types of fuel like gels could affect the operation and safe operation of the burner and may void the manufacturer's warranty.

Another tip is to not move the bio ethanol fireplace while it is still lit. This could lead to ethanol spilling and ignite inside the tank, posing the risk of a fire. In addition, it is advised to wait until the fire has cooled completely before refilling.

It is essential to keep the flame away from flammable items like furniture and curtains. You should also put the fireplace in a place that has good ventilation to avoid smoke accumulation and to keep the air clean. This will ensure the safety of your family, pets and guests. It is also recommended to have an extinguisher of class B at home in the event of an accident.

Fuel

Ethanol fires require a specific fuel in order to function. The liquid, referred to as ecoethanol or bio-ethanol, is poured in the burner and then ignited to create a fire. The flame warms the space and provides warmth to your home.

The fuel is derived from renewable resources like corn or sugarcane. This makes it an environmentally friendly alternative than fossil fuels like coal or oil. It is also healthier than other fuels since it uses fewer chemicals.

Bio-ethanol fireplaces do not create smoke or ash, unlike wood-burning fires. This makes them much easier to use than traditional fireplaces and does not require a chimney or flue. Additionally, bio-ethanol fires are more adaptable and don't need to be surrounded by a secure distance, as you would with a wood or gas burning fire.

You can choose between bioethanol that is either gel or liquid depending on the type of appliance you have and burner type. The manual that came with your fire should tell you what fuel to use and how to refill it. Store extra fuel in a safe place, away from flammables and children or pets.

Bioethanol, although it is a greener alternative to other fuels than others however, still emits carbon dioxide upon combustion. In addition, some critics claim that the crops cultivated for the purpose of producing fuel for ethanol divert resources away from food production. Although these concerns are valid, the benefits of using a bio-ethanol fuel outweigh these issues.

Before refueling a bio-ethanol fire it is essential to inspect the burner for signs of damage or wear. Make sure that the flame openings are clear and free of debris or construction materials. When you're satisfied that the burner is in good working order, open the lid and pour fuel into the burner via a funnel. Be sure to not exceed the "max line" on the burner's surface when refilling.

A single tank of ethanol can last anywhere between a few hours and ten dependent on how big the burner and flame are. Certain ethanol burners come with automatic refill features that stop the fire and automatically refill the tank when required, which saves time.

Burner

Freestanding bio ethanol fires are perfect to create a cozy space without the need for a chimney or flue. Some models can be placed on a wall while others are designed to be fireplace inserts with zero clearance that can be put in non-combustible enclosures, similar to a gas fireplace. This allows an built, custom-built, and insulated fire to be used in a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces.

The key to the success of a bio ethanol fire is the burner, which is designed to efficiently burn ethyl alcohol, also known as 'bio-fuel'. The liquid fuel is made from plant byproducts and crops like corn, sugarcane, potatoes, rapeseed, and bio-Fire more recently fruits, such as grapes, pomegranates and bananas. It's then distilled and filtered before being packaged to be used.

As the fuel burns, it is vaporized and creates an artificial flame that mimics the heat produced by gas or wood fire. This flame is extremely efficient and provides enough heat to heat an average home.

In comparison to a gas flame the bio ethanol fire can be switched on and off at the flick of a switch and is able to be recharged with a bottle of fuel. However, there is an element of dexterity required to refill a bio-fire since the bottles are flammable, so it's important to be careful and always leave them to cool before touching them.
