Bio-Ethanol Fires

Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't have to be restricted to chimneys and can be used anywhere. They don't release harmful fumes, smoke or ash.

Safety Tips

Ethanol fireplaces are a great alternative for those looking to provide real flame warmth to their home without having to use a traditional log-burning stove or chimney. Bioethanol is a renewable and sustainable alternative to wood and gas. There are a few safety concerns to be aware of. However with a bit of care and understanding, these risks can be minimized.

As with any fire, it is essential to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for lighting and refuelling your bio-ethanol fireplace. This will include the requirements for clearance distances to nearby material that is combustible and the proper use of fire extinguishing tools.

Bioethanol is flammable and is not recommended for consumption by pets or children. Maintain a distance of at 1 meter from the fireplace when using it. Also, make sure that the clothing or accessories do not get too close.

If any ethanol liquid comes in contact with your eyes or skin, you should wash it immediately. If it is inhaled you should seek immediate medical attention because it could cause serious health issues.

Use the ethanol burner with only the 'eNRG' liquid alcohol approved by the manufacturer. Other fuels, such as gels, can impact the safety of the burner, and could void the warranty.

Another important tip is to not move the bio ethanol fireplace while it is still burning. This could lead to ethanol spilling and ignite in the tank, creating an fire risk. Additionally it is recommended to wait until the fire has cooled completely before refilling the tank.

As with any fireplace, it is essential to keep the burner away from anything that could ignite, including furniture and curtains.

You should also keep a class B fire extinguisher in your home in case something goes wrong.

Fuel

Ethanol fires require a special fuel to function. Sometimes, it is referred to as bio ethanol or eco-ethanol The liquid is poured into the burner, and then ignited to produce the flame. This flame creates heat, creating warm air and adding ambiance to your home.

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

Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't produce smoke or ash, unlike wood-burning fires. This makes them more convenient to use and don't require a chimney or a flue.

You can pick between liquid and gel bio ethanol fuel depending on the kind of burner and the appliance you have. The manual that came along with your fire will tell you the type of fuel you should use and how to refill it. Store any fuel you have left in a safe location away from flames and pets or children.

Bioethanol, although it is a greener alternative to other fuels than others however, still emits carbon dioxide upon combustion. Additionally, some critics argue that the crops grown for the purpose of making ethanol fuel divert resources from food production. These concerns are valid but the benefits of a bioethanol-based fire far outweigh these concerns.

Before refilling a bio-ethanol fuel, it is important to examine the burner for signs of damage or wear. Check that the flame openings are clean and free of debris or construction materials. After you're sure that the burner is in good working order close the lid and pour the fuel into the burner through a funnel. When refilling, be sure not to go over the maximum "max line" that is marked on the burner's surface.

A single fill of ethanol can last from one to ten hours dependent on how big the flame and burner are. Certain ethanol burners feature automatic refill functions that will shut off the flame and then automatically refill when needed, which saves time.

Burner

Freestanding bio ethanol fires are great for creating a cosy space without the necessity of an chimney or a flue. Some models can be mounted on the wall, while others are designed to be zero clearance fireplace inserts that can be put in non-combustible enclosures, just like a gas fire. This enables an built, custom-built, and insulated fire to be used in a variety of indoor Bio-ethanol fires and outdoor spaces.

The burner is crucial to the success and efficiency of a bio-ethanol flame. It is designed to burn ethyl alchohol or biofuel efficiently. This liquid fuel comes from plants such as sugarcane, corn and rapeseed. It's also derived from grapes, potatoes, bananas, and pomegranates. It is then distilled and filtered before being packaged to be used.

As the fuel burns it will vaporize and produce an imitation flame that resembles the heat produced by real gas or wood fireplaces. This flame is incredibly efficient and provides sufficient heating for a typical home, meaning you can enjoy an open flame with no smoke or harmful emissions.

In comparison to a gas fire the bio ethanol fire can be switched on and off at the flick of a switch, as well as being easily re-fuelled with a bottle of fuel. However, there is an element of dexterity required to refill a bio fire as the bottles are flammable, therefore it is essential to be aware and always leave them to cool before touching.
