You also have a choice of manual or automatic bioethanol burners. An automatic burner will keep the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, meaning it can burn for longer without running out or overheating. Manual burners operate similar to fireplaces, but you will need matches or lighters in order to ignite the flames.

When choosing a burner for your bio ethanol fireplace, it's important to keep in mind that the burner must be covered by non-combustible materials to ensure that nothing comes into contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could cause damage to the fireplace.

Ethanol fires are a great alternative for those looking to create a dramatic feature in their home, but don't have the funds or time to build gas or wood fireplaces. They're the perfect option for new homes or renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. Since they do not generate soot or ash, there aren't any issues with maintenance also.

Designs and styles

Bio ethanol fireplaces are available in a variety of styles and designs. Some bio ethanol fireplaces have a traditional wood-burning look and others have modern and sleek design. Every type of fireplace offers the same advantages, regardless of design that is a genuine flame atmosphere without toxic gases or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more movable and can be moved around the room as desired. Wall-mounted models are attached to the walls and may require specialized mounting gear. They also must meet certain distances between flammable substances and the unit.

The fire itself is created by a burner pan situated at the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is then lit with a long-lasting lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the fire is ignited, you can sit back and relax in your home's warm atmosphere.

Some ethanol fire places have heating settings that can be adjusted. This allows you to adjust the amount of heat that your fireplace produces.

No flue

A bio ethanol fireplace doesn't create a lot of particles that can harm the air, which is good news for those suffering from asthma or allergies. Another advantage is that there is no smoke produced by the fireplace and therefore 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, which means it can produce an incredible amount of heat for its size. This allows you to keep your furniture close to the flame without worrying about it burning and causing danger.

There are a variety of designs available for a bio ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can opt for an elegant and contemporary look by installing it on the wall, or you can get one that is recessed to blend into the style of your space.

Another thing to consider is whether you want either a manual or automatic burner. A manual burner requires that you light the fuel directly out of the reservoir. An automatic burner will automatically light your fire when the tank is empty.

It is important that you allow the flames to completely burn out and wait until the burner cools before refilling. If you don't, the ethanol may evaporate and you'll have to start from scratch.

The majority of manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will allow you enough time to extinguish the flames, and to remove any flammable materials from the fire. To avoid any accidents, store any remaining fuel ethanol out of reach of pets and children.

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 an adjustable 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 how high the flame burns.

As the fuel burns, it releases a small amount of soot, but this can be easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other requirement is to ensure that the burner is full of the correct fuel and to ensure it is kept away from any flammable materials or objects.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are simple to set up and some models let you rotate the unit by 180 degrees, allowing you to direct the flame and heat towards the desired location of the room. You can even mount a remote control onto some of the designs to take full control from the comfortable sofa.

For maximum versatility, many of the plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets that let you connect them to an unfinished or sloped ceiling. Installing the fireplace wherever you like is possible, however, you'll still be able to make use of the remote control to shut it off or adjust the flame's height and set the temperature.

If you're not using your ethanol burner ensure that it is off and a safe distance away from any flammable substances or supplies. Also, don't attempt to pour additional fuel inside the burner until it's cooled to room temperature and always be careful when handling the burner as it is very hot.
