There is also the option of manual or automated bioethanol burners. The automatic burner is designed to keep the fuel away from the flames so it can burn longer without the danger of overheating or running out. Manual burners function exactly like fireplaces, but you'll require matches or lighters to light the flames.

It is important to keep in mind that when choosing a bio-ethanol burner, the burner must be covered with non-combustible materials. This will ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the fire could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace.

Styles and designs

Bio ethanol fireplaces are available in various styles and designs. Some bio ethanol fireplaces have an old-fashioned wood-burning style, while others feature a sleek and modern design. Each model has the same benefits, regardless of the style that is a genuine flame atmosphere without toxic gases or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around a space to meet your requirements. Wall-mounted models are attached to the walls and may require special mounting equipment. They also have to meet certain distances between flammable substances and the unit.

The process takes around 15 minutes for the fire to reach its full potential for flame. Once the flames are set then it's time to sit back, relax and enjoy the warm atmosphere of your home.

Some ethanol fire places even have temperature settings that can be adjusted. This lets you customize the amount of heat that your fireplace produces, which can be useful if you want it to create more warmth rather than simply ambience.

Another benefit of ethanol fires is that it is no need for a chimney or flue.

No Flu

The biggest advantage of bio ethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fires is that they do not require a chimney for operation. There is no risk of a chimney fire that is caused by tar buildup or a blockage.

A bio-ethanol fireplace also doesn't produce a lot of particles that could harm the air, which is good news for those suffering from allergies or asthma. The fire doesn't produce smoke, so it doesn't create a bad smell in the room.

Bioethanol fireplaces produce an enormous amount of heat compared to wood-burning fires. This means you can keep your furniture close to the flame without worrying about catching alight that could be hazardous for your valuables.

There are many designs to choose from for a bio ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can select an installation on the wall for an elegant, modern appearance or a recessed one which will blend in with the design of your room.

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

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

Most manufacturers suggest that you allow at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire, so you have enough time to put out the flames, and make sure that all flammable materials are away from the flame. To avoid any accidents, store any spare ethanol fuel out of reach of pets and children.

Easy maintenance

The bioethanol fuel is added to the burner and then ignited. As the fuel burns, it generates the appearance of a flame and the heat can be adjusted using the slider (not all designs have this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen supplied to the fire, you can alter the speed at which fuel is burned and the intensity of the flame.

When the fuel is burned, it produces some soot, but this can be easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other requirement is to ensure that the burner is topped up with the right fuel and ensure that it's not in contact with flammable materials or objects.

Another benefit of bioethanol fires is that you can install them almost anywhere without having to worry about building regulations or chimneys. This allows you to enjoy a vast amount of flexibility in the design of your home and where you can take pleasure in the warmth and ambiance of your new fireplace. You can even opt for a freestanding model that can be moved.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be incorporated into walls easily, and certain models can be rotated by 180 degrees, allowing you to focus the heat and flame into the desired area of your home. You can even put a remote control onto some models to control the entire thing from the couch.

For maximum versatility, many of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces have brackets that allow you to attach them to a flat or sloping ceiling. This lets you place the fireplace wherever you want it and still be capable of turning it on or off and alter the flame's height, and set the temperature using the remote control.

When you're not using the fireplace with ethanol, be sure to shut it off and keep it clear from any flammable objects or materials. Also, don't attempt to add fuel to the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature. Also, be cautious when handling the fire as it will be very hot.
