Nine Things That Your Parent Taught You About Bioethanol Fire
Bioethanol Fireplaces - The Hottest Trend in the Fire Industry
Bioethanol fireplaces are now one of the most popular trends in the fire industry. These stylish free-standing or wall-mounted fireplaces are extremely versatile and are an excellent alternative to gas or wood fires.
They can be used in almost any setting if used correctly. Just follow the manufacturer's guidelines regarding minimum room sizes and keep the fireplace away from anything flammable.

The main element of a bioethanol fire is the burner that is the home for the fuel and also has a small opening or aperture through which vapors can mix with oxygen to produce flames. Depending on the model, the fireplace can be operated manually or automatically. Certain models have security features that stop the burner from running low on fuel. In any case, a burner should be kept away from objects that could be ignited by heat, for example curtains or furniture and should not be kept near anything that can be tampered with.
A bioethanol fire can be positioned on a flat surface like a table or floor or attached to the wall for more permanent installation.

Ethanol fireplaces are a great alternative to traditional fires made of logs. They offer a variety of advantages over other types of fireplaces including their ease of maintenance and installation. Ethanol fires do not require a chimney or flue and can be used in rooms with no such facilities. They do not emit the same kind of emissions like wood-burning fireplaces, and can pollute the air inside rooms.
To use a bio ethanol burner, follow the manufacturer's directions and fill the fuel reservoir up to the maximum level. Pour the fuel into an area that is well ventilated, and keep it at a minimum of one arm's length away from the flame. Then, ignite the fuel with an extended lighter. The flames will initially be low, but within about 10 to 15 minutes, it will reach the maximum level. You can even add more fuel to prolong the burning time.
The flames can last for up to 4-5 hours, based on how much oxygen is fed to them. They can be put out by closing the lid and starving them of oxygen or using a lighter to get close to the flames and blow them out. Once the flames are out you can refill your ethanol flame and start a new fire.
While some people worry about the safety of bio ethanol fireplaces, they're no more dangerous than other types of fireplaces.

When it comes to the safety of your fireplace with ethanol the latest advancements in our range have seen us introduce a unique "no-spill" fuel box into all of our freestanding and woodburner biofires. This new feature works by absorbing the ethanol inside the fuel box, ensuring that there is less risk of spillage when the burner is knocked or tilted.
Ethanol fires are also designed to operate in a 'confined space' to ensure that the flames do not spread too far away from the appliance. This means that they can be placed in rooms that are smaller than a traditional fireplace although the fire must be placed at a distance that is sufficient from any combustible object.
