Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces are ideal to add a warm feel to any room without the need for expensive structure work or gas supply. They are the most secure kind of fire available.

All you need to do is make sure that the ceiling or wall is strong enough and follow the instructions for the model you have chosen.
Most ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted have the hardware necessary to mount them either like a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. You'll have to locate the studs and fit the brackets and extensions however, it should not take more than an hour for an expert to do this.
There is also the option of manual or automatic bio ethanol burners. A burner that is automated will keep the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, ensuring it can burn for longer without running out or overheating. Manual burners work the same as fireplaces, with the exception that you will need matches or lighters to ignite the flames.
It's important to remember when choosing a bio ethanol burner, it must be covered with non-combustible materials. This will ensure that nothing gets in 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.

Designs and styles
Bio ethanol fireplaces are available in different styles and designs. Certain bio ethanol fireplaces sport an old-fashioned wood-burning style and others have modern and sleek design. Regardless of the style they all offer the same benefits: genuine flames with no fumes or harmful gases.
Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around a room to meet your needs. Wall-mounted models, on other hand, are anchored to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They also must meet certain distances between flammable substances and the unit.
The fire is started by a burner pan that is located at the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan and the fire is ignited using an extended lighter. It takes around 15 minutes to get the fire up to 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 offer temperature settings that can be adjusted. This allows you to adjust the amount of heat the fireplace produces.
A further benefit of ethanol fires is that it is no need for a chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent option for older homes as well as modern homes that do not have chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces.

No Flu
The main benefit of bioethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fires is that they don't require a chimney to function. As a result, there's no chance of chimney fires which could result from a build-up of tar or obstructions in the flue.
A bio ethanol fireplace also doesn't create a lot of particulates that can damage the air, which is great news for people who suffer from asthma or allergies. The fire does not produce smoke, which means it won't cause bad odor in the room.
In contrast to a fireplace that burns wood, bioethanol fires don't lose a lot of heat to the chimney, and therefore can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This lets you keep your furniture near the fire without having to worry about it catching on fire which could be hazardous.

A manual or automatic burner is a second aspect to consider. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel from the reservoir. An automatic burner will automatically light the fire when the tank is empty.
When you've finished using your bioethanol fireplace it is important to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the fire has cooled before refueling. Otherwise the ethanol will vaporize and you'll need to start over.
The majority of manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will give you enough time to safely extinguish the flames, and then remove any flammable material from the fire. To avoid any accidents, store any remaining fuel ethanol away from the reach of pets and children.
Maintenance ease
Ethanol fireplaces function by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the fireplace and lighting it. The heat and flame produced by the burning fuel can be controlled with a slider. (Not all designs come with this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can adjust how quickly the fuel burns and the intensity of the flame.
As the fuel burns it produces a small amount of soot, which can be easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other requirement for maintenance is keeping the burner filled with the correct fuel and making sure it is kept away from any fire-prone objects or other equipment.

Some models come with a remote controls that allow you to control the fireplace from your couch.
