Why Bio Ethanol Fireplace May Be More Dangerous Than You Thought

Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are ideal for bringing a cozy feel to any room, without the expense of construction or gas supply. They are the most secure fireplace type that is available.

If you only use bio-ethanol fuel specifically designed for your fire and follow all safety instructions, then your fireplace should perform in a safe manner.

Installation is easy

Ethanol fires are a fast and easy solution for homeowners looking to make their living spaces more attractive or create a focal point for their home decor. You don't require chimneys and they don't create dangerous smoke. The smoke won't build up on your ceilings or walls.

It doesn't matter if you choose the complete fire suite - like Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, Electric Firesuite available at PS569 - or a freestanding model that is able to be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191) Installation is simple and doesn't require any expert assistance. All you have to do is ensure that the ceiling or wall is sturdy enough and follow the directions for the model you have chosen.

Most ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted have the equipment needed to install them as flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. It will take a professional about an hour to mount the brackets, extensions, and locate the studs.

You can also select between automatic and manual bio ethanol burning devices. An automatic burner keeps the fuel away from the flames, meaning it can burn for longer without running out or overheating. Manual burners work the same as fireplaces, but you'll require matches or lighters in order to ignite the flames.

It's important to remember when choosing a bio-ethanol burner, the burner must be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the fire could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace.

Ethanol fireplaces are a great alternative for those who want to create a dramatic focal point in their home, but don't have the budget or time to install gas or wood fireplaces. These are ideal for new or renovated homes in which chimney breasts were removed. And, because they do not generate soot or ash, there's no maintenance issues to worry about, either.

Styles and designs

There are a number of different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces can be found in. Some have a more traditional fireplace design that burns wood, while others are designed to be modern and sleek. Each model offers the same advantages, regardless of style and ambiance free of harmful gasses or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be wall-mounted or freestanding. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room according to what is desired. Wall-mounted models, on the other hand, are fixed to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They also have to meet certain distances between flammable materials and the unit.

The fire itself is created by a burner pan situated on the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into this pan and the ethonal fire is then lit with a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes to get the fire up to its full potential for flame. Once the fire is ignited, you can sit back and relax in the warm ambience of your home.

Some ethanol fire places even offer heat 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 just ambiance.

A further benefit of ethanol fires is that it is no need for an chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent option for new homes or older ones that don't have traditional chimney breasts or fireplaces.

No Flu

The big advantage that bio ethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don't require a flue in order to function. There is no chance of a chimney fire that is caused by tar accumulation or a blockage.

Unlike a wood-burning fireplace, bioethanol fires don't lose a lot of heat to the chimney, which means it produces a huge amount of heat for its size.

When you're done using your Bioethanol Fire fireplace it is important to let the flames completely go out and to wait until the fire is cool before refilling. If you don't, the ethanol may evaporate and you will have to start again.

The majority of manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This will give you enough time to extinguish the flames, and then remove any flammable material from the fire. In addition, it's recommended to store any spare fuel with ethanol out of reach of children and pets, to avoid any accidents from occurring.

Maintenance ease

By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is supplied to the fire you can alter the speed at which the fuel burns, and how high the flame burns.
