You can also select between automatic and manual bioethanol burning devices. An automatic burner keeps the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, which means it can burn for longer without the risk of burning out or overheating. Manual burners work in the same way as a traditional fireplace, but you'll need to use matches or lighters to ignite the flames.
When selecting a burner for your bio ethanol fireplace, it's important to keep in mind that the burner should be covered by non-combustible material to make sure that nothing comes in contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could damage the fireplace.

wood fireplace or gas fireplace. They are perfect for new construction and renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. Since they don't produce soot or ash, there are no problems with maintenance or worry about.
Designs and styles
Bio ethanol fireplaces come in different styles and designs. Some have a more traditional fireplace design that burns wood, while others are designed to look sleek and modern. Each model offers the same advantages, regardless of design: a real flame ambience without toxic gasses or smoke.
Ethanol fires can be wall-mounted or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around a room to meet your needs. Wall-mounted models are fixed to the walls and require special mounting equipment. They must also comply with certain distances between flammable materials and the unit.
The fire itself comes from a burner pan that is situated at the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan and the fire is ignited using a long lighter. The process 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 provide heat settings that can be altered. This allows you to adjust the amount of heat that the fireplace produces.
Another benefit of ethanol-fueled fires is that there is no need for chimneys or flues. This makes them an excellent alternative for older homes or newer ones that don't have chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces.

No flue
The most significant benefit of bioethanol over traditional wood or natural gas fires is the fact that they do not require a chimney for operation. There is no danger of a chimney fire caused by tar accumulation or a blockage.
Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't create numerous particles that could harm the air. This is great for people with asthma or allergies. The fire does not produce smoke, therefore it does not create a unpleasant odor in the room.
As opposed to a wood-burning fireplace bioethanol fires don't lose a lot of heat up the chimney, and therefore can produce an incredible amount of heat for its size. This allows you to keep your furniture close to the fire without worrying about it catching on fire, which could be dangerous.
If you opt for a freestanding bio ethanol fireplace, there are a few different designs to choose from. You can choose an elegant and contemporary look with a wall-mounted model, or you can get an recessed model that will blend in with the design of your space.
A burner that is either manual or automated is another aspect to consider. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir, while an automatic burner will automatically light your fire once the tank is empty.
When you've finished using your bioethanol fireplace it is important to let the flames completely burn out and to wait until the fireplace has cooled before refueling. If you don't, the ethanol might evaporate and you'll have to start again.
Most manufacturers suggest that you leave at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire, so you have enough time to properly put out the flames and ensure that all flammable materials are away from the fire. To prevent accidents, keep any remaining fuel ethanol away from pets and children.
Maintenance ease
Ethanol fireplaces work by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. The flame and heat produced by the burning fuel can be controlled using the slider. (Not all designs come with this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can alter how quickly the fuel burns and also the intensity of the flame.
The soot that is produced by the burning of fuel can be easily removed with an easy clean cloth. The only other maintenance required is to ensure that the fireplace is full of the correct fuel and ensuring it's a safe distance away from any flammable items or equipment.
