In general bio-ethanol fireplaces tend to be cheaper to operate than traditional ones. They are also more efficient, consuming less energy and producing a smaller amount of heat.

They can be moved between homes, which makes them ideal for renovations and new builds in which chimney breasts have been removed.

They are safe to use, but there are some things to keep in mind. First, you should never pour additional fuel into a working bioethanol fire when it is still burning. This could cause the fire to spread, and ignite nearby materials that are flammable. It is also recommended to avoid touching the nozzle or the burner while it's working.

These fires can also be employed in areas where chimneys aren't permitted. Contrary to open and wood-burning fires they don't require a flue or chimney and can be installed to existing walls, which will save you the expense of building a chimney.

Bioethanol fuel is a renewable resource composed of yeast, sugars from plants and water. It's a greener alternative to fossil fuels like petroleum or coal because it makes use of modern biochemical processes instead of geological ones. It is also better for the environment because it produces more oxygen and has less CO2. Biofuels can be made from organic and non-organic materials, but the most common is the agricultural waste.

Safety

Bioethanol fireplaces are a secure and eco-friendly alternative to traditional gas or wood fires. They produce real flames, but they do not emit particulates or smoke. They emit only water vapour and small amounts of carbon dioxide. This is the same CO2 that was absorbed by the plants used to make the fuel and causes less harm to the environment.

When using a bio-fireplace, it is important to follow all manufacturer guidelines to ensure proper use and safety precautions. For instance, you should never add more fuel to a fire unless it has completely extinguished. This is because bioethanol can splash or spill and could trigger an explosion that could set flammable objects around burning.

It is also recommended to keep flammable materials and children away from the flame, since a slight breeze could blow the fuel into flames. Keep the fuel in a place that is safe and out of reach of pets or children. If you have questions or concerns regarding the product, you must contact the manufacturer.
