You also have a choice of manual or automated bio ethanol burners. The automatic burner is designed to keep the fuel away from the flames so it can burn for longer without the danger of overheating or running out of. A manual burner works similarly to a traditional fireplace, however you'll require matches or lighters to light the flames.

It's important to remember that when choosing a bio ethanol burner, the burner must be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the flame could overheat and damage the fireplace.

Designs and styles

As opposed to a wood-burning fireplace bio ethanol fires don't lose a lot of heat up the chimney, so it can produce an incredible amount of heat for its size.

Most manufacturers recommend that you leave at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire, to ensure you have enough time to safely put out the flames and ensure that all flammable materials are away from the flame. Additionally, it is recommended to store any spare fuel with ethanol out of reach of pets and children to prevent any accidents from occurring.

Easy maintenance

The bioethanol fuel is poured into the burner, and then ignited. As the fuel burns, it produces an ember and heat that can be adjusted using a slider (not all designs have this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can change the speed at which the fuel is burned and how high the flame burns.

The soot that is produced by the fuel burning is easily removed using a a soft, clean cloth. The only other maintenance is to keep the fireplace full of the correct fuel and to ensure it's kept away from items or materials that are flammable.

You can even opt to have a free-standing model that you can move from room to room.

Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces can be incorporated into walls easily, and certain models can be turned 180 degrees to focus the heat and flame to the desired location of your room. Some models include a remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from your couch.

A majority of wall fires-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets that allow them to be affixed to an unfinished ceiling or a an inclined one. The fireplace can be installed wherever you'd like is possible however, you'll still be able to make use of the remote control to turn off the fireplace or adjust the flame's height and adjust the temperature.
