Bio-Ethanol Fires Contrary to traditional wood burning fireplaces bio-ethanol fires are able to be installed anywhere, without the need for flues. They also don't produce any smoke, ash or dangerous gases. These fires run on bio-fuel, a sustainable source of energy made from plants that are specifically grown to be used in this type of fire.

In the event that any ethanol liquid does come into contact with skin or eyes, wash immediately. In the event that it is inhaled, seek medical attention right away because it could cause serious health conditions. Use the ethanol burner with only the 'eNRG' liquid ethanol approved by the manufacturer.

This allows a custom built-in fully insulated fireplace to be created within a variety of indoor or outdoor spaces such as the hearth of a modern living space to an alfresco entertaining area. The key to the success of a bioethanol fire is the burner, that is designed to effectively burn ethyl alcohol, also known as 'bio-fuel'. The fuel liquid is derived from plant byproducts and crops such as corn, sugarcane potatoes, rapeseed and, more recently, fruit like pomegranates, grapes and bananas. It is then distilled and filtered before being packaged to be used. As the fuel burns it is vaporized and creates an artificial flame that mimics the heat generated by a real wood or gas fire. The flame is extremely efficient and produces enough heat to warm the average home. In comparison to a gas-fire, a bio ethanol fire can be switched on and off at the flick of a button, and can be easily refillable with a bottle fuel. However there is a degree of dexterity required when refilling a bio-fire since the bottles are flammable, therefore it's important to be careful and always leave them to cool before touching them.
