There is also the option of automatic or manual bioethanol burners. An automatic burner keeps the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, which means it will burn longer without risk of running out or overheating. A manual burner works exactly the same way as an old-fashioned fireplace, but you'll need to use matches or a lighter to light the flames.

When selecting a burner for your bio ethanol fireplace, it's worth remembering that the burner needs to be covered by non-combustible materials to ensure that nothing comes into contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the fire could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace.

It is crucial to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the flame cools down before refueling. If you don't do this, the ethanol might evaporate and you will have to start from scratch.

Most manufacturers suggest that you wait at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire so that you have enough time to properly put out the flames, and make sure that all flammable materials are away from the fire. In addition, it's recommended to store any spare fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of pets and children, to avoid any accidents from happening.

Easy maintenance

The bio ethanol fuel is poured into the burner, and then ignited. As the fuel burns, it produces an ember and heat that can be adjusted using an adjustable slider (not all designs have this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is supplied to the fire you can alter the speed at which the fuel burns and also the intensity of the flame.

The soot produced by the burning of fuel can be easily removed with a soft clean cloth. The only other maintenance is to ensure that the burner is topped up with the right fuel and ensure that it is kept away from any dangerous materials or objects.

Certain models come with remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.

For maximum versatility, many of the plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces come with brackets that allow you to connect them to an unfinished or sloped ceiling. This allows you to install the fireplace wherever you like it and still be in a position to turn it off or on and adjust the flame's height, and set the temperature with the remote control.

If you're not using your fireplace suites with ethanol, be sure to turn it off and keep it away from any flammable objects or materials. Also, don't attempt to pour additional fuel inside the burner until it has cooled to room temperature and always be cautious when handling the fire as it will be very hot.
