FAQ's

Can I extinguish the ethanol fireplace before the fuel has burnt?

Yes, you can turn your EcoSmart Fire burner off at any given time, even if there is ethanol still left in the burner. It is recommended however, that you leave it to burn until it completely runs out. The shut-off mechanism is there for security and safety for those times when you need to leave the house, as it is not safe to leave a fire unattended. Please wait 60 minutes before relighting the ethanol after extinguishing it to let the ethanol cool. Built-up vapours may cause a strong, initial ignition if the ethanol has not cooled long enough.For all other brands, refer to the manufacturer's instructions.

What is bioethanol fuel made from?

Bioethanol fuel is made from plant sugars, particularly sugarcane, through fermentation and distillation processes. This renewable, plant-based fuel source is produced from agricultural by-products, creating a sustainable and carbon-neutral energy solution. The clean-burning bioethanol produces only heat, steam, and minimal carbon dioxide during combustion.

Can ventless fireplaces be used as a primary heat source?

Ventless bioethanol fireplaces are classified as decorative appliances intended for occasional use. They're designed to create ambience rather than serve as a primary heat source, and regulations specifically prohibit their use for continuous operation or home heating.

Can I refill my bioethanol fireplace while it's running?

No, you must never refill your bioethanol fireplace while it's running. This poses serious explosion and fire hazards that could result in property damage, injury, or death.Always shut off the appliance and allow it to cool for at least 60 minutes before refuelling. The flame may be difficult to see in daylight conditions, so never assume the burner is off. Even when the flame appears extinguished, the burner remains dangerously hot and volatile vapours may still be present.

How do ethanol fireplaces work?

EcoSmart Fire’s ethanol fireplaces are self-contained, burning bioethanol fuel that is housed within the stainless steel container. A flame regulator controls and stabilizes the flame. With a designated filling area, and easy shut-off mechanism, you can ignite the flame and turn it off in a matter of seconds.View this quick demonstration video to help illustrate the process. https://youtu.be/OH5uFuAJ2Hg

Can I convert my existing fireplace to bioethanol?

Yes, you can easily convert your existing fireplace to bioethanol using EcoSmart's VB2 burner, Heritage Grates, or Fireplace Grates. These products transform traditional wood-burning fireplaces into clean-burning bioethanol fires within minutes. Just ensure any gas connections are professionally disconnected first for safety.

Do bioethanol fireplaces produce carbon monoxide?

No, bioethanol fireplaces do not produce carbon monoxide when operating correctly. EcoSmart Fire's bioethanol burners produce only heat, steam, and a small amount of carbon dioxide during combustion. This clean-burning characteristic eliminates the need for flues or chimneys, as there are no harmful emissions requiring extraction. However, proper ventilation remains essential for optimal air quality and safety.

How long will my ethanol fireplace burn?

Burn times for our ethanol fireplaces vary based on flame size and fuel capacity of the burner. EcoSmart Fire’s ethanol fireplaces will burn between 8-13 hours when full.

Can you cook on a bioethanol fireplace?

No, you cannot cook on a bioethanol fireplace. Bioethanol fireplaces are classified as decorative appliances intended for occasional use only, not for heating or cooking. They're designed to create ambience safely, but lack the proper heat distribution, surface design, and safety features required for food preparation.

What are the pros and cons of ventless fireplaces?

Ventless ethanol fireplaces provide outstanding installation flexibility, requiring no chimney, flue, or fixed utility connection—making them ideal for apartments and contemporary interiors. They burn bioethanol cleanly, emitting no smoke, soot, or ash. However, as they consume oxygen during operation, it is essential to ensure proper ventilation in the room to prevent indoor air pollution. Always follow the minimum room size and ventilation guidelines specified by the manufacturer. These fireplaces are designed for decorative or supplemental heating, not as a primary heat source.
