FAQ's

Is the ethanol fireplace heat output similar to a gas heater?

Burning bioethanol is similar to gas, but the room doesn't dry out as it does with gas - a more gentle, softer heat is created. Heat-wise, it depends on the models being compared. Some of our bioethanol burners output 15,000 BTU and can heat up to 60sqm of living space. Bioethanol is not, however, on an adjustable thermostat. Some may be turned up and down, but you can't control the room temperature in the same way as you do with gas on mains.

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 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 ethanol fireplaces smell?

⁠All heating appliances have their own smell be it gas, wood or electric - ethanol fireplaces are no different. e-NRG ethanol fuel is made of fermented plants like sugarcane or corn and is essentially a liquid alcohol. To safely make it “de-natured” and unfit for consumption, substances have been added. The burning of these substances may cause a slight smell upon initial lighting and when the flame is extinguished – similar to when you blow out a candle. e-NRG ethanol fuel is the only fuel recommended for your EcoSmart Fire ethanol fireplace. e-NRG ethanol fuel has the lowest odour and longest burn time on the market. The nice thing about using ethanol is that it’s not dry like gas or smokey like wood.

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.

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.

Can ventless fireplaces cause moisture problems?

Yes, ventless ethanol fireplaces can cause moisture problems if used in poorly ventilated spaces. Ethanol combustion produces water vapour, which requires adequate room ventilation to prevent condensation and indoor air quality issues. Ensure proper air circulation and follow minimum room size requirements.

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 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.
