Frequently Asked Questions
A bioethanol table fire is a decorative fireplace that uses bioethanol fuel to
produce a real flame fir. They can be portable and easy to use both indoors and
outdoors.
They provide a clean-burning, smokeless alternative to traditional fossil fuels.
Bioethanol fuel is a type of renewable energy made from the fermentation of biomass, primarily plant materials such as corn, sugarcane, or other starches and sugars. It is a clear, colourless liquid that can be used as a fuel for various applications, including transportation and heating.
Key characteristics of bioethanol fuel include:
- **Renewable Source**: Bioethanol is produced from organic materials, making it a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels.
- **Clean Burning**: When combusted, bioethanol produces minimal emissions, primarily carbon dioxide and water vapor, and does not release harmful pollutants like sulphur dioxide or particulate matter.
- **Uses**: Bioethanol can be used in specially designed bioethanol fireplaces for heating and ambiance.
- **Energy Content**: While bioethanol has a lower energy content per litre compared to gasoline, its renewable nature and lower environmental impact make it an attractive option for reducing carbon emissions.
- Overall, bioethanol is considered a key player in the transition towards more sustainable energy sources.
- Is bioethanol safe to use indoors? Yes, bioethanol is generally safe for indoor use as it produces no smoke or harmful emissions. However, proper ventilation is recommended to ensure safety and comfort.
To light an Aromafires bioethanol table fire, follow our safety guidelines to fill the bioethanol fuel cup and use the long USB rechargeable arc lighter supplied with your Aromafires to ignite the fuel. Always follow our instructions for safe operation.
Bioethanol is renewable, produces minimal emissions, and burns cleanly without smoke or soot. It also eliminates the need for chimneys or flues, making positioning a bio ethanol fire in the home a lot easier.
One Aromafires fuel cup (approximately one third litre) will generally last for approx an hour and 10 minutes. A 1 Ltr bottle of bioethanol Ekofuel will generally last for around three and a half hours.
Bio ethanol fires are primarily designed for ambiance rather than as a primary heat source but can often be used to warm up a small room, snug area or garden room without the need to turn on a whole central heating system.
Simply place our stainless-steel dowsing tool provided on to the fuel cup and the flame extinguishes in a couple of seconds. The dowsing tool can be left on the fuel cup to prevent left over fuel evaporating off.
If you purchase the recommended Ekofuel on Aromafires Eko Fuel page in quantities of 6 x 1 ltr bottles or more, your Aromafires will typically cost less than £1.00 an hour run.
Yes. Just click on our Eko Fuel page and you can purchase and have your fuel delivered quickly from Amazon.
One litre of bioethanol fuel typically produces to 7.0 kWh (kilowatt-hours) of energy when burned. This translates to around 20,000 to 24,000 BTUs (British Thermal Units) of heat. The exact amount can vary based on the specific formulation of the bioethanol and the efficiency of the burner used.
