If you prefer traditional fireplaces, then ethanol fireplaces will give you a truly romantic and practical fire atmosphere without the smoke, soot or odors associated with traditional wood burning.
They are cleaner and simpler to operate. Simply fill the burner of the stove with liquid bioethanol fuel. Here are some more conveniences:
Unlike traditional devices that burn wood, ethanol fireplaces do not emit any dangerous fumes when burning. This is actually why they do not require a chimney. The fuel is pure bioethanol, and the end products of the flame are small amounts of water and carbon dioxide.
Since they do not require vents, they can be placed in a freestanding space without having to install it into the structure of the house.
Ethanol fireplaces are portable, so they can be placed anywhere in your home.
For apartment and house owners with small spaces, you may be bothered by not having a lot of free space. Wall-mounted or freestanding ethanol fireplaces will not take up precious limited space.
Here are some ways to safely start an alcohol fireplace:
Never use it in a well-sealed, airtight room or small indoor space.
If you must operate it in a closed room or small indoor space, place a carbon monoxide detector next to the alcohol fireplace and keep windows and doors open at all times.
Although there are no standards for alcohol fireplace manufacturers in China, make sure you buy quality products certified by authoritative organizations.
Only use biomass ethanol fuel specifically researched for fireplace equipment. This fuel is very common and can be easily purchased on Taobao or in related stores, but remember not to use other non-standard alternative fuels.
Do not touch the flame or the furnace directly during the operation of the alcohol fireplace. If necessary, wait for it to cool completely before moving it.
Do not place the alcohol fireplace near clutter, sofas, curtains, blankets, beds or other places where flammable materials are piled up.
Do not leave the alcohol fireplace unattended when it is in operation.
