See What Our Clients Say About the FUEL

“After purchasing 2 Bio Flame fireplaces, I have to say that everyone should forget about the traditional gas or electric fireplaces. Bio Flame runs on bio-ethanol fuel that can be installed in any space, and it took 15 minutes for me to install in my urban city basement and about 20 minutes in my cabin bathroom. The living room and bathroom just needed to be big enough to provide decent ventilation. The fuel is stored in a small tank beneath the fire, so there is no need to run pipes to the fireplace. Definitely recommend.”

— – Danny Taylor

“The fuel I ordered allows for an odorless and sootless fire, which has made the clean-up easier and the experience enjoyable. Ethanol fires are definitely the way to go. I can honestly say I’m never going back to wood or gas fires again.”

— – Salim Reza

“Used to own an Ecosmart unit for a couple of years then saw BioFlame in one of the interior design magazines and decided to install one for comparison. In terms of pricing points, BioFlame comes in about 40% cheaper than EcoSmart and last about 2 hours longer on a can of fuel. Fuel can be obtained directly from Bio Flame which is a big plus and convenient.”

Bio Ethanol Fuel Vs. Other Types of Fuel

If you're in the market for a fireplace, you may have wondered how ethanol-fuelled fireplaces compare against other fuel sources. Here’s how bioethanol fireplace fuel measures up against other traditional and modern fuel options.

Alcohol Gel

At first glance, alcohol gel and bio ethanol fireplace fuel might seem very similar. However, there are some critical differences between the two.

Gel fireplace fuel is made of water, salt, pure isopropyl alcohol, and thickening agents. The salt in gel fuel is designed to create a crackling sound, imitating the noise of a wood-burning fire. Gel fuel comes in ready-to-use canisters that typically can’t be refilled and are disposed of when empty. Additionally, gel fireplaces require more work than bio ethanol fireplaces, as the alcohol gel canisters must be changed more often due to the smaller canister size.

Whereas bioethanol fuel burns with scattered, playful, orange flames, gel fuel offers thicker, yellow, slow-burning, and gathered flames. While an alcohol gel fire lights up quickly in about 30 seconds or less, it doesn’t produce as high of a BTU output compared to bio fuel, which typically produces 2,500-3,000 BTUs per hour.

Natural Gas

Natural gas fireplaces are hooked up to a natural gas line in your commercial space or home, requiring additional ventilation and connections. Due to the intense fire from natural gas, these fireplaces burn and use up a lot of oxygen from your room. In contrast, ventless ethanol fireplaces use ethanol fuel, allowing them to be completely ventless as they do not release harmful chemicals or toxins into your space.

As for the flames, both bioethanol and natural gas fuel produce real flames but look different. Flames in natural gas fireplaces tend to be more constant, while ethanol fireplaces feature dancing, playful, and mesmerizing flames. A vent-free bio ethanol fireplace is an excellent choice if you're looking for a fireplace for ambiance and decorative purposes.

Electricity

The main differentiator between ethanol and electric fireplaces is aesthetics. Electric fireplaces produce heat but not a real flame, whereas ventless bio ethanol fireplaces produce heat and a beautiful dancing flame. Additionally, depending on how electricity is generated in your area, electric fireplaces are usually not the most eco-friendly option as it's produced by natural gas or burning coal. So, if environmental considerations are important to you, bio ethanol fuel is a better, more sustainable fuel source.

Wood

Wood-burning fireplaces are the traditional fireplace choice. While the look, cozy ambiance, and smell of a wood-burning fireplace appeal to many, wood as a fuel source has some significant drawbacks. From sourcing wood, chopping wood, hauling logs, and cleaning soot and ash, these fireplaces are far from convenient or maintenance-free. Fireplaces fuelled by wood need professional installation, high up-front costs, a chimney, and ongoing maintenance. Whereas, an ethanol fireplace is a very low-maintenance option and doesn't require any permanent connections or ventilation as it doesn't produce harmful toxins.

Bio Ethanol Fuel

Bio ethanol fuel offers many more benefits than other fireplace fuel options. Unlike gas and coal, bio ethanol fuel is a greener alternative that doesn’t release harmful pollutants or chemicals into the air. This sustainable biofuel burns clean, making it a great option if you’re concerned about air quality in your home or commercial space. These ventless fireplaces are also a great way to add warmth and coziness to your home without compromising air quality.
