FAQ's

Where is the best place to install an ethanol fireplace?

Our ethanol fireplaces can be installed virtually anywhere - in walls, cabinets, high-rise buildings, commercial/residential /hospitality spaces, indoors and outdoors. Because EcoSmart Fire’s ethanol fireplaces are ventless, they require no gas line, no electricity, and no chimney for a hassle-free and cost-effective installation. Our ethanol fireplaces have been designed and tested with safety as our top priority. We have outlined requirements for each ethanol burner, ethanol fireplace insert, and ethanol freestanding fireplace in our collection. These guidelines include minimum room size requirements and clearance recommendations for flammable materials and movable objects.Please refer to our manual for more information.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Will my ethanol fireplace heat the room?

All EcoSmart Fires are ventless, meaning all the heat stays in the room rather than escaping up a flue. Increased heat retention means increased fuel efficiency and a better chance of staying warm. While providing warmth, EcoSmart Fires are not designed to be used as a room’s primary heat source. Please see the burner section in our manual for full details.

How long does it take to assemble an ethanol fireplace?

There is virtually no assembly. Our freestanding fireplaces and fireplace grates are designed to be placed into the desired location, secured into position, and operated immediately. Our fireplace inserts are designed to slot into place, secured and built around your preferred finish – again a quick and easy installation – so your builder or interior designer will love you!The longest part of the setup process is trying to figure out where you want to place it – be sure it complies with our clearance requirements, particularly with regard to moving objects like curtains, tree branches and so forth.

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.

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.
