Fireplace Grates

Yes, converting to EcoSmart Fire ethanol fireplace grates is a certified, safe solution for indoor use. All models carry UL 1370 (North American), EN 16647 BSI Certified (European), and ACCC Safety Mandate compliance.

Safe indoor operation depends on three design requirements: adequate room size (70–116 m³ [2,472–4,097 ft³] depending on burner), minimum clearances of 600 mm [23.6 in] horizontally from flames to fixed furniture and 2,000 mm [78.7 in] vertically to movable items, and proper ventilation to ensure continuous oxygen circulation.

EcoSmart Fire grates are optimised for e-NRG Bioethanol fuel, which delivers superior flame quality and a clean burn; responsible use includes staying present while the fireplace burns and following the fuel spill protocol: remove ignition sources, ventilate thoroughly, allow the area to dry completely, then clean with water.

When these design and operational requirements are met, ethanol fireplace grates deliver safe, clean-burning indoor ambience.

Yes, ethanol fireplace grates are designed for fireplace conversions and produce substantial, measurable heat. With outputs ranging from 3 to 6 kW, they can warm spaces of 35 to 60 square metres [377 to 646 sq ft], depending on the burner configuration.

What sets EcoSmart Fire grates apart: because they're ventless, all combustion heat stays in your room. Traditional fireplaces lose heat up the chimney, a significant efficiency loss. Your bioethanol grate retains that warmth, making it an effective heating solution for converted spaces.

Bioethanol fireplace grates work by simply placing the self-contained unit into your existing fireplace and filling it with clean-burning e-NRG bioethanol fuel. Once lit, the bioethanol burns without producing smoke, soot, or flying embers, creating a real flame without requiring a chimney or flue. The grates attach to a level platform using an easy fitting system and can transform traditional wood fireplaces into contemporary, eco-friendly fires within minutes.

Yes, converting your existing fireplace to bioethanol is simple with EcoSmart Fire grates. These self-contained units drop directly into traditional fireplaces and can be operational within minutes. The VB2 burner and Heritage Grate series are also specifically designed for converting wood-burning fireplaces to clean-burning bioethanol without requiring chimney modifications.
