That’s right; Bio Flame ethanol fuel is so environmentally friendly that it is created through a fermentation process of sugars, including those from sugar cane, corn, beets, and potatoes.

“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
If you have been shopping around for fireplaces, you may have wondered how bioethanol-fuelled fireplaces compare with other fuel sources. Here’s how bioethanol fireplace fuel stacks up to other modern and traditional fuel sources.
At first glance, alcohol gel and bio ethanol fireplace fuel might seem very similar. However, there are some key differences between the two.
Gel fuel is made of pure isopropyl alcohol, salt, water, and thickening agents. The salt in the gel fuel is designed to create a crackling sound, imitating the sound of a wood-burning fire. It comes in ready-to-use canisters that usually can’t be refilled and are disposed of when empty. Gel fireplaces require slightly more work compared to bio ethanol fireplaces, as the alcohol gel canisters are smaller and need to be changed more often.
Whereas bioethanol fuel burns with playful, scattered, orange flames, gel fuel offers more slow-burning, yellow, gathered, and thicker flames. While an alcohol gel fire lights up quickly in about 30 seconds or less, it doesn’t produce as much heat compared to bio fuel, typically 2,500-3,000 BTUs per hour.
Natural gas fireplaces are hooked up to a natural gas line in your home or commercial space, meaning they require additional connections and ventilation. Due to the intense fire from natural gas, these fireplaces burn up a lot of oxygen from your space. In contrast, ethanol fireplaces use ethanol fuel, allowing them to be completely ventless as they do not release harmful toxins into the air.
As for the flames, both natural gas and bio ethanol fuel produce real flames but look different. Flames in natural gas fireplaces tend to be more constant, while ethanol fireplaces feature playful, dancing flames that are mesmerizing. If you’re looking for a fireplace for ambiance and decorative purposes, a bio ethanol fireplace is an excellent choice for you.
The main differentiator between ethanol and electric fireplaces is aesthetics. Electric fireplaces produce heat but not a real flame, whereas 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 burning coal or natural gas. So, if environmental considerations are important to you, a renewable fuel source such as bio ethanol fireplace fuel is a better, more sustainable option.
The traditional fireplace choice is a wood-burning fireplace. While the smell, look, and cozy ambiance of a wood-burning fireplace are appealing to many, wood as a fuel source also has some drawbacks.
From sourcing wood, chopping wood, hauling logs, and cleaning ash and soot, these fireplaces are far from maintenance-free. Fireplaces fuelled by wood need professional installation, a chimney, high up-front costs, and ongoing maintenance. On the other hand, an ethanol fireplace is a low low-maintenance option and does not require any ventilation as they don’t produce any harmful toxins.
Compared with other fireplace fuel options, bio ethanol fuel offers many benefits. It can be easily installed almost anywhere and does not need a vent, flue, chimney, or other permanent connection. Its unique design allows it to produce a good amount of heat, and it is fuel-efficient.
Ethanol fuel is a sustainable type of biofuel that burns clean. It is a great option if you’re concerned about air quality in your home or commercial space. Bio ethanol fireplaces are also a great way to add warmth and coziness to your home without compromising air quality.
If you’re looking for a beautiful, cost-effective, low-maintenance, and sustainable fireplace, a bio ethanol fireplace checks all the boxes! A modern solution to a traditional desire for warmth, comfort, and beauty in your home, bio ethanol fuel has quickly become a go-to choice for many homeowners worldwide.
You can purchase Bio Flame bio fuel at your local hardware store (Ace Hardware and Lowes in the United States, or Canadian Tire and Home Hardware in Canada). It is also available for order through online vendors including Amazon.
