An alternative to the inefficient, wood-consuming fireplaces of the past, the modern eco-friendly liquid fuel units available today provide an adequate warming effect, are entirely portable and are great for the environment, as they produce no contaminants or soot. Very affordable and with virtually no maintenance required, these units are quickly becoming the favorite for homeowners.



A Style And Size For Everyone



Fireplace units that operate on bio ethanol are made with wood, metal and safety glass, and can be easily moved from one location to another. There are large styles that can be fitted directly inside an existing firepit, and smaller units that can be placed on a counter-top, outdoor picnic table or even on a bedroom shelf. This means there is no worrying about connecting fuel lines as is the case with natural gas fireplaces. Installing one of those can be costly and once the unit is fitted, it is equally expensive to remove. The fuel for a ventless fireplace is loaded into the unit so there is no attachment of fuel lines. The larger ethanol fireplaces can produce up to 10,000 BTU and more, providing plenty of warmth and at the same time producing no soot or toxic gases.



Modern Fireplace Inserts



These units are crafted to fit directly into the wall, and since there is no chimney necessary, the location is entirely up to the owner. Their stainless steel design makes for a lightweight unit that disperses heat very efficiently, and these products are 100 percent greenhouse compliant. And the cleaning that is so difficult with wood burning units is a thing of the past, as the bio ethanol fuel produces no particulates, no carbon monoxide and only a miniscule amount of carbon dioxide 鈥?about the same amount that we breathe out.



Better Heat Distribution

Traditional fireplaces use moving air currents caused by the open chimney to feed the oxygen to the wood. A modern bio ethanol fireplace needs only the oxygen in the immediate vicinity to produce a bright, warm flame. The heat is dispersed frontward as well as to the sides, therefore even a smaller unit can warm a large room.



A Real Moneysaver



From the largest inset model down to the smaller outdoor burners these ventless ethanol fuel fireplaces save tremendously, as the fuel itself is quite affordable. No need to spend money on the purchase of wood, no cleaning of the chimney by professional maintenance personnel and a long warranty on the units means savings year after year. And because the fuel itself is inexpensive, most of these units can provide a steady burn for up to three hours at a cost of one or two dollars.



Make An Environmental Statement



No more production of greenhouse gases, dependency on natural gas from the earth or petroleum products when using an ethanol fuel fireplace. The fuel itself is plant-derived and leaves no environmental footprint. The only by-products from these units is heat, steam and a tiny bit of carbon dioxide, less than one percent of what an automobile produces.
