FAQ's

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.

Can you cook on a bioethanol fireplace?

No, you cannot cook on a bioethanol fireplace. Bioethanol fireplaces are classified as decorative appliances intended for occasional use only, not for heating or cooking. They're designed to create ambience safely, but lack the proper heat distribution, surface design, and safety features required for food preparation.

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.

Do bioethanol fireplaces produce carbon monoxide?

No, bioethanol fireplaces do not produce carbon monoxide when operating correctly. EcoSmart Fire's bioethanol burners produce only heat, steam, and a small amount of carbon dioxide during combustion. This clean-burning characteristic eliminates the need for flues or chimneys, as there are no harmful emissions requiring extraction. However, proper ventilation remains essential for optimal air quality and safety.

Can I extinguish the ethanol fireplace before the fuel has burnt?

Yes, you can turn your EcoSmart Fire burner off at any given time, even if there is ethanol still left in the burner. It is recommended however, that you leave it to burn until it completely runs out. The shut-off mechanism is there for security and safety for those times when you need to leave the house, as it is not safe to leave a fire unattended. Please wait 60 minutes before relighting the ethanol after extinguishing it to let the ethanol cool. Built-up vapours may cause a strong, initial ignition if the ethanol has not cooled long enough.For all other brands, refer to the manufacturer's instructions.

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.

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.

Can I convert my existing fireplace to bioethanol?

Yes, you can easily convert your existing fireplace to bioethanol using EcoSmart's VB2 burner, Heritage Grates, or Fireplace Grates. These products transform traditional wood-burning fireplaces into clean-burning bioethanol fires within minutes. Just ensure any gas connections are professionally disconnected first for safety.

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.

Are ventless fireplaces safe?

Ventless ethanol fireplaces are safe when properly installed and operated according to manufacturer guidelines. EcoSmart Fire's bioethanol fireplaces meet rigorous safety standards including UL 1370-16 and EN16647 certification. Always ensure sufficient room size and follow all safety protocols.
