FAQ's

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.

Are bioethanol fireplaces safe for homes with children or pets?

Like all fireplace solutions, bioethanol fireplaces can be safe with proper precautions around children and pets. EcoSmart Fire recommends installing certified fire screens, maintaining safe distances from hot surfaces, and never leaving the fire unattended. Children should always be supervised, and pets kept away from the unit during operation due to high surface temperatures.

Can I refill my bioethanol fireplace while it's running?

No, you must never refill your bioethanol fireplace while it's running. This poses serious explosion and fire hazards that could result in property damage, injury, or death.Always shut off the appliance and allow it to cool for at least 60 minutes before refuelling. The flame may be difficult to see in daylight conditions, so never assume the burner is off. Even when the flame appears extinguished, the burner remains dangerously hot and volatile vapours may still be present.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Can ventless fireplaces be used as a primary heat source?

Ventless bioethanol fireplaces are classified as decorative appliances intended for occasional use. They're designed to create ambience rather than serve as a primary heat source, and regulations specifically prohibit their use for continuous operation or home heating.
