What is Bioethanol Fireplace Insert
Before we start considering the pros and cons of this fire solution, let’s clarify what the bioethanol fireplace insert actually is. A few years back, bio ethanol fireplace inserts were just metal cans filled with fuel consisting of about 95% ethyl alcohol. When fired up, the surface of the liquid started to burn – this is the place where vapours of hot alcohol were rising. Such bioethanol inserts were installed in the wall niches or hung on the wall to create an ambient decoration.
