FAQs: Everything You Need to Know About Bioethanol Fuel & Fire Pits
Q: Can I roast marshmallows over the firepit?
A: Yes! Many of our customers enjoy roasting marshmallows over our small tabletop firepits. Bioethanol burns cleanly, so it’s safe for marshmallow roasting. Just be sure to monitor the flame closely and avoid letting anything fall into the fire.
Q: How long do the tabletop firepits burn?
A: Our small tabletop firepits burn for about 45 minutes to 1 hour per fill. It’s perfect for a cozy evening, whether you’re indoors or outside. If you want to keep the fire going longer, just make sure the firepit is completely out and cool before adding more fuel.
Q: Can I add more fuel to the firepit while it’s burning?
A: No! Never add fuel to an open flame. Make sure the firepit is completely extinguished and cooled before refueling. This is important for safety—adding fuel to a hot or active flame can be dangerous. Always wait until the firepit is fully cooled before adding more bioethanol.
Q: Do the firepits need a chimney or ventilation?
A: Not at all! Our bioethanol firepits are ventless, meaning they don’t need a chimney or special ventilation. Bioethanol burns cleanly, with no smoke or harmful fumes, so you can safely use the firepit indoors without the need for a vent or flue.
Q: Can I use the firepits outdoors?
A: Yes! Our firepits are designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Whether you’re adding ambiance to your patio or cozying up inside, bioethanol gives you a clean, smoke-free flame. Just remember to place the firepit on a stable surface, and avoid using it in very windy conditions outdoors.
Q: Is bioethanol eco-friendly?
A: Yes, bioethanol is made from renewable, plant-based resources, like sugarcane and corn. It’s an eco-friendly alternative to traditional fuels, and because it burns cleanly, it doesn’t release harmful emissions. Choosing bioethanol is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint while still enjoying the warmth of a real flame.
Q: Does bioethanol have an odor?
A: There may be a slight alcohol-like scent when you first light or extinguish the flame, but it’s very minimal and fades quickly. During the burn, there’s no lingering odor, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.
Q: How should I store bioethanol fuel?
A: Store your bioethanol fuel in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Make sure the container is sealed tightly to prevent evaporation. As with any fuel, keep it out of reach of children and pets.
Q: How do I light and extinguish the firepit?
A: To light your firepit, pour the EcoHeat Bioethanol Fuel into the fuel reservoir, use a long lighter to ignite the flame, and enjoy! To extinguish, use the snuffer tool to cover the flame and cut off the oxygen supply. It’s important to let the firepit cool down completely before refueling or moving it.
