Kensington Bio Ethanol Fire Basket

This fire includes, a large bio ethanol burner, the beautiful Kensington basket. (black or polished silver). Each basket is hand made in the UK. The fire comes with white pebbles although alternative pebble colours and a brown log set is available.

 

The fire uses our  unique ethanol burner with its patented ceramic core.

The bio fire burner is constructed from steel and employs a porous ceramic block to store the bio ethanol fluid. The porous ceramic soaks up the bio ethanol like a sponge and then releases it in a controlled manner when required.

This bioethanol burner is TUV approved and is one of the only bio fire in Europe with a TUV GS safety approval stamp. The advantages of this system over open trough bio ethanol burners are as follows: 

  1) Controlled release of the bio ethanol fluid, which extends the burn time of 1 litre of bio ethanol and therefore reduces the running costs.  

2) The porous block absorbs the fluid so that in the event a burner is knocked over, the bio ethanol is contained within the block and doesn't spill on to the surrounding area. 

3) The flame height is controlledby the consistent release rate of the porous block.  

Our bio ethanol contemporary fires, burn bio ethanol producing no smell or smoke unlike a gel fire which burns gel fuel.  Gel fires do smell and leave behind a residue in the combustion chamber. The benefit of bio ethanol over gel fuel is that it allows you to sit around the fire without the usual inconvenience of smoke, a complaint of wood burning stoves. 

The fire is lit with an extendable lighter and extinguished using the sliding mechanism so you don't have to stick your hands in the flames. This fire basket can be dressed with ceramic logs, pebbles or our unique Black Diamond material.
