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 controlled by 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 chimeneas and wood buring 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 pit can be dressed with logs, pebbles or our unique Black Diamond material.
