Anyone got any experience of indoor ethanol fireplaces/fires ?

The ones I've been looking at only burn for 3/4 hours (manufacturer details) but what is the heat output like ?

I looked at them as a possibility for heating during my reno. Took me quite a while to work out that Ethanol was simply Methylated Spirits.

They seem very expensive to buy and run to me. Hence I moved onto other forms of heating quite quickly.

If it's outside heating you want consider this instead. Next to zero to run, and boy what a focal point !

During the teens 3 month grad party, one of the mates was so pissed he fell into one of those fire pits Severe burns, ambulance, burns unit appointments for couple of months. His fault of course but what a mess

Probably one of the untalked about hazards of living in Aus.... Lots of outdoor fire get togethers.

Hope he comes good soon.

I've got an ethanol fire in my house. It looks really nice and is a great focal point when entertaining but it sadly doesn't give out much heat.

I would say that they are very much a triumph of form over function, and that if you need a serious heating solution to look to something else...

Thanks - seeing flames adds that extra warmth imho.

How long does yours burn for, how many burners do you have and what is capacity of the tank ?

Like drinking the fuel perhaps?
