Bio-ethanol fire

Are there any "rules" to comply with if installing one. Or can anyone just stick it in there?

 

After Nick has removed my tennants gas fire, they want to put something in the "hole".

 

Personally the optimist seems a better idea...............................

@daiking I have a bio ethanol kit used it inside a log burner in another house, wanted impression of logs burning without the pollution of real wood. It is a stainless steel reservoir that you put the fuel in, then hide with decorative bits etc.  They are all the same principle no matter what housing they are in.

 

This is what I would say about bio ethanol

 

There is a slight smell

There is not a huge amount of heat

It needs oxygen

It uses quite a bit of fuel and its not that cheap

They are real flames and could cause a fire if circumstances were right...unlikely of course but looking at worse case scenario

 

Personally I would be reluctant to put this in a TF house with MVHR unless you have provisioned for it, it will upset the MVHR balance.

 

If you are passing my way welcome to borrow my kit (have loads of fuel) to try it out.

 

I am only going to use mine outdoors in future...fire pit type set up.
