Does it do that with the TV turned off too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger440 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 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 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 The wife has been looking at these to give her a 'feature'. something like this: https://www.imaginfires.co.uk/stow-white-bioethanol-fireplace She wants something that actually provides some heat but I'm more concerned about how close to walls and furniture it can be placed. any experience?

lizzie Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 @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.

daiking Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 @lizzie it’s main home will be a draughty corner pier between 2 large windows in our extension. Air tightness and mvhr is not a thing for us to worry about anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Jones Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 i quite like them as well, but, a real fireplace is a must i think especially with ASHP. If the electricity goes off then we dont have an alternative form of heating. Too much of a risk for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
