You can also choose of manual or automated bioethanol burners. The automated burner keeps the fuel away from the flames so that it can burn for longer without the danger of overheating or running out of. Manual burners function exactly like a fireplace, except that you'll require matches or lighters to light the flames.

It's important to remember when selecting a bioethanol burner, the burner should be covered with non-combustible materials. This will ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This can damage the marble fireplace.

Ethanol fireplaces operate by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the burner before lighting it. The flame and heat produced by the burning fuel can be controlled using a slider. (Not all designs have this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can alter the speed at which the fuel burns and also the intensity of the flame.

For maximum versatility, many of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets that allow you to connect them to an unfinished or sloped ceiling. This lets you place the fireplace wherever you like it and still be capable of turning it on or off and adjust the flame's height, and set the temperature using the remote control.
