Such designs differ in special environmental friendliness. Fireplaces of this type can be completely any size. Instead of the usual once firewood in such a fireplace use alcohol.

As a rule, small fireplaces are more decorative than functional. But the tabletop fireplace can warm a small room or just help to warm up in the winter evening. Ethanol is used as a fuel for fireplaces. This is a completely safe, eco-friendly material. During combustion, ethanol does not emit toxic substances, and converts oxygen into carbon dioxide.

Eco-fireplaces are arranged quite elementary. The burner with a reservoir for alcohol is inside. In the outer part of the burner is a special portal for decoration. In more modern models there are special automated mechanisms to control the intensity of the flame. And in older versions, the fireplace goes out when the fuel burns out.Glass fireplaces do not have coals and other elements that could be heated. This design is practically not dangerous.

The standard kit contains a burner, fuel tank, poker, decorative portal.In some types there are strips for fastening structures.

For correct use of a desktop fireplace you need a burner. Usually this is a container in the form of a glass. All parts of the eco-fireplace are made of heat-resistant materials. The only drawback of such a burner is that it is not possible to control the fire. You will not be able to adjust the intensity of the flame and extinguish it before the flammable substance runs out.

There are quite clear advantages of such a detail:

• Two or more containers can be placed in one fireplace. This will give more functionality and originality.

• The fuel compartment can be closed. Thus, the access of oxygen is blocked, and the flame goes out.
• The design prevents foreign objects from getting inside.This reduces the risk of ignition.

Such fireplaces work on alcohol, on dry alcohol, on ethanol. All these substances are convenient because they have no combustion products, emit only carbon dioxide. Using alcohol fireplaces do not neglect the rules of fire safety. Open fire should not come into contact with objects and is located near easily flammable substances. In addition, it is necessary to monitor the level of oxygen in the room.

Alcohol gives a flame of white and blue, and not yellow, like firewood. The bio-fireplace does not occupy useful space thanks to the built-in models and models of the small sizes. The fuel feature eliminates the need to make a chimney. There are some difficulties in the use of the unit. The area of ​​the room should be from 25 sq.m. Airing a room is a must.

An alcohol fireplace is completely safe for the environment. Unlike other fireplaces, this unit combines a real fire and the absence of harmful products of combustion.
