When it comes to creating atmospheric fireplaces in the home, bioethanol is often seen as a popular fuel option. But before you decide to purchase a bioethanol fireplace, it is important to consider the potential dangers and disadvantages of bioethanol. Fortunately, there is a safe and clean alternative available: Tenderfuel by Tenderflame.
Disadvantages of Bio-ethanol
Despite the benefits, there are also some disadvantages of bioethanol that you should take into account:
- Less heat output : Bio-ethanol offers less heat output compared to gas-fired systems, for example. A bio-ethanol burner usually has a capacity of around 3-4 kW, which is insufficient to heat an entire room.
- Limited Burning Time : The burning time of bio-ethanol is generally limited. For a longer burning time, it is often necessary to refill the fuel tank. How long you can use a filled burner depends on the size of the burner, but on average you can enjoy a fire for about 6-7 hours with a 2-liter fireplace.
- Fuel Costs : Although bioethanol is renewable, the cost of the fuel can vary and can be more expensive in the long run than other fuels. However, currently, bioethanol is a cheaper option than gas.
- Safety precautions : Bioethanol is safe when used correctly, but it requires strict safety precautions. It is important to follow the installation instructions carefully and not to place the fireplace too close to flammable materials. In addition, sufficient distance from walls must be maintained for freestanding fireplaces.
