Outdoor Bioethanol Fireplaces

Frequently asked questions

• Can i use the fireplace outdoors?

  The simple answer is YES! Although the primary purpose of these biofires is not for outside use, they will still look great and can be used outside as long as you're aware of some key points.  

  • The overall heat recieved from these will not be as high as when used indoors.  
  • Please keep it covered with a waterproof cover when not in use and do not store outdoors all year round.
  • Before use, always check the fuel box is free from water or any other foreign bodies, and is dry.  Any foreign object inside the fuel box when it is lit is of course dangerous.
  • Ensure any flammable items are moved beyond reach of any flames, allowing for the risk of winds blowing the flame in an unexpceted direction.  

• Can I use a biofire outdoors?

  Many of our customers do use their bioethanol fire outdoors, but please remember to position them well away from any flammable items, especially those models that have an open front. There may be an unexpected gust of wind that could cause a fire if the flame touches anything flammable!

  Also whilst there is the same amount of heat generated by ethanol fires when used outdoors as indoors, the space being heated is obviously much larger and therefore the heat level will feel less than when used indoors.  

  So if being considered for outdoor purposes, usage of bioethanol fireplaces outdoors  should be mainly used to create a nice relaxing vibe for your space. 

  Advantages of Using Bioethanol Fireplaces Outdoors

  Remember that another advantage of biofires is that since there is no smoke, and no chimney required, our freestanding range can be easily moved between indoors and outdoors.  

  Also, at the end of a pleasant summer evening, there's none of the somewhat overwhelming strong smell of smoke on clothes that some other alternatives leave you with! 

• Can bioethanol fireplaces be used in an outdoor space?

  Yes, bioethanol fireplaces can be used in outdoor spaces, providing an elegant and portable heating option. Here are some key considerations.

  Considerations for Using Biofires in an Outdoor Space

  • Weather Resistance: Choose a bioethanol fireplace specifically designed for outdoor use, as it will be built to withstand various weather conditions. Look for features such as weatherproof materials and durable construction.
  • In any case, always cover the biofire with a waterproof cover when not in use.
  • Residential Use Only: Remember that a biofire is intended for domestic/residential interiors. When used outside, the effect of the heat will be considerably reduced, and should instead be thought of as a pleasant aesthetic addition, rather than a main heat source.
  • Ventilation: Outdoor spaces generally have natural ventilation, but ensure proper airflow around the fireplace for safe combustion and to prevent the accumulation of fumes.
  • Safe Placement: Select a stable and level surface for placing the bioethanol fireplace. Keep it away from flammable materials, overhanging structures, or low-hanging branches.

  Remember to always follow the manufacturer's instructions for safe installation and use of the outdoor bioethanol fireplace in your spaces. Enjoy the warmth and ambiance it brings to your gatherings or outdoor relaxation areas.
