We have done the research for you and we have found the safest, and most economical fuel for your use in ethanol fireplaces. We recommend you use the brands we have available on our website for sale, however if you choose to purchase another brand, it MUST be made for ventless bio-ethanol fireplaces and you MUST be sure to read all instructions and warnings on any fuel you decide to use as well as the fireplace instructions and warnings. Make sure when purchase fuel you see the chart above to purchase the correct kinds of fuel.

For the Benevento and Catania indoor/outdoor fireplace, only gel fuel cans maybe used. These Gel Fuel will only work for the Fireplace Benevento and Catania model. All other models need to use Liquid Bio-Ethanol Fuel. The Gel Fuel burns into vapor water, free of smoke, fumes, sparks and flying embers. The real flame will create approximately a 7″ flame with all the crackling sounds of real wood burning in just minutes of lighting while giving off a good amount of heat. Each canister will last approx 2-2.5 hours. Before purchasing, be sure to read your fireplace instructions for safety and usage.

  15-20 minutes (cool to the touch) before refilling.
• Store SMARTFUEL™ in a cool place, away from direct sunlight or heat source.

• Failure to follow safety instructions may lead to serious injury or death.

While the flame provided by burning the fuel is highly decorative and beautiful, it also is efficient in providing heat however it cannot be recommended or considered as a main heat source.

• Due to the ventless nature of the fireplaces themselves; no heat is lost up the flu or vent. Depending upon the size of the fireplace, the fire can provide up to 8,500 BTU/hour of heating energy. This is enough energy to heat approximately 375 sq ft of living space.
• One quart of fuel will burn up to 5 hours dependent upon the fireplace size and adjustment of the opening of the lid over the flame
• Each bottle will produce 21,000 BTU, so depending on how you adjust the damper on your burner you can adjust burn time and heat output.
