http://www.a-fire.com/Home.aspx There are still products which look like more mess tins which we fill with ethanol, that in electronic bio ethanol fireplaces remote controlled. These old products are dangerous. But the market tends to stabilize with the arrival of new electric bio ethanol fireplaces remote controlled and completely managed by electronics.
At first the electronic fireplaces ignite with a remote control or by pressing on a button of putting on, returning the ignition and the really easy extinction and without danger (through electrodes incorporated into the burner).
On the other hand the detectors of multiple safeties ((CO ², heat, blocking of the trapdoor of filling during the functioning etc.) definitively create the necessary conditions of a use without risk of electronic ethanol fireplaces.
The beauty of a real fire which we can install without constraint in about any place (refer in the conditions of use) because it does not require a duct indeed has of what to seduce. No smoke, no ash, no dust, no smell.
