Bio ethanol fuel fires to buy or not to buy!

Other

Hi, with gas and electric prices being crazy I wondered if anyone else had contemplated or got a bio-fuel fire at home. I'm contemplating getting one and wondered if anyone else had moved to bio-fuel and wondered what people's positive and negative experiences of them were.

I know they are (allegedly) better for the environment but are they as warm as a standard gas or electric fire? Which brand is best and is the fuel refill cost effective in the long term?

Sounds amazing. I think the biggest problem that most of the system is set in the flats, so I can not really change...

Bio-fuel fires look so modern and I like that you can move them about without wires or anything. It's cheaper than fitting a log burner by about £1800.00. I'm seriously thinking about going to bio-fuel as I'm sick of gas and electricity price hikes.

I've given in and bought one (after saving up for a bit). It looks really modern and hopefully the cost of heating will go down. My current gas/ electric heating prices are well over 100 a month.

It's free standing and doesn't require any installation fee. It just gets filled with fuel. Which I've found for 5L at £6.00 and apparently lasts 3 months (average)

I'll probably end up burning my eyebrows off but I'm going to see if this is any good.

I'll put up a review of it when it gets here. So other people know what to expect. Image

It Is cheaper than gas and electric and it does have an inoffensive smell. I love it! The refills are cheap in bulk and I can store them in the garage. I'd be worried about kids or pets but that's the same with any heat source. I'm very happy with it. Looks modern too. 🙂 packs out a good amount of heat. Only downside is can't be refilled hot so gotta wait for it to cool before refilling with liquid.
