The liquid fuel is then distilled, filtered and packaged.

As the fuel burns it vaporises and creates an artificial flame that resembles the heat generated by gas or wood fire. This flame is extremely efficient and can provide enough heat to heat the average home.

In comparison to a gas flame bio ethanol fire is able to be switched on and off with the flick of a switch, as well as being easily recharged with a bottle of fuel.
