Bioethanol is a renewable plant-based alcohol fuel that is made by distilling plants with high sugar and fibre content. To be considered bioethanol, the product must have an alcohol percentage of 96%.
The use of quality bioethanol with a 96% alcohol percentage guarantees a high degree of purity. Using fuels with a lower percentage and of lesser quality can produce a smell due to the higher amount of non-alcoholic components. If you can smell something when opening the fuel bottle, that is a clear sign that burning it will produce more smells that other higher quality fuels.
The burner and its design quality will also be a factor in this regard. The flame in these fireplaces comes from burning the vapour given off by the bioethanol. Burning bioethanol directly will produce a stronger smell.
Lacunza burners contain a pressed ceramic fibre that is soaked in the alcohol. This evaporates and is ignited once it leaves the burner. It is therefore important to fill the burner with bioethanol without the liquid evaporating. All Lacunza units come as standard with an electric pump and hose to make this process easier for the user.
The combustion of bioethanol produces harmless steam and CO2 (the same gas we produce when breathing). They are 100% safe for your health.
No. Bioethanol burners do not require any kind of gas/smoke outlet because they do not give off any harmful gas. Neither do they require this kind of installation to operate.
The answer to this question will vary depending on the size of the burner. However, on average, they will use approximately 3/4 of a litre per hour.
An 80 cm burner can hold 4.5 litres, which means the fire will last approximately 7 hours. The burner vent can be closed to extinguish the fire but two issues need to be considered when doing so:
Of course, the fire is real so it gives off heat in the room where it is installed. They are not designed as a main source of heat but rather as a decorative item with real fire that provides warmth in a room.
Bioethanol fireplaces are exposed and have real fire. Do not get flammable material close to the flame. Do not add more bioethanol while the flame is lit or when the burner is hot. Take care not to put your hands in the fire or on parts of the fireplace when it is or has been alight because they can reach high temperatures.

The square metres heated by the wood burning stove, cook stove or fireplace.
The cubic metres heated by the wood burning stove, cook stove or fireplace.
Minimum and maximum power of the wood burning appliance or the variance in power obtained from conditions of slow and maximum combustion.
This refers to some materials’ property of being resistant to high temperatures without decomposing or storing heat.
It is the part of a wood burning appliance through which the fumes are expelled.
A material with a high capacity for storage and thermal transmission, besides its insulating properties. It is resistant to high temperatures and is an excellent heat accumulator. Great white finish.
A novel material with excellent insulation, high strength, aesthetics and lightness. In addition, LACUNZA vermiculite uses the appropriate density, thickness and dimension for each device. This customised design for each project allows for longer lasting fires, avoiding any type of problem. It is essentially a material composed of aluminium magnesium and iron silicate.
