It is then distilled and filtered before being packaged to be used.

When the fuel is burned, it vaporizes and creates an imitation flame that resembles the heat generated by real wood or gas fireplaces. This flame is extremely efficient and produces enough heat to heat an average home.

In contrast to a gas-fire, a bio ethanol fire is able to be switched on and off at the flick of a button, and can be easily refillable with a bottle fuel.
