On average, you can expect 3 to 4 hours of burn time, with Xaralyn's ceramic burner offering a more efficient and safer option compared to standard burners. By choosing high-quality bioethanol and using your fireplace mindfully, you can maximize the performance of every liter of fuel. A bio-ethanol fireplace not only provides cozy warmth but is also a sustainable and stylish choice for any interior.

How long can you burn 1 liter of ethanol in a bioethanol fireplace?

Bioethanol fireplaces are popular because of their stylish appearance, environmentally friendly properties and ease of use. One of the most frequently asked questions by consumers is how long a bioethanol fireplace can burn on one liter of fuel. The answer to this varies and depends on several factors, such as the type of fireplace, the size of the burner, and the room in which the fireplace is located.


What determines the burn time of 1 liter of bioethanol?

The burn time of 1 liter of bioethanol depends on several factors. First, the size of the burner plays a significant role. Larger burners consume more fuel per hour as they provide a greater surface area for the flame to develop. Smaller burners are generally more economical and can offer longer burn times with the same amount of fuel. ​


Environmental factors, such as ventilation and air circulation in the room, also have an impact. In a well-ventilated room with ample airflow, the burner may burn faster as oxygen enhances the combustion process. Conversely, in a closed space with little draft, the consumption may slow down. However, adequate ventilation is essential to maintain air quality.

How pure is bioethanol?

Achieving 100% pure bio-ethanol is impossible because the natural balance between ethanol and water stabilizes at 96% ethanol and 4% water. At higher concentrations, the liquid absorbs water from the air until equilibrium is restored. This makes water content a key quality factor. Once opened, containers of bioethanol lose quality over time. Low-quality bio-ethanol can also make a difference; some brands produce less pure ethanol, resulting in shorter burn times.


In practice, the purest bioethanol available is 97%, though this is rarely achieved. Most alcohol percentages range from 95% to 97%. Xaralyn’s CL100 bioethanol, made from plant waste like corn, is an excellent example. People with an acute sense of smell might detect a subtle sweet aroma, but compared to burning wood, this bio-ethanol is virtually odorless.


The difference between standard burners and Xaralyn’s ceramic burner

A crucial aspect that affects the efficiency and burn time of a bioethanol fireplace is the type of burner used. Many standard burners on the market use an open reservoir where bioethanol is burned directly. This can lead to faster fuel consumption and an increased risk of accidents, such as spills or overheating. 


Xaralyn’s ceramic burner stands out with its patented ceramic stone that absorbs the bioethanol. This ensures the fuel is safely stored within the stone and evaporates evenly, resulting in a more consistent flame and efficient consumption. Additionally, this design enhances safety by eliminating free liquid in the burner, reducing the risk of flammable situations. The ceramic burner is thus a durable choice that also extends burn time.

Why choose a bioethanol fireplace?

Beyond the burn time of bio-ethanol, there are many reasons to opt for a bio-ethanol fireplace. These fireplaces don’t require a chimney or gas connection, making them suitable for nearly any space. They are also more environmentally friendly than traditional wood stoves, as bio-ethanol is a renewable fuel that produces little to no smoke or harmful emissions. This makes bio-ethanol fireplaces not only a stylish addition to your interior but also a conscious choice for a sustainable future.
