The majority of ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted have the necessary hardware to install them as a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. It takes an experienced professional around an hour to install the brackets, extensions, and find the studs.
There is also the option of manual or automated bioethanol burners. A burner that is automated will keep the fuel away from the flames, ensuring it will burn longer without running out or overheating. Manual burners work in the same way as an old-fashioned fireplace, but you'll need to use matches or lighters to ignite the flames.
It's important to remember that when choosing a bio ethanol burner, the burner should be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the fire could become too hot and damage the fireplace.
Ethanol fireplaces are a great alternative for those who want to create a dramatic feature in their home, but don't have the money or time to build gas or wood fireplaces. They are perfect for renovations and new homes in which chimney breasts were removed. They don't create soot or ash, so there's no maintenance issues.

Every type of fireplace has the same benefits, regardless of design and ambiance without harmful fumes or smoke.
Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around a space to meet your requirements. Wall-mounted models are attached to the walls and may require specialized mounting gear. They also must comply with certain clearance distances from flammable materials.

When you've finished using your bio-ethanol fireplace, it's important to let the flames completely burn out and to wait until the fire has cooled before refueling. If you don't do this, the ethanol may evaporate and you will have to start again.
The majority of manufacturers advise that you leave at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire so that you have plenty of time to properly remove the flames, and make sure that all flammable substances are removed from the fire. Additionally, it is recommended to store any remaining fuel with ethanol out of reach of children and pets to prevent any accidents from occurring.
