Fores/Heads munching toe warmer

[bt1]

Howdy,

Bought a ethanol fireplace that arrived this week. It does a 5m x 10m room to toasty and used about 1.5lt per 4 hours of stored heads and fores. looks ok too.

So start storing those fores and early heads!

Nice one bt1.guess it will work on metho too.
Probablycheaper to run than an electric heaer.

Does it have ventilation issues like indoor gas heaters.

Looks the goods bt,

Another clever way to make use of by-products.

At what abv do you use to fuel it?

Also how do you reckon it would go outside under cover?

Just been having a look at these bio ethanol fire places and I like a lot bit of a pyro head myself think I might get one
and cheap to run. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I use one of these, the burner opening is about 130 mm. I get some heat off it but not enough to heat a room. Its awesome watching the flame though.

Yeah sort of figured that would be the case, but I love watching fire :D

I don't have the artic breezes flowing through and keep the lounge closed off a bit but it will do a room no probs.

Outdoor = can't see it working that well if it's breezy. They have no radiant heat.

Only asking because I've got a bit of time and some copper and ..... you get the idea. :-B :-B

Where is the all important pic I want to see some fire. :teasing-tease:

[C2H6O]

Ha ha mate, I'll have to leave that up to bt1.
I'm a bit embarrassed to say but i have ran out of foreshots, just haven't found the time lately to do a run :crying-blue: I've had 60L TPW clearing for about 2 months now, but the missus thinks hanging a door on the bathroom before her parents come to visit is a priority :teasing-blah: :teasing-blah: .

I Love fire so much I had to get one couldn't resist $110 :happy-partydance:

Wouldn't think you will get that much yellow flame with pure fores/heads :think:

My thought's to sam every time I spark it up it is blue or barley visible. :-B

[dogbreath vodka]

So the ?? wool is there to stop it going VOOOMP. I guess.

Wonder what they made that out of. :think:

Thanks for the pics mate. :handgestures-thumbupleft: :handgestures-thumbupleft: :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Probably asbestos :laughing-rolling:

Wonder if you dilute it a bit it would give a bit more yellow in the flame?

[bt1]

Mine does not have that wool stuff. Odd must check with vendor.

They start off blue flame like metho then as it warms turn yellow.

I put it down to bloody rum fores and heads cos there's no way a Irish or Rye lot could not be pure :D

Guys I only found out about these heaters the other week while watching the Box and a good point came up NEVER try and refill the heater when it's hot as it will become a bomb and spray the contents in flames causing major trauma and even burning down the roof over ya head.
