What is an Ethanol Fire Pit?
An ethanol fire pit is a modern alternative to traditional wood-burning or gas fire pits. It utilizes bioethanol fuel, a renewable energy source derived from plant materials, such as corn and sugarcane. Ethanol fire pits produce real flames and heat, making them an appealing option for both indoor and outdoor use. They offer all the joys of a fire without the hassle of smoke, soot, or dangerous flue emissions.
