From a scientific point of view, why should you choose an alcohol fireplace?

What is biomass ethanol fuel for alcohol fireplaces?
This plant-derived fuel is made by fermenting sugar refining from corn, potatoes and cellulose and is considered a "clean fuel." It does not contain dangerous chemicals, and in some cases it is made from forestry by-products such as wood pulp and sawdust.
By burning cleanly and efficiently, the biomass ethanol fuel for alcohol fireplaces produces only small amounts of carbon dioxide and water as by-products.
Are Alcohol Fireplaces Safe?
Alcohol fireplaces are safe when used correctly. Its fuel biomass ethanol is flammable. The way you refuel it by pouring it into the fireplace can cause a spill. If this happens, the spilled material may present an unexpected safety hazard.
Flames generated by alcohol fireplaces consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide. This is perfectly acceptable for most rooms. But don't put an alcohol fireplace with a high BTU index in a small space as it may generate too much carbon dioxide to be safe.
The biomass ethanol fuel of an alcohol fireplace itself produces a steady flame without sparks or smoke, ash. Be sure to follow all instructions on the alcohol fireplace itself, adding fuel, and extinguishing the flame to avoid potential burns or other hazards.
Five advantages of using an alcohol fireplace:
1. No chimney required, low installation cost
Traditional fireplaces, even gas fireplaces, require a chimney to emit smoke. Alcohol fireplaces do not produce smoke and therefore do not require a chimney, which means it is extremely inexpensive to install.
2. The real fire of alcohol fireplace has high efficiency and high calorific value
Alcohol fireplaces have high calorific value and excellent heating efficiency. The commonly used alcohol fireplace models can effectively heat a space of 55 square meters and become a main heat source, which emits more heat and brighter real fire than electric fireplaces.
3. Combustion does not produce flue gas, waste gas, soot
One of the main reasons why more and more owners and designers like to use alcohol fireplaces is that during the combustion process, no smoke, waste gas, soot, etc. will be produced, and the tempered furnace body and frosted plane of alcohol fireplaces are matched for viewing. Fire-resistant high-temperature glass is undoubtedly an eye-catching element in indoor and outdoor design.
4. Alcohol fireplace maintenance rate is low and cost-effective
Traditional real fire fireplaces need to be inspected and cleaned before and after use, while alcohol fireplaces do not. Even after many years of use, there will be no discoloration and corrosion that exist in other fireplaces, because the fuel it uses Substance ethanol is a clean and efficient fuel, a small amount of water and carbon dioxide are the only by-products of burning biomass ethanol, and the overall cost-effective and extremely low maintenance rate and excellent environmental eco-friendliness.
