One of the most frequently asked questions is whether a bioethanol fireplace produces soot. The short explanation is that a correctly constructed bioethanol fireplace does not produce soot when using pure bioethanol. If soot appears, there is almost always an explanation.
Why bioethanol fireplaces usually don't produce soot
Bioethanol burns cleanly. When combustion is optimal, bioethanol turns into water vapor and a small amount of carbon dioxide. No smoke and no soot. Therefore, bioethanol fireplaces can be used without a chimney or flue.
Causes of soot
Soot can occur if
-
