The burner is key to the success and efficiency of a bio-ethanol flame. It is designed to burn ethyl alcohol or biofuel efficiently. This liquid fuel is derived from plant byproducts and crops such as corn, sugarcane rapeseed, potatoes and, more recently, fruit such as grapes, pomegranates and bananas. It's then distilled and filtered before being packaged to be used.

As the fuel burns, it vaporises and creates an artificial flame that mimics the heat produced by gas or wood fire. The flame is extremely efficient and produces enough heat to heat an average home.
