DIY easy Ethanol Fireplace heater

How often do you have to change/re-new the ceramic wool?

[@Johny40Se7en]

Ceramic Wool seems like such a wonder material, both for insulation and fire lighting. Similar in properties as Carbon / graphite matting. Cheers.

Cheers

Where does one get _ceramic wool?_ BTW, thank you cayrex2 for posting this info 👍; this may help some people keep warm this winter.

[@cayrex]

Hi! Uf, you can find this ceramic wool in places where have the stuff for making fireplaces. Also amazon have it,.... search for ceramic fiber blanket.

[@cats-hair-on-a-table]

will glass wool be suitable?

[@cayrex]

@@cats-hair-on-a-table Yes of course

[@tomhowe1510]

It's called cera blanket. A local mechanical pipe insulator will have some. It replaced Aspestos in heating.

you could also use perlite

[@cayrex]

Yes 👍

How long does it burns before you have to refill the container with ethanol?🤔

[@cayrex]

A bit less that 2 hours. 1l of ethanol is for 4 to 8 hours,.... depending on what will be the size of the burning hole.

[@Schanzigi]

Reci mi koje je vrijeme gorenja?? I Koliko tecnosti upije se u vunu i limenku?

[@cayrex]

Vrijeme gorenja,... nimam pojma, sve skupaj je gorjelo 4 sata i još se osjeti alkohol. Limenka je 500 ml

[@anio6865]

I wonder if the flame will last longer with the ceramic wool or the carbon felt ? Does anyone know ?

[@flash301]

Good for emergencies but not to save money over £5 for 1 ltr depending how much you buy in one go... For 2-4hrs... For 3hrs with my central heating is about £1.74

[@mediapark101]

How long does it burn before you need to refill with ethanol?

[@thegeordieweatherman8460]

It depends on how big you want your flame. A large flame, from a big surface area will burn the fuel really fast. I make mine from 28mm copper pipe. For decorative purposes, I only cut out 15mm down the centre. For heat, a little bit more. I get my copper free from ex colleagues. That's only why I use it.

[@GEOsustainable]

What kind of wool? A term I have never heard. Ceramic?

[@cayrex]

Yes ceramic wool. It is one of third common used insulation. www.amazon.com/ceramic-fiber-blanket/s?k=ceramic+fiber+blanket

Ceramic wool Amazon has it

[@BrentTheGent1]

Very simple and i would think effective. I have made a few of my own thought, but i will be making sure i have this for emergency.

[@cayrex]

Cool. I also have 2x 500ml and 1x 1000ml ready if I will need in the future. Look at my safety video with that heater.

[@don.richard8823]

Great for emergency back up... How often would I have to replace ceramic wool ?

[@cayrex]

It will last for really good amount of time.

[@grh7961]

Can you use indoors ie are the fumes safe ?

[@BrentTheGent1]

The Ethanol is fine to burn indoors but make sure to use the same type of Ceramic Wool if making this type as if you were to use " oasis " plant blocks the design of burner is a little more complicated.

[@iliasanisis7799]

A question please if I use alcohol instead of etanol, I will have the same results and safety.? THANKS FOR ALL

[@cayrex]

Yes

[@brankonovak9898]

SO so Creative!!!!! BRAVO! This white wool, what is this material?

[@cayrex]

Hi! It is a ceramic fiber wool

[@shoptastik2250]

I'm wondering does the can ever get hot to touch? Is it dangerous to set on a table?

[@cayrex]

On the botton, not so much after around 3 hours of burning

[@cayrex]

But you can try by yourself. Put some plastic bag to the table or floor and on the plastic ad that fireburner and after several hours check is is plastic melted.

[@GEOsustainable]

@@cayrex Yikes, that is a very dangerous way to check. It almost sounds like put plastic down and in a few hours if your house is still there, it did not get too hot.

[@missreynolds3637]

From my research they're clean burning fuel. You can burn inside but I'd set on a paver stone on a table away from kids and pets. Ventilate the area just the same, as well as a carbon monoxide detector just in case. They're shown on YT as bio fuel fireplaces or diy bio fuel fireplaces. Never refill with fluid when hot though accident waiting to happen. Always snuff out (deprive flame of oxygen) to put out flame. Let cool completely before adding more fuel.

[@hellohellohello-b1j]

Burning time? And how long with 0.5liter ethanol?

[@cayrex]

1 liter of ethanol will burn from 2 to 4 hours.

[@neginpourvar9879]

What is it you call the wool? 😊

Home Depot sells it in flat form or in clump form like he used as well as empty paint cans.

Just cram a toilet paper roll in the can without the inside cardboard. Works just as well

[@cayrex]

Of course it will work

[@William_Hada]

Nice! I'm guessing that you can also use methanol also for fuel?

[@cayrex]

Yes,.... but ethanol more common to use in fireplace

[@GEOsustainable]

There is a huge difference between the 2 alcohols. Stick with Ethanol as it does not need venting. Methanol is far too volatile for this application.

[@cayrex]

For sure,.... but he ask if can he use methanol als fuel,.... so yes, he can.

@@cayrex outside not inside.

[@dziczek78]

Do not use in closed rooms because it produces a very unpleasant odor when burned
