How to Remove an Electric Fireplace?
Wondering how to remove your electric fireplace and bring back the joy of the cosy flames of a fire by turning it into a bioethanol fireplace? You've come to the right place.
We receive many inquiries from our customers who wish to transform their old fireplace into a more eco-friendly alternative; a bioethanol fire. It might seem a bit daunting at first, but we assure you, the process is very simple.
Older fireplaces and wood burning stoves often have a beautiful and unique look you might like to maintain; turning it into a bioethanol fire is really just about decorating it on the inside.
Therefore, do not start removing the bricks of your old fireplace or detacht the flue, but instead keep the stove's charm and keep it intact. The only thing to do beforehand, is to clean the base of the fireplace, and then you are ready to add the new bio fireplace insert. For this, we have this kit with everything you need to convert your old fireplace into a bioethanol fireplace: Bioethanol Fireplace Conversion Kit.
If your stove has front glass, it can be advantageous to remove this, to increase the heat output from the bioethanol insert. However, this is not necessary, as long as there is a flow of oxygen to the burner, as bio ethanol fuel needs oxygen to burn.
Should you need a bioethanol burner that is bigger than the one included in the conversion kit, we can always help create a kit for you, just contact our customer service. You can also find all our burners here:

How to Install the Bioethanol Burner:
1. Place your new burner at the bottom of your fireplace or existing fireplace grate or basket. You will then get some nice flames by igniting the bio ethanol fuel, which is filled in the burner. The size of the burner is up to you and depends on how big your fireplace is.
2. The bioethanol fuel replaces the wood as the new fuel for your fireplace. You can check out this guide, to see how the bioethanol is filled into the burner. After the bioethanol is filled directly into the burner, your new bio fireplace is ready for usage. There are many benefits to burning bioethanol vs burning wood, as it burns clean and does not cause any odour or smell.
