Ethanol or bioethanol: why there is no smoke
Ethanol and bioethanol fire pits are the same thing. The fuel is a plant-based ethanol, so the words are used interchangeably. EcoSmart burners run on e-NRG, the fuel EcoSmart formulate and test for them. It burns as a clean flame, which EcoSmart describe as smokeless, with no soot or ash to sweep out. That is why a bioethanol pit can sit where a wood fire would smoke out the neighbours. If you are weighing it against wood, our smokeless fire pit guide sets out the trade-offs honestly.
Running cost and burn time
Fuel is the running cost. At current e-NRG prices of $6.30 to $6.88 a litre delivered, the Mix 600 and Stix (AB3 burner, 0.31 L an hour at full flame) cost about $2 an hour. The Mix 850, Pod 30 and Pod 40 (AB8 burner, 1.1 L an hour) cost about $7 to $7.60 an hour. An AB3 holds 2.5 L and runs 8 to 11 hours; an AB8 holds 8 L and runs 7 to 9 hours. See e-NRG bioethanol fuel for carton pricing.

Frequently asked questions
Tap a question to read the answer.
Are bioethanol fire pits worth it?
Yes, for the right job. A bioethanol fire pit gives a real flame with no smoke, flue or gas line, so it works in a courtyard or on a terrace where a built-in fireplace is not practical. Treat it as a focal point and zone warmth for the people around it, not as heating for a whole yard.
Is an ethanol fire pit the same as a bioethanol fire pit?
Yes. Both names describe a fire pit that burns liquid ethanol made from plants. EcoSmart call their fuel bioethanol; many buyers search for ethanol fire pits. Every model on this page is the same kind of burner in a concrete or stainless surround.
Are ethanol fire pits legal in Australia?
They are sold and used across Australia, but rules on open flames differ by state and council. A total fire ban can apply to any open flame. Check with your local council or fire authority before lighting one on a ban day. Our guide to fire pit rules by state links each authority.
Are bioethanol fire pits safe?
Yes, when set up and refuelled to EcoSmart's instructions. Place the pit on a level, stable base with the clearances in its installation manual. Never refuel while the burner is lit or hot: put the flame out, let it cool for at least 60 minutes, then refill with the supplied safety spout.
How long does a fill last?
The Mix 600 and Stix hold 2.5 L and run about 8 to 11 hours. The Mix 850, Pod 30 and Pod 40 hold 8 L and run about 7 to 9 hours. EcoSmart give these as full-tank figures; wind and conditions shorten them.
Can you use a bioethanol fire pit indoors?
Only the Pod 30 and Pod 40 are rated by EcoSmart for indoor use. Both need the Indoor Safety Tray and the AB8 Efficiency Ring fitted, in a room of at least 116 m³. The Mix 600 and Mix 850 are outdoor models.
Can I use one on a timber deck or near a pool?
EcoSmart show these pits on pool decks and patios. Follow the model's installation manual for the base and clearances. For composite boards, read our guide to fire pits on composite decks first.
What fuel do they use?
e-NRG bioethanol, which EcoSmart formulate and test for their burners. We do not recommend substitutes such as methylated spirits, gel fuel or untested bioethanol in these burners.
What are the disadvantages of an ethanol fire pit?
There are three worth knowing before you buy. It is not primary heating: expect warmth across about 20 m² on the small models and 60 m² on the large ones. The fuel is the running cost, about $2 an hour on the Mix 600 and Stix and about $7 on the others. You also cannot top up a hot burner, so plan the evening around a full tank.
