Frequently asked questions
Can the Pod 30 be used indoors?
Yes. Bioethanol burns cleanly with no smoke, soot or ash, so the Pod 30 runs flueless indoors or outdoors. Indoor use needs a room of at least 116 m³ with the Indoor Safety Tray and AB8 Efficiency Ring fitted (EN 16647). No gas line or chimney required.
How much space does the Pod 30 heat?
The AB8 burner produces 6 kW (21.56 MJ/h) and warms about 60 m². It's a supplemental heat source and focal point, not a primary heater for a whole room.
How long does one fill of fuel last?
The AB8 holds 8 litres of e-NRG bioethanol. Full flame: 7 to 9 hours. Lower setting: up to 11 hours.
What does the Pod 30 cost to run per hour?
At full flame the AB8 uses about 1.1 L per hour. With e-NRG at $6.00 to $6.60 per litre delivered, that's around $7 per hour on full flame, $4 to $5 per hour on low.
Does the Pod 30 need professional installation or a gas connection?
No. The Pod 30 is freestanding with no gas, plumbing or electrical connection. Level it on the 360° articulating feet, fill the AB8 burner, light it. Reposition anytime. Outdoors: 2,000 mm clearance above, 600 mm from fixed objects, on a level non combustible base.
What is the difference between the Pod 30 and the Pod 40?
Same AB8 burner, so heat, fuel use and burn time match. Pod 30: 762 mm across, 351 mm high, 38 kg. Pod 40: 1,000 mm across, 504 mm high, 50.3 kg, with more presence for larger patios and terraces.
What is Fluid Concrete?
Fluid Concrete is EcoSmart's cast composite: green cement with 95% recycled natural materials. It absorbs CO2 during curing (carbon negative) and is 100% recyclable at end of life. Resists scratches, staining, mould and mildew, and stays lighter than solid concrete.
Does it come with fuel?
No. e-NRG bioethanol is sold separately, in 20 L cartons (four 5 L bottles). Add a carton to your order and we ship it with the pit. Delivery is free on all EcoSmart orders Australia wide.
