If you’re thinking about getting a new fire put in this winter, you might be put off by costly installation fees, or complications associated with getting the likes of a gas fire connected.

While log burners look fabulous, they can also require a fair bit of costly logistical planning to get up and running.

However, one of the really simple alternatives that shoppers are turning to ahead of the colder months is bioethanol fires - and there’s a brilliant saving to be had at Debenhams at the minute. Their 35 Inch Bio Ethanol Fireplace currently has a whopping £216 (64%) off taking the price down to £122.77. 

If you aren’t familiar with them and how they work, Imaginfires explains: “A bioethanol fire is a cleaner, safer, more eco-friendly way to enjoy a real fire in the home. The fuel doesn’t emit smoke or fumes, so you don’t need a chimney. 

“Bioethanol fireplaces are simple to set up - just unpack it, fill it with bioethanol fuel, and enjoy a real flame within minutes. Or consider a wall-mounted bioethanol fireplace - it will only take an hour or so to fit.”

Debenhams’ offering comes in a slick black colour and features a cosy flame effect, which helps to create a nice autumn vibe. It’s simple to operate, all users have to do is fill it with ethanol and then light it.

This particular product is wall mounted, though freestanding versions are also available on Amazon like the HOMCOM Free Standing Ethanol Fireplace, priced at £99.99 on Amazon. There’s only been one review left to date, with that shopper writing: “Absolutely gorgeous fire. Looks cosy plus good heat throw.”

It is worth noting that some people who have tried out bioethanol fires say they aren’t fond of the smell, while others say they don’t throw off as much heat as traditional log burners, so that’s worth considering before you buy. 

If you’re wondering how much bioethanol costs, it can be picked up in bulk from the likes of Amazon where 12 litres costs £32.99 - £2.91 per litre. Generally, one litre of bioethanol will typically burn for three and a half to four hours.
