Ethanol fireplaces function by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it creates a flame and heat that can be controlled with the slider (not all designs feature this). By altering how much oxygen is pumped into the fire, you can change how quickly the fuel is burned and the intensity of the flame.
