It is there that combustion and burning of fuel take place. The ecological fireplace also has a system that controls the height of the flame and the intensity of the fire, regulating it according to your needs.
The ecological fireplacecan remain lit for up to 20 hours straight, always maintaining a beautiful and uniform flame, precisely because of the alcohol used for its operation.
