Our DIY Bioethanol Insert for Electric Fireplaces gives you more flexibility and is without doubt the perfect solution for replacing your old standard electric fireplace or a redundant gas fire opening. You can now easily and quickly create your dream fireplace with a mantelpiece of your choice.
Also, we specially designed the DIY Bioethanol Insert to fit our LEXHAM Bioethanol Mini Basket Fire Insert. It holds a Mini burner of a 750 ml capacity and includes a special set with the 18 pieces Coal Set.
Additionally, the spacer (frame), which is included, brings the unit forward to compensate for less depth at the back (if needed). At the same time, the double thickness and the heat shield at the back provide a durable heat protection for your wall as our unique venting system pushes the heat out quickly into the room.
Moreover, the lid includes Fragrance Diffusers, making the fireplace compatible with our Aura Oils. By sliding the lid across slightly, you can regulate the size of flame, therefore the heat output (2-2.5 kW) and the burning time (2.5-4 hrs).
This unit is suitable for DIY electric fire conversion; however, it produces a real flame so regular fire regulations for building fireplaces will apply.
In the box of the DIY Bioethanol Insert:
- Black fire Insert with heat shield
- Mini Bio Grate with stainless steel Mini Burner
- Engraved sliding lid featuring Fragrance Diffusers for Aura Oils
- Black steel spacer (frame)
- Control/extinguishing tool
- Mini Coal Set
- Funnel
- User Instructions
NOTE: Every mantelpiece is different! For example, an electric fireplace made of wood or MDF needs a replacement or a lining of the back panel. Therefore, please make sure to use a non-flammable material to do this. We recommend using Vermiculite Board for this purpose.

This fire is amazing. A great alternative to to log burner, which we had considered, so easy to use & gives out just tge right amount of heat.
Customer service was excellent too, we were called to ask the delivery date was suitable & although we had a small item missing, it was sent immediately by 1st class post & arrived the following day.
Would definitely recommend both the fire & Biofires. com.
This fire absolutely lifts the whole room giving it and elegant and classy feel. It’s the perfect replacement for electric fires that just don’t have the same interest or create the same ambience that this fire does. I would honestly give this more stars if I could. Biofires were brilliant in every aspect of the purchase, communication and arranging delivery, I would 100% buy from them again.
This fire is great I removed my old fire and the bio fire just slotted into the same opening. It gives a fantastic flame and it warms the room lovely. The flame is adjustable and I've had last over 6 hours on the lowest setting from a full reservoir (750ml) and would recommend biofires
I purchased the electric fire insert to place in to an old small fire place in a 1950s house, I didn't want a real fire due to the mess and an electric fire just wouldn't cut it, so this was a great alternative. It was very well packed, delivered quickly and easily installed. The spacer allows the fire to fit perfectly into any gap, however we decided we didn't need it and after a little adjustment to the bricks, the fire fitted well without it. It is a very well made product and very good value for money as it also includes the coal which is more than enough to make it look like a real fire, the funnel which is a must to use when filling and of course the burner with the fragrance diffuser. The burner is easy to light, I purchased separately a long piezo lighter which is much safer than a match, when the oil is cold it does take a couple of times to light, hence the lighter. The slider on the burner works well in reducing the heat and extinguishes the fire. Overall I am very pleased with the product and would recommend.
