EcoSmart Fire XL500 Ethanol Burner

Overall Dimensions: 19.7 in L x 7.7 in W x 4.4 in D (500 x 195 x 112 mm, per current listing)

The EcoSmart Fire XL500 is the compact member of EcoSmart's XL family of linear bioethanol burners, built from grade 304 stainless steel for custom fireplaces, cabinetry, media walls, stone benches and pillars, indoors or out. It burns e-NRG bioethanol with an orange flame and no smoke, soot or ash, so it needs no gas line, flue or electrical connection. A flip-lid shut-off, a separate filling point and baffle inserts that regulate the flame make it simple to run, and it can stand alone in a bespoke setting or sit in a zero-clearance EcoSmart Flex insert.

Installation Notes

Build the housing to the cut-out dimensions and keep the firebox and clearance minimums above, checking the physical burner against the cut-out before work begins. Use it only in a well-ventilated room of at least 2,825 cu ft protected from cross drafts, and let the burner cool for 60 minutes before refueling. If a custom design is planned, EcoSmart asks that drawings be checked against its safety requirements. Book a free design consultation and we will help you design the housing.
