Description

Available Sizes:

18″, AB8 burner, 8 L (Current Size)30″, XL500 burner, 5 L36″, XL700 burner, 7 L

Graphite Grate Series ethanol fireplaces use different burner models by size: Grate 18 has a round AB8 burner; Grate 30 and 36 have linear XL500 and XL700 burners. Heat output, burn time, minimum room volume and fireplace opening requirements differ; compare the specifications before choosing.

Overall Dimensions: 18 x 16 x 7.9 in (L x W x H), per the EcoSmart specification

The EcoSmart Fire Grate 18 turns a small, disused wood-burning fireplace into a clean-burning bioethanol fire in minutes. A graphite Fluid Concrete grate holds an 8 litre AB8 burner, so there is no smoke, soot or ash to deal with, no gas line and no electricity, and you can run it with or without a working chimney.

Features

  • AB8 burner with an 8 litre (2.1 gal) fuel capacity in stainless steel or black ceramic coating
  • Up to 20,433 BTU/h, or 12,860 BTU/h with the included AB8 efficiency ring fitted
  • Burn time of 7 to 9 hours per fill, or 9 to 11 hours with the efficiency ring
  • Graphite Fluid Concrete grate that resists stains, impact and weathering
  • Smallest footprint in the EcoSmart Grate Series, for smaller traditional fireplaces
  • Fixing brackets included to locate the grate permanently

Installation Notes

Install the grate on a level, non-combustible platform. If the fireplace had a gas line, it must be disconnected and made safe by a licensed professional before installation. EcoSmart recommends closing the damper or blocking the chimney with a metal plate to keep heat in the room, and the room must be at least 4,096 cu ft per burner with good ventilation and no strong drafts.

Use e-NRG bioethanol only, never refuel a burner that is lit or still hot, and keep the flame at least 59.1 in from curtains and other flammables.

Ethanol burners need no chimney, gas line or electricity, but they are open-flame appliances: many New York City co-op and condo boards restrict them, and fuel storage in multifamily buildings is limited, so confirm your building rules before you order.

Do I need a working chimney?

No. Bioethanol produces no smoke, so the grate works with or without an operational chimney; EcoSmart recommends closing the damper to keep heat in.

How long does a fill last?

About 7 to 9 hours on the 8 litre AB8 burner, or 9 to 11 hours with the efficiency ring fitted.

What fuel does it use?

e-NRG bioethanol only.

Can it go outside?

EcoSmart lists the Grate 18 for indoor use.
