An EcoSmart Fire bioethanol fire pit, at BARAZZI, is a concrete bowl that takes a stainless steel burner filled with e-NRG bioethanol, for a restaurant, hotel or bar terrace: the flame comes from the liquid fuel, with no logs to load and no embers or ash to empty. The models presented need no installation or building work. This article explains the principle, what the data sheets say about fuel capacity and burn time, and the formats available, from the MIX 600 to the GIN 90 fire table.
The bioethanol burner: a stainless steel reservoir and a flame without embers
The heart of an EcoSmart Fire fire pit is a grade 304 stainless steel burner, supplied in a stainless finish or, on quotation, with a black ceramic coating. It takes e-NRG bioethanol, which the data sheet describes as a renewable energy source that burns clean and gives off warmth. Every model is sold with its burner: the AB3 on the MIX 600 and NOVA 600, the AB8 on the MIX 850, NOVA 850, POD 30, POD 40, MANHATTAN 50 and MARTINI 50, and the XL900 on the COSMO 50 and the four heights of the GIN 90. Black Glass Charcoal, a decorative medium, is included with all the concrete models; the jerry can, the e-NRG bottle adaptor, the lighter and the lighting rod come with every fire.
No wood, no ash, no building work: what bioethanol changes
The EcoSmart Fire data sheet sums up the difference from a wood fire in one sentence: the bioethanol flame comes without the hassles of burning wood, with no embers, ash or soot to clean up. The other difference is the set-up. An EcoSmart Fire bioethanol fire pit needs no installation or building work: unpack it, put it in position, light it. The fire pits and fire tables stand on 360° height-adjustable articulating feet, so the appliance is perfectly level before it is lit, and come with ground fixing brackets for a permanent position.

How long does a bioethanol fire pit burn?
The data sheet for the MIX range gives precise figures, which it describes itself as indicative only: they vary with the model, the installation and the seasonal resource used to produce the e-NRG. The AB8 burner of the MIX 850 holds 8 litres of bioethanol, for an output of 5.99 kW and a burn time of around 7 to 9 hours. The AB3 burner of the MIX 600 holds 2.5 litres, for 1.7 kW and 8 to 11 hours. The MIX 850 weighs 47.6 kg and the MIX 600 23.4 kg, burner and Black Glass Charcoal included. The same sheet lists an outdoor application and, as indicative values for indoor use, an average heated area of over 60 m² and a minimum room volume of 116 m³ for the MIX 850, over 20 m² and 40 m³ for the MIX 600.
A Fluid Concrete bowl in three colours
The concrete EcoSmart Fire models are made of Fluid Concrete, a concrete the MIX range data sheet describes as incredibly strong yet relatively lightweight, protected by a stain- and impact-resistant barrier against weathering and long UV exposure. Three concrete colours exist: Natural, Graphite and Bone; the COSMO 50, MANHATTAN 50, MARTINI 50 and GIN 90 fire tables add the Teak finish. The fire pits come in two sizes per range: the NOVA 850 measures 85 × 85 cm and 31 cm high, the NOVA 600 60 × 60 × 22 cm; the POD 30 is 76.2 × 76.2 × 35.1 cm and the POD 40 100 × 100 × 50.4 cm.

Fire pit or fire table: the EcoSmart Fire formats
The EcoSmart Fire burners come in two silhouettes. The MIX, NOVA and POD fire pits are freestanding bowls. The fire tables stretch the bowl into a low top: the COSMO 50, the MANHATTAN 50 and the MARTINI 50 all measure 127 × 76.2 cm and 29.6 cm high, the COSMO 50 with an XL900 burner, the other two with an AB8.

Frequently asked questions
What fuel does an EcoSmart Fire bioethanol fire pit use?
e-NRG bioethanol, a liquid fuel the data sheet describes as a renewable energy source that burns clean. It is poured into the stainless steel burner with the jerry can and the e-NRG bottle adaptor supplied with every fire, along with the operation manual.
Does a bioethanol fire pit need building work or a connection?
Not according to the EcoSmart Fire data sheet: no installation or building work is required, the appliance is unpacked, put in position and lit. The height-adjustable articulating feet level it, and the fixing brackets supplied secure it permanently to the ground once the spot has been chosen.
Can a bioethanol fire pit stay outside all year round?
The data sheet lists weather-resistant materials designed for all four seasons, and a Fluid Concrete bowl protected against weathering and UV. A protective cover exists for every model, and a winter storage bag for the MIX 600, MIX 850, POD 30 and GIN 90 Bar, on quotation.
