If you’re considering a bioethanol fireplace, fire pit, or tabletop burner, one of the first questions is likely:
How long will a bottle of bioethanol fuel last?
Knowing the burn time helps you plan cozy evenings, dinner parties, or outdoor gatherings — without constantly refilling your burner.
Let’s break it down.
What Determines Burn Time for Bioethanol Fuel?
The length of time a bioethanol flame burns depends on a few key factors:
-
Burner size
-
Small tabletop burners (200–500ml) burn for 1–2 hours.
-
Medium burners (1L) can burn 3–4 hours.
-
Large outdoor fire pits (2–5L) will burn 5–10 hours or more.
-
-
Airflow / ventilation
-
Drafts or high airflow increase combustion speed, reducing burn time.
-
A stable, indoor environment ensures a consistent flame.
-
-
Fuel purity
-
High-quality, pure bioethanol burns steadily and efficiently.
-
Lower-quality fuels may burn unevenly or faster due to additives.

Average Burn Times by Burner Size
| Burner Size | Approx. Burn Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 200–300ml | 1–2 hours | Ideal for small table burners or fondue sets |
| 500ml | 2–2.5 hours | Small indoor fireplaces |
| 1L | 3–4 hours | Standard medium burners for living rooms |
| 2L+ | 5–10+ hours | Large outdoor fire pits or commercial use |
These are approximate times — actual burn duration may vary depending on room conditions and airflow.
How to Extend Burn Time
-
Use the right burner size
-
Avoid overfilling small burners; it won’t increase burn time and may be unsafe.
-
-
Control airflow
-
Indoors: minimal drafts for steady flames
-
Outdoors: sheltered areas to prevent excessive flame speed
-
-
Use high-purity fuel
-
Pure bioethanol produces a stable, even flame from start to finish.
-
Easy Maintenance After Burning
One of the biggest advantages of bioethanol fuel:
-
No ashes or soot – wipe down the burner with a dry cloth
-
Store leftover fuel safely – in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight
-
Refill and relight easily – the clean-burning nature of bioethanol makes repeated use simple
