Illuma™ bio-ethanol log sets are a new generation of fireplace technology that burns renewable, ultra-low emission bio-ethanol. The proprietary burner system and fuel canister allow for a safe, simple and illuminating fire experience. Illuma systems use a unique and safe, patent pending steady flame fuel burner and custom spill-proof illuma-fuel® liquid bio-ethanol canisters that are sealed for safe, clean handling. No pouring is required like other bio-ethanol unis – once the bottle is inserted into the fuel burner, the seal is punctured and the fuel is released into the fuel reservoir. The flame is lit by an easy, one-touch electrronic igniter. The Illuma™ bio-ethanol log set can be refueled during use by simply lifting the hinged door and swapping out the fuel canisters. Each unit is crafted to resemble a realistic oak log stack and easily fits in existing open hearth fireplaces – no special installation required. Illuma™ bio-ethanol log sets create no smoke and burn with ultra-low emissions. The flame snuffing device allows flames to be extinguished, or when partially closed, reduces flame burn height and extends the burning time. Bio-ethanol is a renewable energy source made by fermenting agricultural bio-mass, such as grain, corn, sugar cane, potatoes or other by-products into alcohol. It is one of the most clean and green options for fireplace fuels, producing beautiful aesthetic flames. The combustion of bio-ethanol results in minimal emissions of steam and carbon dioxide, which is reabsorbed by plants during photosynthesis. Because combustion is so clean, no smoke is emitted.
