Bottom Line

The best budget ethanol fireplace that is great for small spaces or tabletops outside.

Ventless design with protective glass keeps the flame well contained while allowing heat to radiate outwards. Only a single fuel canister is necessary to keep the flame going. Burns for up to two hours.

Cons

Fuel canister does not last a long as advertised.

Bottom Line

One of the largest ethanol fireplaces available that still fits into tight spaces due to the narrow profile.

Pros

Made of durable stainless steel. Comes with a large fuel canister that offers around 6-12 hours of burn time before refilling. A built-in flame snuffer makes it easy to cover the flame when done with the fireplace.

Cons

Easy to overfill the canister if not careful.
