Maintenance ease

The bio ethanol fuel is added to the burner and then lit. As the fuel burns, it generates a flame and heat that can be controlled by the slider (not all designs feature this). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is pumped into the fire, you can change how quickly the fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.
