The best accessories for electric and bioethanol fireplaces

Electric and bioethanol fireplaces are popular choices for those seeking ambiance and warmth without the hassle of a traditional wood-burning fireplace. Whether you opt for an electric fireplace for its convenience or a bioethanol fireplace for its eco-friendliness, the right accessories can enhance the comfort, appearance, and safety of your fireplace. In this article, we discuss the most popular and useful accessories for both types of fireplaces.

Decorative logs and pebbles

One of the most sought-after accessories for electric and bioethanol fireplaces are decorative logs, ceramic wood logs, or realistic pebbles. These provide the fireplace with a more authentic appearance without the need for real wood.

A real added value for wide electric fireplaces are also fireplace decoration materials such as vermiculite embers and charcoal.

Benefits:

• Enhances the ambiance
• Heat resistance
• Easy to install

For bioethanol fireplaces, special ceramic log sets are available that can be safely used with open flames.

Fireplace crackling sound module

Enhance the illusion of a real fire with a crackling sound module or speaker that emits fireplace sounds. This accessory is often used with electric fireplaces to add more ambiance to the flame effect.

Benefits:

• Enhances the ambiance
• Creates a cozy atmosphere
• Easy to install 

Remote control and smart home integration

For optimal convenience, many modern fireplaces come equipped with remote controls or even app control via WiFi. This allows you to turn on the fireplace, adjust the flame level, or set a timer from the comfort of your chair. If you're looking for a remote control for your electric fireplace, check the​ spare parts section for electric fireplaces.

Tip: Choose fireplaces that are compatible with systems like Google Home or Alexa for maximum integration into your smart home.

Wind screens for bioethanol fireplaces

A glass wind screen is essential for freestanding or open bio-ethanol fireplaces. It protects against drafts and prevents flames from burning unevenly. It also increases safety, especially in households with children or pets. Each Xaralyn bio-ethanol burner comes standard with a set of safety glass. If this safety glass is lost or broken, check the spare parts section for bioethanol fireplaces.

Scent diffusers and aroma stones

For an extra sensory experience, scent diffusers or aroma stones are available that are particularly suitable for use with bioethanol fireplaces. Add a few drops of fragrant oil, place the scent diffuser in the warmth of the bioethanol fireplace, and your home will smell wonderful.​ 

Note: Do not drop oil directly onto the ceramic stone in the Xaralyn bio-ethanol burner. 

Fuel accessories for bioethanol fireplaces

Safely refilling and lighting bioethanol fuel is important. Handy accessories like safety funnels help prevent spills. Also convenient and safe to use is the extra-long electric lighter (USB lighter) for lighting a Xaralyn bioethanol fireplace.​

Conclusion

Whether you choose an electric or bio-ethanol fireplace, the right accessories make the difference between merely functional and truly atmospheric. Think about decoration, safety, control, and scent experience—all elements that contribute to the comfort and appearance of your fireplace.
