ENR.QTS.16-1CS

e-NRG Bioethanol Fuel - 1 Case / 16 Quarts

One case, four gallons, sixteen quart bottles. On an AB8 burner that is roughly six or seven evenings; on the smallest burners in the range it is most of a season.

Key features

96 to 97 percent
The alcohol content is the whole specification. Below it the flame gets lazy and the burn shortens; above it the fuel stops being stable to handle. e-NRG is blended to sit in that band every time.
Heat, water vapour and carbon dioxide
That is the complete list of what leaves the burner. No smoke, no soot, no ash, and nothing to sweep out of the table in the morning.
Scent at either end only
You will notice it when you light the burner and when you put it out. In between there is nothing to smell, which is the difference between sitting upwind and not caring where you sit.
A flame arrester in every bottle
The bottle is fitted with a device that stops fuel igniting if it meets a spark or a flame while you are pouring. Refuelling is the moment that goes wrong, so it is the moment worth engineering.
Certified where it is sold
UL 1370 in the United States, EN 16647 in Europe. Using anything else in an EcoSmart burner voids the warranty and the manufacturer's liability with it.

Fire Screen (Optional for Concrete Models)

ESF.5.A.G.R530

EcoSmart Fire R530 Fire Screen

EcoSmart Fire R530 Fire Screen

The round-burner screen. Four panels around a Pod, an Ark or a Martini, low enough that it does not turn the fire into an exhibit and tall enough to do the job.

Key features

A flame that stands still
Moving air is what makes an outdoor flame wander, gutter and burn through a fill faster than it should. Four panels of glass around it and the fire behaves the way it does indoors.
Glass chosen for how it fails
Ultra-low-iron toughened glass, specified to break into small blunt pieces rather than shards. On a table people lean over, that is the property that matters most.
Nothing to fix, nothing to store
It sits over the opening under its own weight. Lift it off when you want the fire open, put it back when the wind gets up.

Weight10.5 lb

Burner Cover (Outdoor Models)

ESF.5.A.BC.AB8

EcoSmart Fire AB8 Burner Cover

EcoSmart Fire AB8 Burner Cover

The burner is the part of an outdoor fire table you cannot replace cheaply, and it is the part that spends the year facing upwards. Sixty-five dollars closes it.

Key features

Rain is the actual problem
Water sitting in an open burner dilutes whatever fuel is left in the reservoir. The next time you light it the flame is low, uneven and hard to put down to anything else.
One piece of silicone
No straps, no cord, nothing to lose over a winter. It seats over the opening and peels off in one movement, cold hands included.
Storage, not just weather
Most of the scratching a burner collects happens while it is not being used. A closed lid keeps grit off the stainless.
Finish the job
Fit a Glass Cover Plate on top and the burner well is both sealed against weather and turned back into usable table.

Glass Cover Plate

ESF.5.A.CP.R20

EcoSmart Fire R20 Glass Cover Plate

EcoSmart Fire R20 Glass Cover Plate

For the round burners. Six pounds of smoke grey glass that turns a Pod, an Ark or a Martini into an ordinary, useful table for the months you are not lighting it.

Key features

Two pieces of furniture
A fire table earns its space for a few hours an evening. Drop the plate over the burner opening and the other twenty hours are a flat, continuous surface you can put a glass down on.
Smoke grey, not clear
The tint hides the burner tray underneath instead of framing it, so the covered table reads as one surface rather than as a fire table with a lid on.
Toughened throughout
The same grade of glass as our fire screens, rated for the same indoor and outdoor use, with no coating to wear off.
Weatherproof it properly
The plate covers the opening; it does not seal it. Fit the AB8 Burner Cover underneath first and the burner stays dry through a winter as well as a rain shower.

ESF.2.A.TAN.NA

EcoSmart Fire Tank Concrete Stool - Natural

EcoSmart Fire Tank Concrete Stool - Natural

The pale cast. Natural is the finish that reads as stone rather than as concrete, and it is the one that sits quietly next to a Natural surround instead of matching it exactly.

Key features

A stool that hides a bottle
It is hollow. On a gas/LP fire table the propane bottle goes inside it and the tank stops being the thing you arrange the seating around.
Or just a stool
On an ethanol table there is no bottle to hide, and it is still forty-four pounds of cast concrete at seating height - somewhere to sit, or to put a tray down.
Cast, not moulded on
Fluid concrete through the whole section, in the same finishes as the tables, so a stool and a surround bought together age at the same rate.
Heavy on purpose
Forty-four pounds does not move in wind and does not walk across a deck when someone stands up from it.

Pod 40 Fire Pit w/ Ethanol Burner

Inspired by the shapes and forms of traditional pottery, the Pod Fire Bowl Series brings a modern update to the classic fire pit — and the Pod 40 is its fullest expression. Its smokeless fire provides a warm and inviting outdoor centrepiece to gather around and relax in front of, no matter the season.

The generous rim offers real surface for glasses and small plates, and an optional glass cover plate allows for easy conversion to a coffee table when the fireplace is not in use. Hand-cast in Fluid™ Concrete from a blend of green cement and recycled materials, the Pod 40 resists scratches, stains, mould and mildew, and is available in Ethanol, Natural Gas or Liquid Propane.

Round, grounded and quietly monumental, the Pod 40 gives a poolside deck or courtyard a natural centre of gravity.

That the same object can serve indoors or out comes down to EcoSmart's burner technology: plant-based ethanol is certified for interior and exterior installation, while natural gas and liquid propane deliver higher heat in outdoor settings. Neither ethanol nor liquid propane requires a fixed utility connection.

Seating arranges itself in a circle around an open flame — it always has. The Pod 40 makes that arrangement permanent, and gives a garden or terrace a reason to be used every evening rather than a few afternoons a year.

Fire, in the round, with nothing to sweep up afterwards.
