Unlike traditional fireplaces, the ventless Ecosmart design is 90% generated heat efficient. No heat escapes through a chimney or flue keeping the maximum warmth in the area so that you can get the most heat output from your fire.
Ecosmart fire pits use bioethanol to produce a clean, smokeless heat that doesn’t generate any harmful gases, sparks or soot. Bioethanol is also environmentally friendly, producing around the same CO2 emissions as burning a candle! So, you know you are doing your part for the planet while you enjoy your fire.
You can even order bioethanol online and have it delivered to your front door. Making operating your Ecosmart firepit even more convenient.
Ecosmart fire pits are cheap to run. While a gas fireplace requires professional (and expensive) servicing every 12-18 months, the Ecosmart Pod 40 requires very little maintenance.
The Ecosmart Pod 40 can hold up to 8L of bioethanol fuel, meaning you can enjoy the ambience and warming flame for up to 8 hours. The Pod 40 will heat an area of up to 60m². The equivalent of a large family area.
Fluid™ concrete uses a special moulding process that adds multiple layers of structural mesh with a special slurry to produce a high-quality concrete that is relatively lightweight yet incredibly strong. So strong in fact, you can drop a 1kg steel ball on it from a height of 1.5m with no visible damage to the concrete.
Fluid™ concrete is also environmentally friendly and made from 95% recycled natural materials. Fluid™ concrete can also withstand extreme temperature fluctuations, making it the perfect material for use as a fire pit.

Below is a list of everything included and a list of optional add-ons for the Pod 40.
A self-contained and standalone vent-less fireplace that's fuelled with ethanol.
An ethanol fireplace is a cost-effective, mess-free, versatile alternative to a wood or gas fireplace. Easy to set up, simple to use, relocatable anywhere and beautiful to sit by.
Ethanol fuel is simply poured and contained in the fireplace's stainless steel burner. The flame is ignited in a matter of seconds by dipping the lighting rod in the burners fuel, then lighting the end of the 'dipped' rod with the firelighter (like a candle), and then finally dipping the 'ignited' rod back into the stainless steel burner to ignite the contained fuel.
