Roundfire Premium Ethanol Fuel - 3 x 1 Liter

This fuel works great for an indoor fire pit. We have the Nordhaus model that was recalled. It burns clean. Just make sure you don't pour it into the fire pit with an open flame nearby. This misuse of the product prompted recalls. I would buy this again and recommend.

Excellent for indoor fire devices. I have one that is for smores and another that is more decorative making a fire cyclone. The fuel works perfect with no smell and no issues. Evaporates quickly if spilled as long as you don't get crazy with the lighter. Um, speaking for a friend...

As a health cascious person, I made sure to check out the ingrediants before purchasing. After some intense research and deep dive into the world of ethanol fuels (don't worry I didn't get lost in the flames), I was excited to verify this is safe for edible consumption! Toast all the s'mores your heart desires without any worries about your snack's safety.This fuel burns clean and steady, providing a long lasting flame perfect for cozy indoor hangouts or backyard marshmallow roasting marathons. Seriously, you can get through multiple batches of s'mores before the flame runs out. Talk about firepower!!In conclusion: if you are looking for a safe, long lasting, marshmallow melting fuel to go with your tabletop firepit, this product is the way to go. It's like the fuel for your dreams. 10/10 would burn again!!(So sorry for all my puns)

◄◄◄ From Hand Sanitizer to Bioethanol: Adventures in Chinese Popcorn Cannon Combustion ►►►I fell down a rabbit hole trying to find the perfect fuel for my traditional Chinese popcorn cannon (yes, it's a real thing, and yes, you probably want one). This tabletop pressure cooker builds up steam before releasing kernels in one magnificent explosion - making fuel choice surprisingly important.My journey began with COVID-era distillery-made hand sanitizer (waste not, want not), which worked reasonably well until supplies ran dry. Next came isopropyl alcohol - convenient but problematic, leaving my cannon cosplaying as a 19th-century chimney sweep with sooty black residue everywhere. Propane felt like bringing a flamethrower to a candle party - effective but excessive. I nearly went with denatured camping alcohol before discovering it produces formaldehyde fumes - not exactly the seasoning I wanted on my popcorn.Enter Roundfire bioethanol - the latest contestant in my increasingly bizarre fuel odyssey.■ WHAT'S IN THE BOTTLERoundfire premium bioethanol comes in a 1-liter bottle with an integrated "flashback resistor" (which sounds like the kind of safety feature that makes me nervous about why it's needed). The product boasts:- 96% pure bioethanol (with 4% mystery ingredients)- Smoke-free operation (mostly accurate)- Eco-friendly composition (compared to fossil fuels)- Designed for fires, stoves, and burnersAt $50 for three 1-liter bottles, it's reasonably priced for specialty cooking fuel, especially compared to the alternatives I've tried. With our twice-weekly popcorn sessions, these 3 liters should last us 5-6 months, making the cost quite reasonable when you get your setup dialed in.✓ THE GOOD STUFF- Burns significantly cleaner than isopropyl alcohol - no more soot-covered cannon- Decent price point compared to alternatives- More controlled burn once you get the wick height dialed in (I've found 0.3" to be the sweet spot)- No formaldehyde fumes trying to embalm my popcorn (always a plus)- Perfect for its intended fireplace use with visually appealing flames✗ THE CONCERNING STUFF- **SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE**: One bottle arrived with a failed seal and leaked during transit - extremely concerning for a liquid specifically designed for combustion purposes that was apparently just leaking the whole time it was being shipped- Burns with more yellow flame than I expected from ethanol (which should burn primarily blue)- The mysterious 4% non-ethanol content seems deliberately designed for visual effect rather than optimal clean burning- Leaves slight yellow coloring on my popcorn cannon after extended use- Stronger corn/alcohol odor than anticipated - exactly as you'd expect but more intense※ PRACTICAL POPCORN CANNON TIPS- Controlling the wick height is essential for minimizing yellow flame and residue (0.3" works best in my setup)- Works well with a tea light stove setup for consistent heat- After tweaking the setup, I've been able to eliminate most of the yellowing issues- Counter-intuitively, I've found that hotter burning flames actually reduce prep time AND prevent burning - slower cooking increases the chance of scorched popcorn- Despite the yellow flame, it's still the best option I've found after experimenting with nearly everything short of rocket fuel► THE VERDICTFor its intended use in decorative fireplaces, this fuel seems perfect - the yellow flames are likely a feature, not a bug. For my peculiar popcorn cannon application, it's about 3.5/5 stars - not perfect, but the best option I've found in my quest through the flammable fluids aisle of life.If you're looking for reasonably clean-burning, relatively safe fuel for indoor heat applications, this is a good choice. Just check those seals when your package arrives, and maybe keep a fire extinguisher handy - just in case your shipment decides to pre-ignite itself in transit.**Question for Roundfire**: I'd love some insight on what comprises the 4% non-ethanol additives and why my flames are burning yellow rather than the blue-white I'd expect from pure ethanol. Is this intentional for visual effect in fireplaces?

This fuel worked well for the table top fire "pit" I gave for a wedding gift. It made a great annual Christmas gift for my nephew and wife until either the appliance or the fuel was withdrawn from the market. They quit using it although they had loved everything about it and it was a completely new idea to them and their parents.

The media could not be loaded. Works great, I keep coming back to buy!

The media could not be loaded. Excellent, clean burn for a good while. Does not smoke at all, which makes it perfect for marshmallow burning. Great price for a pack of three. I am glad I went the route of the three, even though if I would have gone with just one, it’s still worth it.

I like this bioethanol product so far, and its aspects of safety, sustainability, and made-in-USA. I purchased to fuel my alcohol camping stoves. Use is outdoors or open shelters, but my first observation was lack of the caustic fumes I get from methanol fuel and ethanol with other denaturants. And I think I would prefer any spillage or leaks be bioethanol, instead of some other fuels I have used. The pros attract me, but there are some cons to weigh: First, in contrast to the popular methanol in a yellow bottle, the flame had a yellowish color… perhaps a less efficient burn. That notion was supported by a light soot coating on the pot, and a longer time to boil water. Another con was price, as this bioethanol was more than twice the cost of the yellow- bottle methanol. I bought only 3 liters, and there would be savings in purchasing larger quantities. Perhaps greater demand and production increases will eventually lessen price. Greater popularity and demand for this bioethanol could reduce another con that I noted: my order was shipped from quite a distance rather than from local storage… a few demerits for sustainability and earth-friendly.More testing to come.
