Good to know
Does it really give off heat?
Yes, gently. At full flame it gives off roughly 2 to 3 kW of radiant warmth, about what a small electric heater gives. Enough to take the chill off a room and feel it when you sit nearby, but not a replacement for your central heating.
What does it cost to run?
The 1.5 L burner gives 3 to 5 hours of flame per fill, so it uses about 0.3 to 0.5 L an hour. With UK fuel at around £2.50 to £4.75 a litre, that is roughly 75p to £2.40 per hour, depending on the fuel you choose and the flame size.
Buying fuel in bulk (for example 5 × 5 L) keeps it at the lower end.
Description
A real fire, for homes that were never built for one.
You want the glow of a fire at the end of the day, without a chimney, a builder or a landlord's permission. Ember gives you a living flame in any room: set it down, fill the burner, and your fire is lit tonight.
There is a moment every evening when the house goes quiet. Screens go dark, the kettle clicks off, and you look for somewhere to land. For centuries, that place was the fire. Then chimneys were bricked up, flats replaced cottages, and the hearth became something you only saw in other people's homes.
Ember was designed to give that moment back. A rounded dome on a slim stand, finished in soft matte white, so it sits as easily beside a linen sofa as in a calm bedroom corner. No cables, no switches, no screen pretending to be fire. Just a real flame, lit by hand, that moves the way fire always has.
Light it when friends arrive, on a grey Sunday in November, or simply when the day is done. Snuff it out when the evening ends. By day, unlit, it remains a quiet sculptural piece.
For people who want a real fire at home but live without a chimney, and who will not settle for an electric imitation.

- 1.5 L burner in 304 stainless steel: 3 to 5 hours of flame per fill

Place it
A few minutes of simple assembly, then set it on a flat, stable floor, clear of curtains, shelves and anything that could catch.
-

Pour bioethanol fireplace fuel into the stainless steel burner. Only ever fill it when it is cold.
-
03
Light it
Light the fuel with a long lighter, sit back and enjoy the evening. That really is it.

No chimney required
Our story
We wanted a real fire.
Our homes had other plans.
-
The problem
Flats, new builds, rentals: most of us live without a working chimney. A wood burner means a flue, permits and builders.
-
The compromise
So we settled for LED fires and screens that pretend to crackle. Pleasant enough, but never the real thing.
-
The answer
Pure Flame was born from one simple rule: a genuine flame, in a piece beautiful enough to be the centrepiece of the room. No chimney, no fitter, nothing to plug in.
“Fill it, light it, and get your evenings back.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a chimney or professional installation?
No. No flue, no chimney, no structural work. Position it, add bioethanol, light it.
Is it safe to use indoors?
Yes, when used as directed. A real flame with no smoke, ash or soot. Use in a well-ventilated room and follow the enclosed safety instructions.
Will it heat the room, or is it purely decorative?
Mainly ambience and visual warmth. It gives off some radiant heat, but it's not a replacement for your main heating.
Does it produce smoke or leave a smell in the room?
There is no smoke and no soot. You may notice a faint scent when lighting and extinguishing, which fades once the flame is steady. No smell lingers in the room.
Is the flame real, or is this just a design object?
Both. A genuine, moving flame, not simulated or LED, in a sculptural, minimalist form.
Is it easy to set up, and is it a good gift?
Yes. Assembly is simple and only takes a few minutes, following the enclosed instructions. Then add bioethanol and light it.
How much fuel does it hold, and how long does the flame last?
The stainless steel tank holds 1.5 litres of bioethanol, giving 3 to 5 hours of flame per fill. It burns cleanly, with no smoke, no soot and no odour once the flame is established. Simply let it cool fully before refilling.
Can I use it in a flat or a rented home?
Yes. There is no flue to fit and nothing to drill or fix to the walls, which makes it a natural fit for flats and rented homes. Simply use it in a well-ventilated room.
Will it fit in my space?
You will find the exact dimensions in the Specifications tab. Choose a flat, stable floor and keep clear space around and above the flame, away from curtains, shelves and soft furnishings.
Where can I buy bioethanol in the UK?
Bioethanol fireplace fuel is easy to find online and in many DIY and garden stores. Pick a fuel made for bioethanol fireplaces, ideally 95% purity or higher, for a cleaner, brighter flame.
What if my order arrives damaged?
It is carefully packed, but if anything arrives damaged, email us at contact@purflame.co.uk with a photo and your order number and we will arrange a replacement or a refund.
