The bio ethanol fuel is put into the burner and then lit. As the fuel burns, it generates the appearance of a flame and the heat can be controlled with a slider (not all designs feature this). By altering the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can adjust the speed at which the fuel burns and how high the flame burns.
