The main difference between traditional fire and ethanol pits is that the former is designed to burn timber and charcoal while the latter is powered by eco-friendly bioethanol. At Milkcan, you’ll find both options, available in a variety of sizes and finishes.

ETHANOL

Ethanol fire pits are ideal for those looking for an environmentally friendly, fuel efficient, stylish fire pit to create the perfect centre piece.

Compared to gas fire pits that can product harmful toxins our range is powered by eco-friendly bioethanol, which is smokeless and has been called the “future fuel revolution”.

The biggest benefit of ethanol fire pits is the ability to also use indoors or on small outdoor areas such as balconies.

Our range includes stylish and contemporary designs and offer a low maintenance option, with no need to clean ash like traditional fire pits, simply close the lid to put the fire out.
