Ethanol is a scam. It causes more pollution than traditional fuels, and it takes more energy to create than what it provides. Total garbage.

The combustion products of burning ethanol are carbon dioxide and water. How is producing large amounts of those in your house a good idea? Maybe you need a flue, but then doesn't that kinda ruin the whole wall mountable idea?

He tells the truth, no point thumbing down because you dont like it.
But there is hope, Scotland just came up with a good bio-fuel, the stuff they just got from waste products of Scotch.
Instead of throwing it away they are making good use out of it.

"it's compact design also means users can mount it on walls."

Be sure to mount an extinguisher nearby, and maybe have the fire dept on premise

Not only Scotland is a hope in US you can also find products which use bio fuel like for an example here http/www.chanticousa.com/ and they use eco Fanola fuel as they say: "Ethanol is of plant origin, obtained through fermentation of saccharine and is produces from seasonal produce."
