Easy maintenance

As the fuel burns, it produces the appearance of a flame and the heat can be controlled with an adjustable slider (not all designs include this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen supplied to the fire, you can adjust the speed at which the fuel is burned and the intensity of the flame.
When the fuel is burned, it creates tiny amounts of soot. However, this is easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other maintenance is to keep the burner topped up with the right fuel and to ensure it's not in contact with items or materials that are flammable.
