Fire Tables

Yes, fire tables represent a sound investment, combining practical heat with enduring design quality. They function simultaneously as a table surface and heat source, built from materials engineered for decades of use, with none of the installation complexity of traditional fireplaces.

EcoSmart Fire fire tables use Fluid Concrete Technology, a lightweight, impact-resistant material that resists UV damage, staining, and mildew, paired with Grade A teak or Grade 304 stainless steel components. Maintenance is minimal: a concrete sealant every 6 months for residential use and optional teak oiling once or twice yearly. A protective cover further extends their lifespan.

Design versatility extends the value further. Bioethanol models work both indoors and outdoors, shifting underutilised spaces into year-round gathering places. With burn times of 7-9 hours per fill and no flue or gas line required, they deliver practical heat alongside ambient flame without permanent installation costs.

Certified to UL 1370, EN 16647, and CSA standards, and trusted by luxury hospitality installations globally, EcoSmart Fire tables are built for longevity. The investment pays dividends through reliable, low-maintenance performance over many years.

EcoSmart Fire bioethanol fire tables produce between 15,000 and 20,433 BTU per hour, depending on burner configuration. The AB8 burner delivers 20,433 BTU/h (6 kW), whilst the XL900 burner delivers 15,000 BTU/h (4 kW), each matched to the table design for the ideal balance of output and burn time. Both configurations heat spaces up to approximately 60 m² [646 ft²], creating a comfortable zone for outdoor entertaining.

What makes bioethanol heating stand out is the efficiency: over 90% of the heat stays in your space rather than venting up a chimney. Unlike traditional fireplaces, you're not paying to warm the sky. The flame burns cleanly with no smoke or ash, so the warmth you feel is direct and unobstructed.

For larger gatherings or expansive outdoor areas needing primary heating, gas fire tables are available with significantly higher output. For intimate entertaining spaces and patio zones, bioethanol delivers the right amount of warmth without overheating a defined gathering area. The enclosed burner design also minimises heat loss on breezy evenings.

No, EcoSmart Fire fire tables are not designed to be placed on artificial turf. Fire tables require minimum 12.5 mm [0.5 in] of underside airflow clearance, achieved through adjustable articulating feet that sit on level, solid surfaces. Artificial turf compresses unevenly and cannot provide the stable foundation needed for proper airflow underneath the unit.

Artificial turf also traps moisture under the fire table, preventing proper evaporation and potentially damaging the concrete surrounds over time. For optimal performance and longevity, place your fire table on level, solid surfaces such as patio stone, concrete slabs, or sealed decking. These surfaces support the articulating feet correctly and allow the essential underside ventilation that keeps your fire table operating safely and efficiently.

Yes, EcoSmart Fire bioethanol fire pit tables are designed for unrestricted portability. They're freestanding furniture without gas line connections or permanent installation, so you can relocate them freely between outdoor spaces or even indoors.

Each table features 360-degree height-adjustable articulating feet for stable levelling after repositioning. Weight varies by model, typically between 35.74 kg [78.8 lb] and 81.74 kg [180.2 lb], depending on the material finish. Simply position the table on solid, level ground with adequate clearance (minimum 600 mm [23.6 in] to adjacent furniture and 2,000 mm [78.7 in] overhead), and you're ready to enjoy the flames.

This mobility freedom is one of bioethanol's core advantages. Unlike gas fire features, there's no flue requirement, no fuel line to disconnect, and no structural commitment. Rearrange your outdoor layout seasonally, refresh your patio design, or bring flexible ambience wherever you gather.

The key difference is functional design. Fire tables combine a flat tabletop surface (about 1,000 mm square) at coffee or dining height with an integrated bioethanol burner underneath; they're 2-in-1 pieces that hold plates, glasses, and decorative items by day and create flame by evening. Fire pits are sculptural centrepieces with minimal tabletop space, designed purely as atmospheric focal points; their varying heights (from 220 to 780 mm) make them sculptural objects first, heat sources second.

A fire table transforms your entertaining by anchoring a seating arrangement where guests can gather, dine, or socialise around a functional surface. A fire pit creates a 360-degree gathering experience around an artistic focal point; the flame draws everyone inward, regardless of seating arrangement. Fire tables suit intimate, directed settings; fire pits suit more open, circular gatherings.

Both use clean-burning bioethanol fuel with no smoke, ash, or residue. Fire tables hold larger burners (the AB8, delivering 20,433 BTU/h and heating up to 60 m²), whilst fire pits use smaller burners (the AB3, 5,800 BTU/h, heating up to 20 m²). When unlit, a fire table remains furniture; a fire pit is only decorative until the flame ignites.

A fire table's size should match both your outdoor space's dimensions and how you intend to use it, whether as a focal point for intimate gatherings or a multi-furniture functional centrepiece for entertaining.

EcoSmart Fire tables range from compact square models at 610 mm [24 in] per side, ideal for balconies and smaller patios, to large rectangular options at 2,272 mm × 1,098 mm [89.4 × 43.2 in], designed for upscale courtyards and dining scenarios. Most standard patios work well with mid-range square tables around 1,000–1,270 mm [39.4–50 in] per side, large enough to define the space and anchor a gathering without overwhelming the layout.

Consider how you'll use the table. A compact model suits a corner conversation area or apartment terrace, while a rectangular design suits pool decks and entertaining zones where you want the table oriented along a longer edge. A dining-height table lets you place chairs around all sides, transforming it from ambiance piece into functional outdoor dining.

Across the bioethanol range, heat coverage is consistent at approximately 60 m² [646 ft²], so size selection comes down to space proportions and how many people you want to gather around it. Browse the full range on our product pages to compare dimensions and find the right fit for your space.

Yes, EcoSmart Fire bioethanol fire tables are designed as multi-furniture-functional pieces that convert to fully functional coffee or dining tables using optional toughened glass cover plates. Simply place the cover plate over the burner opening when the flame isn't in use, and your fire table becomes a flat, usable surface perfect for drinks, food, and décor. The conversion is engineered into every design, with purpose-built cover plates that fit each table's dimensions precisely.

The tabletop height across the range (248–340 mm [9.8–13.4 in]) sits comfortably for both coffee and dining use. Surfaces are crafted from durable, all-weather materials like Fluid Concrete and Grade A teak, so they withstand regular use without compromise. The concrete finish is stain and impact-resistant, while teak develops a natural patina that deepens over time. Five cover plate sizes (R20, S18, S22, L50, and L65) fit different fire table widths, so you can find the right match for your piece.

The result is furniture that genuinely works both ways: a gathering place by evening, a functional table by day. This dual-purpose design eliminates the need for separate pieces, making fire tables an elegant solution for spaces where every element needs to earn its place.

EcoSmart Fire bioethanol fire tables are designed for safe family use when proper supervision and guidelines are followed. The toughened glass screens prevent direct contact with burner elements, and the clean-burning bioethanol fuel produces no sparks, embers, or soot, eliminating common fire hazards. The slider-controlled flame adjustment lets you reduce the flame height at any time, giving you immediate control over heat output and visual intensity.

For children, maintain clear supervision during active use, and use physical barriers (positioning furniture or establishing a designated perimeter) to prevent unintended contact with the table surround during operation. Once the fire is out and the glass has cooled, the glass cover plate converts the table to standard furniture, making it safe for play. The tables are substantial pieces (316–378 lbs [143–172 kg]); they're not easily displaced.

Pets are naturally drawn to heat sources. The absence of embers and sparks removes the risk of burn injuries from jumping debris.

EcoSmart Fire bioethanol tables are UL-listed to UL 1370 and EN 16647 BSI-Certified, meeting rigorous safety standards for both performance and responsible use. Clear installation and operation guidelines are included with every table, and the brand positions fire tables as centrepieces for family gathering, engineered with safety at the forefront.

Fire tables can be safely used on wooden decks when you follow specific installation and operation guidelines. EcoSmart Fire bioethanol fire tables are approved for combustible surfaces like wooden decking, with one critical requirement: a minimum ½ inch [12.5 mm] air gap between the ground and the underside of the appliance. The product's height-adjustable articulating feet create this essential clearance, preventing direct contact between the burner base and flammable materials.

Because bioethanol fires produce no sparks or embers, they're inherently safer for timber decking than wood-burning alternatives. However, timber protection matters. Unsealed or porous wooden decks should be protected from moisture and water runoff from the fire table's operation. Keep flammable materials at least 1 metre away while the fire is lit, and allow the unit to cool completely before refuelling.

Level installation on a hard, flat surface is essential. Don't place the fire table on grass, uneven ground, or surfaces that flex or settle. Following these guidelines, your EcoSmart Fire table becomes a durable, design-forward gathering feature that enhances your deck without compromising safety.
