EcoSmart fire tables are one of the most requested products I help customers choose at Outdoor Elegance. They offer clean-burning bioethanol, real flame, no need for gas lines or connections. After helping hundreds of customers select the right model, the question I hear most is simple: which EcoSmart fire table is best for my space? Here’s what I’ve learned.

I’ve spent years working with high-end outdoor living products, and EcoSmart fires are a range I genuinely love. They’re technically clever — bioethanol-powered, which means no gas lines, no plumbing, no installation crew. Just a clean, real flame that can be enjoyed outside, under cover or even in the living room.

But that simplicity can give people the impression that choosing one is equally straightforward. In my experience, there is a little more to it. There are differences between burner sizes as well as the physical size of the fireplaces themselves. Different designs offer different functionality, where you position it in your home will impact the performance — and getting those details right for your specific space makes an enormous difference to how much you actually enjoy the thing.

Whether you’re designing a backyard retreat, specifying for a luxury build, or just want something beautiful for your terrace — this is an investment worth a proper conversation. That’s what we’re here for.

Unlike retailers who carry fire features as a seasonal line, we work with all our outdoor living categories all year-round and have years of expertise because of it. That means we can take you through the real differences between burner sizes, how ethanol performs versus gas in different climates, what wind exposure does to flame stability, and exactly what clearances you need for a specific layout. It’s knowledge that comes from working with these products constantly — and it makes a genuine difference to the advice our team can give you.

One of the things I’m genuinely proud of is our exclusive range — models that aren’t available through other retailers. The Tequila Fire Table is probably our most talked-about. It’s a bold, architectural piece that offers the functionality of a large coffee table area with the clean-burning ethanol technology in a way that just makes a space stop.

If you want a fire table that’s truly different — one that’s a centrepiece with form and function rather than just another outdoor accessory — that exclusivity is real. We’ve curated these models specifically because they stand apart, and because our customers tell us they don’t want to see the same fire table at every neighbour’s place.

The Tequila Fire Table — an exclusive EcoSmart design, available only through Outdoor Elegance.

Every outdoor space is different. Layouts, sightlines, how people move through the area and even your outdoor colour palette — all of it shapes which fire table will actually work. Before I ever talk product, I want to understand how you use your outdoor space, who you entertain, what the local weather does, where the seating goes.

Photographs are beautiful, but they don’t tell you how a flame moves, how the heat feels at different distances, or what the presence of a real fire actually does to a space. Our showrooms let you experience all of that before you commit.

In any one of our showrooms, any time of year you can get a physical demonstration of our fireplaces. After checking them out in person, customers always leave more confident — and usually with a clearer idea of what they want than when they walked in.

EcoSmart products are built to last. But even the best product eventually needs a question answered — we have the fuel available, we have accessories like wind screens and covers, and we can certainly help with furniture to match.

When you call us after your purchase, you’re not starting from scratch with a call centre. You’re talking to me, or someone on my team, who knows exactly what you bought. That continuity is something our customers mention to us constantly — and it’s something I’m genuinely proud of.

If you’re serious about an EcoSmart fire table, come and see us. Bring photos of your space if you have them — the conversation will be better for it. You’ll leave with a much clearer picture of what you actually need, and I’d like to think you’ll leave with more confidence too.

That’s what we’re here for.
