Rubymoonshine is safe to place on any non-flammable surface in any apartment, house restaurant or hotel. No ventilation is required.

How long will the ethanol last?

On maximum capacity, the RM units will burn 0,48 litres per hour, and on minimum 0,32 litres per hour depending on ventilation and draft.

Is the installation process difficult?

No, all RM units come pre assembled and just need unpacking. For bigger units instructions will be given.

Will my RM burner generate a lot of heat?

Depending on the Rubymoonshine model, it can generate from 2-6 kW/h increasing the temperature in a room 30-40m2 by around 3-5 oC.

How do I light my RM Burner?

Use long matches or a long lighter, otherwise dip the lighting rod provided in the ethanol slightly, light the lighting rod and light the unit using the lighting rod. See the How to light my fire page.

Can I use any other liquid, wood or paper to burn a Rubymoonshine unit?

No, all RM burners strictly use denatured Ethanol only.

How do I extinguish my RM Burner?

We do recommend burning the ethanol liquid completely. Should you wish to extinguish the fire earlier, use the key provided, slot the key into the holes of the slider, and slide shut. This cuts off the oxygen supply and extinguishes the fire immediately. The ethanol will not evaporate once closed if you leave the liquid inside the burner.

What is my RM unit made of?

All RM burners are made of a non-corrosive stainless steel. Housing units vary according to models.

Can I use my existing fireplace?

Yes, once the flue or chimney has been closed off and all utilities have been disconnected.

How do I clean my burner?

All burners can be cleaned using a soft clean and liquid stainless steel cleaners. The unit can be lifted out of the housing, once cooled and run under a hot water tap to remove traces of ethanol. It is normal for stainless steel to discolour over time when it is exposed to constant heat.

What is Bioethanol?

Ethanol is a natural alcohol produced by the fermentation of sugars originating from agricultural products, mainly sugar cane, potato, banana, beetroot and wheat. Ethanol can not be sold in its purest form to avoid human consumption. The ethanol is denatured with various substances for re-sale purposes.

Is Bioethanol dangerous?

No, our RM bioethanol is nothing else than 96.5% alcohol which is denatured, i.e made unfit for human consumption. In comparison to gel, bioethanol burns clean and residue-free, not leaving any unpleasant odours or fumes in your home. When burning it dissolves into water and CO2. Also using bioethanol reduces the CO2 emission by 80% in comparison to burning gas, coal or oil.

Is it dangerous to inhale?

No, it consists of plain water and a bit of carbon dioxide.

How is the ethanol liquid supplied?

The ethanol is supplied at various outlets in easy to pour 5 litre bottles. We do recommend using a jerry can, for easier pouring.

Does it smell?

There is no smell when a RM is burning. There is a slight smell once the flame is extinguished, similar to when you blow out a candle. The smell will soon dissipate into the air. Ethanol has its own unique scent, as with gas and wood. We recommend using aromatherapy oils, e.g vanilla

How do you store ethanol?

With lids firmly closed, in a well ventilated and cool area. It is classified as a Flammable liquid Class 3. Care must be taken with open flames.

Please keep this information with your unit. Enjoy styling your fire!

1. Pour ethanol into the burner using either the 5 litre bottles or your own jug. Rubymoonshine recommends using a jerry can (not supplied) with a long nozzle attachment (can be purchased from any hardware or plastic shop). Pour in the recommended amount or fill to just a finger or more from the top of the burner. Do not overfill.

2. Using the solid stainless steel key included, dip the key into the ethanol.

3. Carefully, using a lighter (not included) light the ethanol on the key on the side that was dipped into the ethanol from the burner. Keep holding the other end of the handle as far back as possible. Return the key back to the ethanol with the side that is slightly on fire-as picture 2.above. Do not bend over the fire. Keep your body and hands as far back as the key.

4. Once your fire has been lit, allow the ethanol to heat up and let your flame turn from blue to a golden yellow. Leave your fire to burn out completely, we do not recommend the burner as a storage device.

5. To extinguish your fire, or even to regulate it, place the key with the hole side onto the two knobs on the burner. Insert the knobs into the holes and slide the mechanism shut quickly. Should the fire not extinguish, reopen and repeat process.

Rubymoonshine founder, Max Hogg, has extensive experience in the fireplace market. Towards the end of 2014, she decided to go out on her own and founded Rubymoonshine.

Max is a specialist in the BioFuel field, and Rubymoonshine is set to become the leading distributor of Ethanol fuel and manufacturer of Ethanol burners in South Africa.

All burners are manufactured in Johannesburg with high grade non-corrosive stainless steel. Rubymoonshine caters to new renovations and building developments which are keen to incorporate eco-friendly products into the home, with little or no hassle at all. As space is becoming limited within the apartment developments, fireplaces with chimneys and flues, or even gas connections are not always possible. Rubymoonshine accommodates for this with an easy to install ethanol burner system, which is legal to use in the bedrooms as well.

Aromatherapy oils can also be used within the burners creating a lovely ambience and aroma in the home. Rubymoonshine supplies ethanol to the general public, restaurants , hotels as well as retail outlets nationwide.

Many hotels and restaurants are converting to this simpler, healthier way of heating, with half of the cost of gas. Many households are preferring this easier way to heat the home areas.
