Best bioethanol stove 2026: compared

Best for your need
No stove is best for everyone. Here is the pick for each common need.
Lowest price
ScandiFlames Cradle / Oklahoma
From 2,419 kr. Smaller flames and lower output (1.5–2 kW), but the cheapest way to try a real flame at home.
Small room
ScandiFlames Cradle / Edmonton
Needs only 40 m³ of room volume. Our stoves need at least 63 m³, so they don't suit very small rooms.
Most heat
Eldstadsexperten Lungo 2,2 L
Up to 4 kW according to the seller, the most here. Burn time is shorter, about 3 hours.
Longest burn per fill
Stadskamin Härdberg
3-litre burner, 6–9 hours on one fill. No refilling mid-evening. Needs 80 m³.

Stadskamin Glödvik
From 10,395 kr for a full-size stove with 3 kW and 3–8 hours per fill. Honolulu is cheaper but gives about half the output.

How we compared
We have not test-burned the other stoves. The comparison uses the figures each seller states: price, burner size, burn time per fill, maximum heat output and minimum room volume. Where a seller doesn't state room volume, we say so.
The burner is the biggest difference. A small burner (0.3–1 L) is cheap but burns briefly or gives little heat. A larger burner gives longer evenings without refilling. Check the minimum room volume too: it decides whether the stove suits your room at all.
We update this comparison every season.
