About the Prime Neo Bioethanol Fire Insert
The Planika Neo Burner 500 is a compact automatic bioethanol fireplace insert featuring revolutionary BEV Technology for safe, clean combustion. At just 500mm long, this automatic burner heats bioethanol inside the tank and turns it into vapours combusted above the burner, eliminating direct contact between fire and flammable liquid. The result is no smoke, soot, or ash—perfect for cities and countries with CO2 emission restrictions. With an integrated control panel and intuitive design, the Neo 500 provides controlled usage whilst safety sensors and microprocessor constantly monitor combustion conditions. The dedicated casing allows almost immediate installation in any interior without chimney requirements.
With 2-stage flame height control, the Neo 500 offers flexibility for your needs. Lower eco mode extends burning time up to 4 hours for longer enjoyment from the 1.3L tank capacity. Higher mode delivers stronger 4.1kW heat output perfect for warming rooms around 41m³. Constructed from durable galvanised steel to ensure years of longevity, the Neo 500 weighs just 10.1kg for manageable installation. Made in Poland with Planika premium quality, this BEV Technology burner eliminates traditional fireplace complexity whilst delivering real flames without smoke or ash—a perfect alternative to wood-burning fireplaces.

Planika Neo Burner FAQ
Everything you need to know about the Planika Neo Burners
Yes. Neo Burner features Planika's patented BEV (Burning Ethanol Vapours) Technology for safe operating of bioethanol burners. The fuel stored inside the tank is heated up by the device and turned into vapours. These vapours are then combusted right above the burner, eliminating direct contact between the fire and flammable liquid. Additionally, the combustion process doesn't emit smoke, soot, or ash. This revolutionary technology makes Neo Burner especially beneficial in cities and countries with CO2 emission restrictions, whilst providing complete installation freedom without chimney requirements. Combined with 2 flame height stages, integrated control panel, and dedicated casing, Neo delivers premium automatic bioethanol fire with maximum safety.
Neo Burner features 2 flame height stages optimized for efficient operation. Lower eco mode extends burning time for longer enjoyment—the 750mm model provides up to 6 hours, the longest in the Neo range. Higher mode delivers stronger heat outputs from 4.1-5.9kW depending on model size for effective room warming. This 2-stage system is simpler than Prime Fire 2.0 (3 stages) or FLA4/Comet (6 stages) but provides excellent flexibility for most needs. Adjust between stages using the integrated control panel with intuitive design or included remote control. The microprocessor manages combustion parameters automatically ensuring optimal performance at each stage.
Neo Burner is available in three sizes. The 500mm model with 1.3L capacity provides up to 4 hours burning and 4.1kW heat for rooms around 41m³, weighing 10.1kg. The 750mm model with 2.1L capacity provides up to 6 hours burning and 4.1kW heat for rooms around 41m³, weighing 14.3kg. The flagship 1000mm model with 2.9L capacity provides up to 4 hours burning and 5.9kW heat for rooms around 59m³, weighing 18.5kg. All feature durable galvanised steel construction, integrated control panel, remote control, dedicated casing, and black powder coating finish. Made in Poland with premium quality. Choose based on your space dimensions and heat output requirements.
Neo Burner includes dedicated casing allowing almost immediate installation in any interior. Whilst not designed as portable (it requires 230V mains electricity connection), the installation is significantly simpler than traditional fireplaces requiring no chimney, flue, or extensive construction work. Professional installation recommended to ensure proper setup and safety, though the dedicated casing and included mounting components simplify the process considerably. Once installed, the unit remains in place like a traditional fireplace. For truly portable bioethanol options, consider Planika's standalone fire pits or table-top models. Neo provides permanent installation convenience with traditional fireplace presence whilst eliminating wood-burning complexity.
Neo Burner requires minimal maintenance. Refill bioethanol fuel as needed—tank capacities from 1.3-2.9L provide 4-6 hours burning depending on model and flame setting. No wood means no chopping, storage, or constant tending. No smoke means no chimney sweeping or annual flue inspections. No soot or ash eliminates daily cleaning tasks. Occasionally wipe down external surfaces with a soft cloth. The microprocessor and safety sensors are self-monitoring. Galvanised steel construction ensures years of reliable operation without degradation. Toughened glass components maintain clarity without special cleaning. Made in Poland with premium quality for longevity. Perfect for homeowners wanting authentic fire without traditional fireplace maintenance burden and mess.
