Gas fires that look like wood burners

As it says in the title really. Does anyone know if there are any gas fires that look like wood burners.

The house we are hoping to buy is to be renovated and we are trying to get ideas for a gas fire. I know from experience that those behind glass are more heat efficient than a basket type or inset type.

Not really sure what we want but thought we'd see if there are any like wood burners. Having had wood burners on holiday we don't want the real thing!

    Im currently shopping for a multi fuel stove, there is an unbelieveable amount of choice! There are gas versions available, try here for example - its just one of many many sites out there:-

    Oooh, thank you! I've been googling but up to now hadn't found anything. Probably putting the wrong description in, had only got as far as "gas fires". Many thanks.

    lol - I used to end up at alot of cooker sites - I use Gas stoves or multi-fuel stoves as keywords - alot of the solid/multi stoves sites do have gas ones as well.
    I'm also in the process of renovatting and Ive removed the old stove and want to replace with a multifuel one. I bit spoilt for choice! I'm now looking at ones with backboilers as a possibility.
