Why?
A gas/electric fire can never be the same as a real one IMO.
I'm in a similar situation as the OP although I do have a chimney. I know a gas/electric fire would be cheaper and less hassle, but I wouldn't consider it.
You're choosing between a real fire and a fake fire. Whatever the advantages, a fake fire is never going to be as nice.0 -

True. You don't need to go out and chop wood, sweep the chimney or dust twice as often with gas coals!
Don't get me wrong, I like our wood burner. I live in a rural property and it fits with the lifestyle, but I had a great gas coal fire before, and if I had that option at the same price, I'd have it back.0
