What options for fireplace/chimney?

longwalks1 · 2016-12-10 13:22:01

Was thinking of fitting a wood burning stove in our 1930's semi last year, but after thinking of the cost and work involved and the fact we would have to buy the wood or coal to burn, I'm having second thoughts, so wondering what other options are there? Not too fussed on it actually providing heat, so what could we put in…

I always wanted a log burner but in this house it wasn't possible. We bought a Calor gas heater, designed to look like a log burner. It's fooled a few people!

It gives out a lot of heat, plus there's the benefit of paying for the fuel before you use it.

Have a look on the Calor gas site, thee's some really good ones there/
