Defintely agree 
Friends of my parents tried to put in an open fire by themselves over summer (so it was ready for winter) without an approved engineer - the husband ended up in hospital with mild carbon monoxide poisoning apparently.  |

I love toasting toast on a real fire. it tastes the best. I used to hate cleaning out the fireplace at my last house, but once the fire was lit - nothing cosier!  |

The draw back with real open fires is the mess. Cleaning out the grate and building a fire is dirty and time consuming. My mum had to do this every morning when I was little as all we had in the entire house was an open fire.
I've got the best of both worlds. Central heating and a bioethanol fire in the lounge. So it's a real fire without the mess and smoke. And the chimney won't ever need sweeping. Very cosy in the winter. |
