Electric fireplaces... The modern type, like below. Are they shit? Do they actually kick out heat? Do they use the chimney?

I'd like a focal point that's not a telly when I do my lounge, but not sure I want with the hassle/expense/mess/smoke of a wood burner

Is it basically a telly that only shows one channel? (No heat)

Also vaguely looking at these and bio-ethanol burners.

Bio-ethanol don't kick out much heat but look nice (can be like a wood burner) and don't need to be attached to anything. If you need a lot of heat they won't cut it though.

Already got central heating, so the heat is actually not a huge concern. A little top-up would be nice on cold evenings.

Cheers, will look in to that.

bio-ethanol

Anyone have any experience of these? Very tempted by their cheapness, ease of installation and lack of pollution.
