Yeah. No offence to your OH, but that is an exceptionally shit idea.
We used to only have a gas fire in the sitting room. We haven't had it on since we got a rad in that room.
- a faff to turn on/off
- you only turn it on when you're in the room so it gets cold and takes longer to heat
- creates a safety risk
- can't leave young kids on their own in there - a faff to clean all the little rocks, then put them back in the right order
- relatively expensive
I mean we managed for 6yrs with it. But it's definitely a shitter option all round. We inherited it, so that's fine. But spending your own money to put one in is mental.

I think I am losing this one, hoping to win the electric vs gas fire argument for the lounge. We have no chimney /no gas line to lounge and are having a fitted wall unit, so gas will be very expensive .
