Have a Google for Rumford Fireplaces, they're open but designed to use the heat far more effectively.

I just had a quick look through a trade mag, try the below link too. I think this is the sort of thing you were originally talking about.

According to their ad in the mag they are 'leading manufacturer of high definition decorative ceramics to the fireplace industry'. What more do you want?

Those look great.

Even if it wasn't dangerous it would smell so I don't think I'd want to do it.

Well I also would have thought it would smell, but this one doesn't, it's just warm air. It was already installed in the house so I've no idea if you'd be allowed to put one in today. As long as the joint between the flue and the flue liner was good, there shouldn't be any fumes.

Well if you're set on having an open fire why not go to an architectural salvage place and get a decent Victorian fireplace complete with a lovely cast-iron hoop and a mantle and hearth?

Have a gliff at the Fireplace Warehouse in Burnley website.

They do don't they? Typical that a British-invented product is now becoming popular in the US and not here as I could only seem to find one UK-based installer whereas there were several over the pond. Maybe I'll have to change careers..........
