The most common mistake made by consumers is going for a fire with a too high a capacity, and subsequently, they can only use the fire sparingly or burn at a low temperature as the room would become too hot. When this mistake occurs with wood-fired stoves and heaters, it results in poor combustion, high emission and blackened glass. There is a simple calculation that can be done

These fires are therefore extremely versatile, much more so than traditional gas fires. Sometimes known as ‘closed combustion’ gas appliances because they contain combustion within a closed system, balanced flue gas fires are always glass-fronted units. This arrangement not only warms the room more economically (air and gas circulate behind heat-resistant glass with
