    False breast?

    If I want to get a 'real' gas fire, and I don't have a flue, do I need to build a false chimney breast? It would go on the gable end wall, so getting a flue above roof height is probably a non starter. Guess I'm looking at a balanced flue - but was hoping for a wall mounted fire. What's the deal?

    Think you can fan it outside, as long as the outside bit has a mesh cover to stop idiots touching it

    You will need an air vent though - and they are bollox in winter - I put a slat grate on mine to close it off - which is v.naughty
    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

      Oh & if you go for a balanced flue then the thingy on the outside + the wire basket for the thingy will be a lot bigger

              Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

              No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

                  You can buy Flueless gas fires, they use the air from in the Room, you will need a vent in the wall though to bring air in.

                  you could also vent it out the gable wall using 128mm flue, your allowed up to 2 45degree bends so you could go 45 degrees straight out the top through the wall and up

                  check these guys out, very helpful they should be able to tell you what you can/can't do
