We need to replace our ancient inset gas fire.
I would like to open up the fireplace and get a gas stove, but not sure if this can be done (we do have a chimney breast and stack). However, I'm told that we will need the chimney lined for a gas stove, which will likely add a few £££ to the job. Does anyone know if this is right?
I understand that if we just get a new inset fire, it will be just a case of replacing it and nothing needs doing to the chimney.
We really like the look of an inglenook with a stove, but I'm not sure it's worth the mess, hassle and expense when it would be much more straightforward to get a new inset fire.
Anyone done anything similar or any advice?
Thanks
