We are moving at christmas and our new lounge has an open fireplace, which I am assured is not blocked up, although I will get that confirmed by a chimney sweep.
We would like some form of fire, but not an open fire or a gas fire. We were thinking of getting one of those solid-fuel burning or wood burning stoves.
Does anyone have one? Are they very messy? are they expensive to run?
All advice greatly appreciated
thank you
