Gel type "real" fires...any experience

[mulranno]

...has anyone got or seen those gel type real fires...are they expensive to run? -- do they give out any heat? ...need a flue...? or a waste of time...?

I have one! They do give of quiet a bit of heat and can smell a little (put in essential oils and is fine), also crackles like a real fire. A gel tin lasts about 5 hours (each bottle of gel lasts 15 hours.

Been fine for us but don't have it on often.

Forgot to say there is a pic on my profile of the fire in full flame :)
