There can be little else more inviting and comforting than the warmth and glow of a real coal fire inside a traditional cast-iron fireplace. The Industrial Revolution launched the robust, practical yet stylish cast-iron fireplace and it still remains with us today. The use of an open coal fire, however, having declined in our towns and cities due to environmental concerns, has been replaced by the cleaner and more convenient gas fire. These gas fires succeeded in looking very realistic but gave out precious little in the way of heat with an efficiency of around 25% (75% of the heat going straight up the chimney).
