I've bought a fireplace off Ebay similar to the one in this link
http://www.galleryfireplaces.co.uk/show_product.php?from_flash=1&prod...
and plan to fit it myself.
I only want it for decorative purposes but I'm interested to know if
it's possible to actually use it for solid fuel which may be
beneficial when I come to sell the house.
The reason why it may not be suitable is that the actual insert sits
7.5cm proud of the wall so to 'seal' it and prevent smoke escaping I'd
have to lay a line of bricks around the fireplace opening and then fit
the insert against that.
Or am I missing something?
