You mean a catalytic one?

Yep, got one.

Chucks out lots of heat, works well but you do need ventilation in the room as you do get water vapour as a by-product

yeah had a couple, as above really

they look nice and chuck out a load of heat, as pan rider mentioned you need a vent

the last one I had needed a 100cm vent, only problem I found was that in winter the vent made the room cold, you also could hear people walking past chatting and it made a noise in strong winds. I believe you can get vents with baffles in that might reduce the noise some what

Thanks guys.. Yes I think they are all catalytic. I spotted a couple of SMEG branded ones on ebay but I think they are Focal Point rebrands.

I have a (2 brick!) vent already for the open flue Baxi Bermuda that is now decommissioned and yes the wind does howl through so it is currently taped up.
I read that some have oxy sensors that cut it out if there's not enough air supply which I doubt will be an issue on my case since there's no
door on the knock through kitchen/diner to the hall/stairs etc.. (30s design semi).

Condensation is a concern since there no flue for the products of combustion - you might think there'd be one to buy with a built-in condenser..

Has Sir considered a bio ethanol burner???

They don't have to look out of place unless they in a $15million Manhattan bedsit, nor do they have to look like Al Pacino's cauldron in The Devils Advocate.

No flue required, totally smokeless & you don't notice any room aroma unless you walk into one from outside.

Butler Towers has a snug / reading area by a BIG window where we opened up the old fireplace but left the flue blocked, placed a purpose 1l built tank inside a cast iron grate & smothered that with the type of logs you find in gaslog fires.

Kicks out about 1kw of heat on the few occasions I light it & it's only purpose is to provide the ambience of a natural flame, which it does quite well.
