Hope someone can help....im having my existing chimney bricked up/plastered......and im thinking of getting a plasma Gas fire, wall-hung flueless. I wanted to know if its ok in a 11' x 12' room?

You may be very lucky to get an opinion. I know a lot of gas fitters who won't touch the things.

Sorry.

HI,Thanks for the info,can you explain more when you say that there rubbish?

The reason I said "I know a lot of gas fitters who won't touch the things" is because they think they are dangerous and don't want to be associated with them.

Does that give you a better clue?

Cheers

By Rubish he probably means potentialy dangerous! They have a Catalitic type converter in them to clean up the products of combustion and not poisen you.
Your car also has a Catalitic convertor, would you back your car up to your lounge pipe the exhaust in and run it fot a couple of hours?
Dont fancy that myself.
