Many of our fireplace packages are available with a choice of fuel options. Depending on the fireplace, you may be able to choose a decorative damper flap, solid fuel kit, deeper solid fuel back, Nu-Flame gas fire, SLE35i electric fire or bioethanol burner. Not every option is available with every fireplace, so check the individual product page before ordering.
Decorative Damper Flap
A decorative damper flap is used when the fireplace will not be connected to a working fire. It fits inside the cast iron insert and completes its traditional appearance, but it is for decorative use onlyit doesn’t have a grate it literally closes off the chimney.
Solid Fuel Kit
Choose the solid fuel kit if you would like to use the fireplace for a real fire. The kit includes the working parts required inside the cast iron fireplace, including the grate and ashpan. You will need a working chimney or suitable flue, which should be checked before installation.
Deeper Back for Solid Fuel
Selected fireplace packages can be supplied with a deeper cast iron back. This increases the depth of the fire area by around 50mm, giving you more space for logs. It is supplied with the correct solid fuel kit, so the parts do not need to be ordered separately. The deeper back is not available with every cast iron insert.
Nu-Flame Gas Fire
The Nu-Flame gas fire is designed to fit inside our Gallery cast iron fireplaces. It provides a living flame with decorative coals and has a heat output of around 2kW. Nu-Flame fires are available for suitable Class 1 and Class 2 flues. A gas supply and suitable chimney or flue will be required. The fire must be fitted by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
SLE35i Electric Fire
The SLE35i electric fire is made to fit behind many of our cast iron inserts. It projects a glowing flame pattern onto the cast iron back and includes a decorative fuel bed. The flame effect can be used without heat, with optional heat provided by the fan heater. A working chimney or gas supply is not required. However, space is needed behind the insert, so this option is not normally suitable for fitting directly against a flat wall.
Bioethanol Fire
Bioethanol gives you a real flame without requiring a working chimney, flue or gas supply. Our fireplace packages use the Bioethanol Conversion Kit for Gallery Fireplaces. The burner has a stand and frame tapered to fit our Gallery cast iron fireplaces. No separate grate is needed, and the correct tray is supplied to suit the fireplace you choose. Although bioethanol is flueless, traditional cast iron packages still require space behind the insert. They are therefore not suitable for fitting directly against a completely flat wall. Always follow the instructions supplied with the burner. Never refill it while it is alight or still warm.
