with cast iron objects) , the door does not actually open, and the fan heater is cleverly disguised under the base of the oven, so as to be almost unnoticeable. Obviously this would also be a much safer option than candles or a real log fire with little ones about, as there no open flames or apertures for those inquisitive little fingers??.

Advantages: Hydronic Stove, Thermostat controlled, Optiflame Log Effect, Up To 4Kw Heat Output Disadvantages: None
The Dimplex Hydronic Stove MIR40 is a stylish flame effect fire place. A friend had this fitted in last year and it looks really good. This fireplace is a modern freestanding electric stove with hydronic heat exchanger.
The actual fireplace should be professionally fitted, in my friends case the place he bought it from included free fitting so that was ideal. The good thing about this fireplace is that there's no need to knock out your fireplace to fit this in. This electric fire requires a 13amp socket to plug into when installing it and the heat is provided by a fan heater and hydronic heat exchanger. The maximum heat output (electric fan) high 2Kw and 2Kw hydronic heat exchanger makes a total of 4Kw overall heat output.

Having always wanted a 'real' fire, but not having a chimney in my appartment, i was very impressed with just how realistic the flame effect was on this unit. Of course when you take a close look, you can tell it is not a real cast iron stove, but it certainly gives that real fire feeling to a room, even without the heater element switched on.
I saw one on offer at a local DIY store, and so i bought one for myself based on what i had seen of my mothers.
The constuction is of a plastic coated sheet steel, which does a reasonable job of imitating Black cast iron finish, but it wont maintain its illusion on any close examination. The brass fittings are quite plastic looking ...
