gas coal basket for fireplace

Hi, anybody have a recommendation for one of these. Wife likes the look and my back fireplace is currently not used. Example: http://www.efireplacestore.com/fsd-obco19p1f.html

Thank you

I dont have the fireplace place coal basket. But I do have the cast Iron gas (natural) gas stove coal affect 20,000 buts that get used every day. It has 19 single coals in it. Ive had if for about 6 years now. It heats really good.I really like it. Its looks like you are burning real coal. the coals glow red orange an the flames wiggles up threw the coals and flicher yellow and blue. See avitar.It has a metal. heat exchanger in it with a glass window for viewing in the door.

Thanks, would you mind posting a link to your stove?

Internet direct merchaint USA http://www.woodstoves.net/ ask for Aneete toll free State Montana USA. Hearth net. approved .

Mfg. http://esse.com/ Click on stoves gas. Britain made. There is 2 models for the gas coal effect. They still send the wood cooker over to The usa I dont know about the gas stoves. You would have to call woodstoves.net (Obadiahs) and ask Aneete I bought the last one in the USA. its was new 1979 model.Vista.Left in a ware house in PA. USA Bought it about 6 years ago from Obadiahs.

Here is a video of one of Esse gas coal effect stove burning u tube. Short video by Esse. So you can get an idea what fire will look like. I would think the coal basket would look about the same.

thanks a lot - that is a nice looking stove

That's kinda cool, though a real coal stove burns with mostly blue flames once it gets going (at least mine does). But it makes me wonder: are or were baskets like that used to burn coal in a wood fireplace? If so, that could solve the all night burn (or lack thereof) problem in my cabin fireplace...

It depends on the real coal. Hard coal burns blue flames and soft coal burns yellow flames. Soft coal is real sooty gets all over the place and out side. Utah has soft coal which can't burn any more. epa reg. I have a real coal basket for the fire place.The coal baskets are British Victorian .
