gas fires for all surely cheaper and more efficient

Gas may well be cheaper for you but in my case wood is the only ecconomic heating medium available. Night time tempratures here are often a couple of degrees below zero and bottled gas at $120 for 45L bottle it would almost be cheaper to burn $20 notes. Electricity is the other option but Air conditioners can't cope with the low outside tempratures. I have a LP gas heater which used 2 bottles of gas a week just to heat my living area and only for a few hours a day.
Wood is the go for me.
