We used to live in a house where the fire was served by gas as opposed to solid fuel and we always felt there was a gas/charcoal type smell in the room.We subsequently moved and now have a closed in gas fire with a 2 way balanced flue and low and behold we still think there is a smell in the room.It is not gas per se but it does not make you feel comfortable that it is all ok.We recently got the oil boiler serviced and hope to get this fire serviced next.It is only a year old.The vents in the room seem to be a new type whereby they are over the windows and built in to these.There are three of them.The former owners had stressed the importance of leaving these open when the fire is on and we are only now reading more into this.The same supplier was used for our old house fire and this new one and we did not find them helpful with the last house.We have young children and do not want them breathing in anything unsavioury.Any suggestions would be appreciated.We have recently changed over to a new bottle of gas with the 2 way transfer system.
