We have gas central heating, but also to suppliment the cosy atmosphere of our main lounge we have an enamelled modern wood burning stove. The same will apply to our new home we are buying: the Georgian mansion situated a bit ouit of town, but the exception being its wood burning stove is early 19th century, and enamelled in pale blue which very attractive. Incidentally ether properties have gas stoves in the kitchen. I may be a lousy cook, but I love cooking on gas because we have more control.

Thank you for this topic, @HappyCrafter It's most interesting!
