    If you have a new build with an electric fireplace and no chimney, is there any way to install a solid fuel burning fireplace?

    Failing that can a gas one with real flames be installed somehow?

    Thanks

    You'll need to put in a flue/chimney to burn solid fuel.

    Super Ser type gas heaters don't need a chimney but I wouldn't recommend one - you're better off with the electricity.

    Is it for heat or just looks?

    Reason im asking is If you have a new airtight build, you really dont want to go messing with that.
    It will change a cozy draft free room to the one thats not as comfortable.

    For looks and ambience. We've always loved having a fire going in winter.

    I believe stoves now don't let so much heat out so I'd consider something like that instead of an inefficient regular fireplace.

    You could put in a stove and run the flue on the outside wall in stainless steel or black enamel
