Coals don't effect the heat as such , might need To be serviced

While coals on a gas fire may seem very simple and basic to remove, replace etc it is and extremely important part of the fire make up. If the coal matrix is not placed as per the manufacturers instructions you can cause high CO production, sooting of the fire, and possibly spillage (leakage) of these products into the room, not up the chimney/flue as intended. Please proceed with caution.
