Description
One fire, two rooms: the Chad-O-Chef Double Sided fits through a wall so the lounge on one side and the dining or kitchen area on the other both share the flames and the warmth. As an LPG gas fireplace with no flue, there is no chimney to build, and it suits open-plan homes or spaces split by a single wall.
Chad-O-Chef Double Sided Gas Fireplace Features
Two sizes, two outputs
The fireplace comes in an 800 mm model at 9kW and a 1000 mm model at 10.6kW. The larger one is rated to heat up to 131 m², or about 416 m³ of room volume, which covers a big open-plan living area. Both are 60 cm wide and 25 cm high, with a depth of 107 cm or 122 cm depending on the size.
A flueless gas fireplace that is simple to run
Because it is flueless, all of the heat stays in the home. A piezo spark lights the burner and there are no logs to carry or ash to sweep. An ODS (oxygen depletion sensor) safety system shuts the gas off if oxygen in the room drops too low.
Finish options
The standard frame is brushed stainless steel, or you can choose a bold black mild steel frame. White pebbles come as standard, and black coals or fire glass are available if you prefer a different look. Chad-O-Chef backs the unit with a two-year quality guarantee.
Is this two-room gas fire right for your home?
It works best where one wall separates two living spaces you use together. Flueless units need a room of a minimum size and some fresh air, so we check your room volume and ventilation before you order. Our guide on double sided gas fireplaces covers the pros and cons, and you can compare the full Chad o Chef range and our other gas fireplaces.
Installation in Cape Town
The unit is built into an opening in a double brick wall, with a little allowance for screed on each side. The opening needs two load-bearing lintels above it. A registered gas installer must connect it, and our gas fireplace installation team handles the building work, the gas line and the certificate of conformity.
Double Sided FAQs
Does a flueless gas fireplace smell or make the room stuffy?
Running on clean LPG, a well-set flueless unit gives very little smell. It does use room air, so a slightly open window or vent keeps the air fresh, and the ODS cuts the gas if oxygen drops.
Can it go in a drywall?
It is designed for a double brick wall with lintels above the opening. If your dividing wall is a drywall, we will talk you through building a suitable surround first.
