Marvin, not sure why you askig CCS question in Disc box. I've already said this can be a gas coal or log fire

They are known as "gas coal or log-effect fires" (or "stoves") so if you know from your ontext this is definitely a log fire you can put that. Coal effect would be more common in UK and other places as the traditional fire ws coal, so it depends on your mrket as to which it is more lkely to be.
