RE: No chimney!
Open fires are horribly inefficient, which was OK when half the UK was forest but not much use now. Stoves are much better, 80% efficiency is possible versus the 35% of the open fire.

To improve things even further look for a stove with an external air supply, this is a pipe from outside the house that brings the air needed for combustion straight to the stove instead of through the room you are sitting in. It means you can draughtproof the house really well.
