Alchemy: the art of fire
At the heart of every mantel is the fire itself, but in today's busy world many people simply don't have the time to build and tend a real fire. A gas log effect fire can provide the answer, offering immediate enjoyment of the beauty and warmth of a real fire at the flick of a switch.

Following an exhaustive programme of research and development, Chesney's is manufacturing a unique range of gas fires to suit its fireplaces. Its new Alchemy range of gas fires successfully combines the latest technology with a design aesthetic that places the product far ahead of the competition in terms of both beauty and functionality. A gas fire from Chesney's Alchemy range is an outstanding piece of engineering with every fire undergoing a rigorous build and performance process. The research engineers in our in-house laboratory have used the very latest technology to create a product that is unique in both its functionality and appearance. |
Following endless experiments, flame patterns that are both generous and realistic have been achieved. With any gas appliance safety is of paramount importance. An Alchemy gas fire incorporates both a flame failure device and an oxygen depletion sensor. The Alchemy range has been tested and certified by the American and Canadian testing authorities and our rigorous quality control systems to ensure that all our appliances conform to regulatory standards. |
Our aim is to create a range of fires that look as much as possible like the real thing. Each log is vacuum cast from an original piece of charred timber and individually hand painted to look as authentic as possible. All Alchemy gas fires are operated by permanent pilot hand help remote control. |
