Note that all wall vented fires will come with a "for decorative purposes only" or similar disclaimer. You are literally blowing the heat out of the house. Probably about as efficient as a patio heater.

You can buy Flueless gas fires, they use the air from in the Room, you will need a vent in the wall though to bring air in.

you could also vent it out the gable wall using 128mm flue, your allowed up to 2 45degree bends so you could go 45 degrees straight out the top through the wall and up

check these guys out, very helpful they should be able to tell you what you can/can't do

Contemporary Fireplace, Flueless Gas Fires, Balanced Flue, Ethanol Fires

Oh & if you go for a balanced flue then the thingy on the outside + the wire basket for the thingy will be a lot bigger

Think you can fan it outside, as long as the outside bit has a mesh cover to stop idiots touching it

You will need an air vent though - and they are bollox in winter - I put a slat grate on mine to close it off - which is v.naughty
