Ralph. I spent last Sunday night in a&e with my eldest with carbon monoxide poisoning. He'd been sat at his dads house with a faulty gas fire.

If it hasn't been used, the flue probably needs a good clean. My father is a retired plumbing and heating enginer with many apprentices under his belt and was sat with us on Sunday, he takes this sort if matter seriously.

Don't use the damn thing, until you have had it thoroughly checked.
