Personally I wouldn't as unless you are always going to use the fire and heating together then your radiator would be undersized.
"Sizing room for radiators"
Do you really want to start with a radiator and the build a suitable size room around it???
Most people start with a room and use calculations or rule of thumb to decide what rad size is needed.
Last year this fellow came into the merchant and wanted a rad to fit a certain sized room. The staff got out his Mears slide calculator, Dan got his laptop and I thought about it in my head!
Dan and I were within 5% and the Mears was about 10% higher, later Dan hired the staff member.
