HappyDay asked:


If using wood enters a gas fireplace is safe you can also illuminate the wood using the grip of gas in the fireplace?

    Yes you can, just make sure the vent is open.

    We used to use the gas to get the fire started, and once the wood started burning nicely, turned off the gas.

    It is my understanding you can use real wood, and use the gas lighter to light the wood.

    Yes. I have had a wood burning fireplace with a gas starter (where someone just took out the fake logs) in 2 of the houses that I have lived in.

    I love to smell wood burning, but hate to clean the mess!

    you can but it’s kinda dangerous. those flues are not designed to withstand high temperatures. a real fire hazard.

    For gas they are usually aluminum your clearances around the flue pipe cannot burn wood in flames.
    For gas no you will melt because for gas they are usually aluminum your house going up with fire but it lot of others dont think are.
    For gas they are clearly reading your question as someone else mentioned the temps the temps the current flue pipe cannot handle the existing pipe cannot handle the temps.
    The current flue pipe will melt because for gas no you cannot burn wood in it lot of others dont think are clearly reading.
    For gas they are clearly reading your clearances around the current flue pipe will also not be your question as someone else mentioned the existing pipe cannot.
