Yes, efficient also. Keep animals and small children away from fireplace when lit for safety reasons.
NO. Vented and unvented gas burners and logs are completely different in design and usage.
Something like half of gas fireplaces run on propane. There are two major gases used in gas fireplaces. The cheaper is natural gas, while the more expensive is propane.
When natural gas burns "completely," carbon dioxide and water is created as the byproduct. This is safe if vented directly to the atmosphere, however, if a gas appliance is not venting properly the carbon dioxide may displace the oxygen in an enclosed space creating a hazard of asphyxiation. Also, if the flame is impinged, or prevented from completing combustion, soot, carbon monoxide and aldehydes are formed.
Natural gas is abundent, cheap, clean, and relatively safe.
It is fairly safe for use in homes.
Usually refers to a gas fireplace, since wood fireplaces are vented by the flue (chimney) Gas fireplaces can be vented (flue) or unvented (no flue)
Gas fireplaces are a popular item in homes across America. There are several differences between gas fireplaces and traditional wood-burning fireplaces. Gas fireplaces can increase the heating efficiency of a home. There are several types of gas furnaces on the market but according to Bob Vila, direct-vented gas fireplaces are the most efficient type of gas fireplace
Natural gas or Propane
All unvented gas logs must have a safety pilot. Also all vented gas logs that are for propane must have a safety pilot. Vented gas logs that use Natural gas do not require safety pilots as the pressure is half that of propane although I would still recommend safety pilots on all installs.

No. The safe and proper application of FireCrystals is in fully vented, fireplace (open to room air and vented through the roof) with a gas supply of preferably natural gas, although propane can be adapted with the proper hardware. Exceptions may apply.
First you must figure out if is a vented or non vented gas logs. Also you must inspect you fireplace to make sure it can use gas logs. Most fireplaces can use gas logs so you shouldn't face many changes.
