LP and Natural Gas burners usually have a different orifice size, due to different heat values between the two fuels. Check with your local gas service company, and see if the orifice (that's the part with the tiny hole in it) can be changed on your logs.

What is better a gas fireplace or a normal fireplace?
Normal Fire Place because you don't have to waste money to burn it! Would you like to pay 50.00 for gas or pay 0.00 for gas!Irvs12 **That is partially true. You can use a fireplace with a gas supply to burn natural gas under log looking fireplace decoration. That is expensive. You can also use the gas burner to ignite actual logs you place above the gas flame. That's just an easy way to light your fireplace.

How much does it cost to convert a wood burning fireplace to a gas fireplace?
It is not as bad as you think, the most difficult part is deciding whether to keep it as a gas fireplace or a wood burning fireplace with a gas lighter; so you can have both. Decide the gas to be used, Natural gas or LP (pretty much determined by what is already available) The fireplace itself needs little modification except the gas supply and available electrical circuit (depending what type/style gas fireplace you want.) If you decide on gas with artificial logs, then running black pipe to copper lines is all you need. If you are going to burn gas and use wood then run black pipe throughout (remember to use a cement product, for high heat, to seal any new whole in the fireplace.) Note: Either way you decide thoroughly clean the chimney and fireplace and inspect the doors, damper, flue, and look for cracks in the fireplace. I mention this because it is probably the last time you will need to do that. I have converted fireplaces in both ways; gas to wood burner and wood burner to gas. The insert is the biggest expense you will have, you can easily spend $600 on just those parts; not installed. And please don't forget to install and easily accessible gas shutoff valve.
Do all gas fireplaces have a pilot?
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.

Can you use real logs in a gas fireplace?
Simple answer: No. Complex version: No freakin' way. That's a great way to burn your house down, give yourself carbon monoxide poisoning, or at least ruin the fireplace. It's not designed to burn any fuel but gas. Any number of things could go wrong if you put wood in there.
What is fuel for fireplace?
Natural wood is the best fuel for a fireplace. Large logs are typically considered the fuel for a fire, but in order to get the fire started, you need some smaller pieces of wood, called kindling. A great way to go for easy fire starting with natural wood is to use fatwood kindling that has tree resin in it, which allows it to ignite easily.
Can wood be used in a gas equipped fireplace?
Depends- some as "gas assist"- a woodburning fireplace with gas jets- you can use either. Some are gas only- never meant to burn wood. Which do you have?
