Since a malfunction could, in theory, blow up your house, set it on fire, or kill you from monoxide poisoning, I think it would be high on my "Important" list.
Furnace it has to reach much higher temperatures than the fireplace
Check the prices of propane and natural gas where you are. That will be the deciding factor.
buy a new fireplace.
No chimney required
My personal experiene with using propane on my fireplace is that it is a lot cheaper than electricity. However, it is not as cheap as gas.

Fireplace propane if used correctly should pose no higher fire risk than a fireplace that doesn't use propane. But as with any other fireplace you should take the required precautions to insure the fire risk is low. Propane is heavier than air, and extra precautions should be used anytime propane is used indoors at a level higher than the lowest level of the structure. That is, if a basement is present, propane used on the first floor creates a risk if not properly monitored.
You can purchase a propane fireplace insert at most home good stores such as; Lowe's and Home Depot. These places have consultants you can speak with about the right insert for your home.
Two good brands that I know of are Regency and Vanguard. Your best options would be to purchase the propane fireplace insert at Lowe's, Home Depot or your local home and garden center.
Haha, I would stand back if you do!
Too broad a question. Need BTUs of heater + how many hours running per day to answer.
Not a good idea. People that designed your gas fireplace did not design it to have a separate heat source in there with the gas piping and controls.
It can- but propane and natural gas have different heat values- check with your gas company to see if yours can be converted SAFELY.
