Propane (liquid petroleum - LP) Depending on several things is the most costly of fuels so as I recently finished this type of project; I can give you first hand info.
The fireplace Installed was a "zero clearance" unit capable of log burning. The Unit was initially set to be used with gas logs, which I wished to convert to a wood burner with a gas "log lighter." The propane was costing me approx. 1 1/2 times the amount of gas I am currently using and I am having more fires (yes you do have to do more work and there is wood expense etc.) But you can't beat the crackle of a real wood fire.
If you are considering a gas fireplace with LP, you may have to consider the type of unit you install, I would consider a unit that is capable of wood burning; that way you at least will have the option at a future date. Good Luck!

All fireplaces are not the same. Some use wood, others use gas. Propane can be used in certain cases so your answer would be yes. Keep in mind that this is not always the case.
No chimney required
ZERO! you don't use propane you use C02.
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.
The cost of propane fireplaces varies tremendously with design, but the average cost is around $800. Stores such as Northern Tool and Ktonic appear to offer the best prices.
The majority use liquid propane, and some are hooked into the home's natural gas line.Natural, Propane, Charcoal fuel.
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.
Haha, I would stand back if you do!
no
no
Natural gas or Propane
I would not use propane. Green gas has a lubricant in it to help keep the unit running smothly
