first off you need to turn off the gas then, cap the gas line then remove the gas line and the vent pipes up in the chimney, then remove the insert or gas log, then install damper doors, put on a suitable door to the fireplace, and put a basket in the fireplace to hold the wood The above paragraph assumes that the fireplace was originally a wood burning fireplace that was retrofit to accommodate a gas fireplace insert and in that circumstance the information is accurate. However, if the fireplace was originally designed as a gas appliance it cannot be converted to solid fuel ( wood ).
Bad themocouple. Have gas appliance repair check and replace it. They wear out.
As much as I enjoy "Do it yourself" projects, this is probably not one well suited to that. It will be necessary to run gas lines, and possibly make changes to the draft system on the fireplace. This should be be left to a professional from a gas utility service company, who knows the building codes you must comply with when installing a gas appliance.
YES, you could use those little tanks for a fireplace (providing you have the proper adapter and gas regulator. BUT it won't work for more than a couple hours. The BTU output is to great for such a small canister and the pressure drop causing carbon monoxide (from the fireplace).
what is the question, you don't put anything in a gas fireplace, especially wood, gas comes from the gas line coming in to the fireplace
Some of the benefits of a wood burning fireplace include the lower cost of heating a home versus the cost of gas. Wood is also considered a renewable resource so it could be argued is better for the environment than the fossil fuel of gas.
buy a new fireplace.
Check with your gas appliance service company. With most gas burning appliances, it is necessary to change the size of the jet. IF the maker has a correct sized jet, it could likely be converted to NG.
The typical price of corner gas fireplaces can range from $1,000 to $5,000, depending on factors such as brand, size, materials, and features. Installation costs should also be considered when budgeting for a corner gas fireplace.
Device called a thermocouple. Turns off the gas if it does not sense a flame. Check with your local gas appliance repair company, have them replace. Fairly cheap item, and they DO go bad.
Is there any video on how to replace a thermocouple on a gas fireplace
