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!

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.
