yes as long as local codes do not outlaw
Yes. Burning anything pollutes, but the uncontrolled burning in fireplaces is worse than average.

Gas fireplaces are a popular item in homes across America. There are several differences between gas fireplaces and traditional wood-burning fireplaces. Gas fireplaces can increase the heating efficiency of a home. There are several types of gas furnaces on the market but according to Bob Vila, direct-vented gas fireplaces are the most efficient type of gas fireplace
Gas fireplace starters are more convenient and cleaner than traditional wood-burning fireplaces. They are easier to start, require less maintenance, and produce less smoke and ash. Additionally, gas fireplaces are more energy-efficient and can be controlled with a switch or remote, providing a more controlled and consistent heat source.
Laws vary place to place. In areas such as Colorado that have VERY bad winter air quality, no additional solid fuel burning fireplaces can be built, and days that you are allowed to burn are set by local govt. Check with yours.
If one would prefer not to go to the expense of having a mason build a brick fireplace, it is possible to purchase a wood burning fireplace and have it professionally installed. There are fireplace stores such as Woodland Direct and Napoleon Fireplaces sell them, as do home improvement stores like Home Depot.
yes burning stuff is pollution in it self
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.
Some alternative heating options to a traditional fireplace include electric fireplaces, gas fireplaces, wood stoves, pellet stoves, and radiant heaters. These options provide efficient and convenient ways to heat a space without the need for a traditional wood-burning fireplace.

Never believe anything a salesman tells you.
Oak, ash, black locust, osage orange. Hickory is good but pops a lot. Poplar, cottonwood and any evergreen will burn VERY fast.
