Yes, you can burn man-made logs, such as compressed sawdust logs or eco-friendly fire logs, in a wood stove, provided that the stove is designed for such materials. It's essential to check the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure compatibility, as some stoves may be optimized for traditional firewood. Additionally, burning man-made logs can produce less smoke and emissions compared to conventional wood, making them a cleaner option. Always ensure proper ventilation and follow safety practices when using any type of fuel in your wood stove.

In general, no. The draft, firebox, etc were designed for a fuel that burns right away, and leaves no coal or ash behind. Our last oil stove had a firebox made of metal about a 1/16th of an inch thick- wood stove, 3/8ths of an inch. Likely to be quite dangerous to try- cost of buying a wood stove is much less than cost of replacing house, furnishings, children, etc. And how would you get the ashes out of the oil stove?
Installing gas logs in a wood stove is generally not recommended or safe. Wood stoves are designed for burning wood, and modifying them to accommodate gas logs can lead to ventilation issues, unsafe emissions, and potential fire hazards.

Always consult a professional for guidance on safe installation options.
