Yes, you can put real wood in a gas fireplace. There are two main types of gas fireplaces: those that burn natural gas and those that burn propane. Propane-fired units are less common in North America, but they're popular in Europe. Natural gas-fired units are the most popular type of gas fireplace in North America.
Most people who have a gas fireplace use it as an alternative to a wood-burning fireplace. They like the convenience and cleanliness of burning gas rather than wood. However, there are some people who like the idea of having a real fire in their gas fireplace.
If you're considering putting real wood in your gas fireplace, there are a few things you need to know first. Gas fireplaces generate a lot of heat - more than enough to dry out and even char logs over time if they're not properly seasoned or if the damper is left open too long after the fire has been extinguished.
That's why it's important to use only well-seasoned hardwood logs that have been split for at least six months (preferably longer) and cut to size so they fit snugly against the back wall of the firebox. You also want to make sure the flue is open before lighting any fires in yourgas fireplace - otherwise, all that heat will go up the chimney instead of warming your home!
