We have a those that was originally built in 1977 and its built with brick with brick chimney and all. We believe it was originally built as a wood burning fireplace. How hard would it be to convert it back to a wood burning fireplace. I believe there's an insert that they used to turn it into gas. The problem is that gas has gone so high in price per gallon that it would be more cost effective for us to convert it back to a wood burning fireplace. What would we need to do?

Best Answer
Verify that the size of the flue is adequate for wood burning. Wood burning fireplaces require larger flues than gas.
Also, you should understand that most of the heat will go up the flue compared to gas inserts.
