East Bay Gas Lines Danville, CA Can I burn wood in my gas log fireplace?

This is a surprisingly common question. If it’s not surprising to you, then you’ve come to the right place.
The answer to this is without a doubt no!
First of all, the purpose of a gas fireplace is to avoid burning wood in the first place. If you absolutely need to burn wood, then don’t use a gas fireplace. The reasons are too numerous to go into here, but the most important reasons are:

1. You don’t want an uncontrolled open flame near a gas line.
2. Wood ash will clog your gas burners, rendering your gas fireplace inoperable.

The bottom line is gas fireplaces are made to replace wood burning fireplaces and are specially designed not to need wood. Burning wood in your gas fireplace will not only break it, but it is a major safety hazard.
If a natural wood burning look is what you’re after, we’ve got you covered. Gas fireplace technology has reached the point where ceramic log inserts capture the realism of burning wood better than ever before. From a distance you can’t tell the difference.
