Can i put a wood burning fireplace insert into my gas log fireplace?

I have an old coal fireplace that was converted into a gas log fireplace….I hate gas and i want to put a wood burning insert…is this possible? I figure i’d have to reinforce the chimney with something…but i don’t know what….any help would be nice.

Have your chimney professionally checked out. That may be the reason the previous owners stopped using the fireplace. If it is cracked, you can insert a flue just smaller than the chimney and attach it directly to the wood burner insert.

Make sure the gas lines are completely removed, again, use a professional.

I have a wood burner and love it, good change.
