In one word—NO! ❌
Throwing wood into a gas fireplace is dangerous and can cause serious damage to your home. Here’s why:
Why Wood and Gas Don’t Mix in the Fireplace
Gas fireplaces are built only for natural gas or propane. Burning wood in them can lead to:
⚠️ Carbon monoxide poisoning – Gas fireplaces don’t have the right ventilation for wood smoke.
💥 Explosion risk – Wood burning can damage gas lines, leading to leaks.
🔥 Out-of-control flames – Wood burns hotter than gas, which can warp internal parts.
🏚️ Structural damage – Excessive heat can crack or damage the fireplace.
Bottom line? Never burn wood in a gas fireplace. It’s unsafe, and it could cost you thousands in repairs.
