Crackle, Snap, and Pop! Few things are as comforting as the sound of a wood fire and the mesmerizing dance of the flames. But if you have a gas fireplace (or are thinking about getting one), you might be wondering: Can you burn wood in a gas fireplace?
In one word—NO! ❌ Let’s break down why, plus how you can still enjoy that classic wood-burning look.
Safety First: Why Wood and Gas Don’t Mix
Gas fireplaces are specifically designed to burn natural gas or propane. Throwing real wood into the mix creates major safety hazards—including:
⚠️ Carbon monoxide poisoning – Gas fireplaces don’t have the proper ventilation for wood smoke.
💥 Explosion risk – Wood burning can damage gas lines, leading to dangerous leaks.
🔥 Out-of-control flames – A wood fire burns hotter than a gas fire, which can damage internal components.
🏚️ Structural damage – The extreme heat can warp or crack parts of your fireplace that weren’t designed for it.
Bottom line? Never burn wood in a gas fireplace. It’s not safe, and it can cause serious damage.
