I'd like to convert a gas fireplace to wood. What sort of things do I need to consider as far as weight, safety, etc? Does anyone have a good link for this topic? Thanks.

I don't know what you have But I would think it will be major changing. To begin gas only needs a class B vent, Wood class A.

Dusty has it right. Most units if they were designed and installed as gas are not suffcient to use for burning wood. Wood burns much hotter then gas. As Dusty said, wood uses a differant grade of flue pipe.

That being said, I have installed many gas log sets in prefab wood burning fireplaces with class 'A' flues. A lot of folks want a fireplace, just don't like to mess with the ashes.

You need to check out what you have. There should be a manufacturer's plate stating if the unit is gas only. Also, where does it vent? Through the wall? Gas only. If it goes through the roof, Is the flue pipe only 4 or 5 inches interior diameter? Most likely gas only. Class 'A' flues start at 6 inches interior diameter. Best bet call someone that does this for living like a chimney sweep or the installer at a woodstove/fireplace shop. Spend a few bucks and have it checked out right. You muck around and you stand a real good chance of burning your house down. And to add insult to injury, your insurance company will probably refuse to pay anything if you use a non-compliant wood burning device.

Bottom line is you are very likely looking at starting from scratch.

Be safe
