Discussion about
I have a wood burning fireplace venting outdoor via chimney. I want to covert to natural gas. I am interested in a modern type burner with fire glass covering the floor. Does anyone know what DOB rules apply to the type of burner I can use.

Just curious - how are you going to get the gas to the fireplace?

I would be very surprised if your burner is a hindrance to your plans, that is by far the least of your problems. Call 311 and they will fix you up. BTW I converted a wood burner to gas and we loved it, but you need to make sure the natural gas piping is installed attractively--you're dealing with a plumber, not a decorator....

If the chimney is a traditional brick w/ clay liner this is probably the time to put a stainless steel insert in as well.

where did you purchase the gas fireplace from? we ran a gas line "to the near location" when we renovated in 2008 but this is one of the last projects to be completed and am considering if we want to do it this side of winter or next summer.
