What kind of a chimney does your fireplace vent into?
Gas fireplaces use aluminum B-vent for the chimney (either by itself in new construction, or pulled inside of a masonry chimney in older structures), which is completely incompatable with wood fireplaces. Wood fireplaces need to have a stainless steel, double, or triple walled liner, or vent into a tile-lined masonry chimney. The temperature of wood fires is many times greater than gas, and your current vent is not capable of that.
Wood fireplaces, while attractive, are an incredible waste of energy. There is so much house air being sucked up the chimney as combustion and draft air, that there is very little or no heat gain into the house.
