Answer:

Depends on how bad your condition is. I have customers that did fine with Pellet Stoves…but you do some particles- etc at certain times.If you do convert to gas- do not use an unvented appliance. Get either a fully vented log set (for decoration) or a sealed gas fireplace insert (for heat)
