I’m going to try to keep from getting into this long winded backstory so if I leave out any important info, please let me know. I’m in the middle of remodeling a home and was given this insert that my grandmother supposedly had custom built for her home. I’m curious as to whether or not it can be converted to LP. I live in a pretty warm area so I’m wanting to install this more for aesthetics & sentimentality than for actual heat.

As for the house, it’s a single story ranch and doesn’t currently have a fireplace/hearth. The upside (and the main reason I’m even considering this) is that the house is completely gutted right now and I don’t mind spending some extra to add this into the remodel.

Thanks in advance,
Brian

That looks like it's a "slammer" wood burning insert.
There is no way LEGALLY or SAFELY that it can be converted to burn LP gas.
