I recently bought a home with a Majestic mrc42 fireplace and a triple wall chimney in it. The previous owners converted it to gas and didn’t use it very often. If I remove the gas line and ceramic logs can I burn wood? Everything I’ve read say yes. My second question is. If I wanted to be able to burn all day other than changing inserts what would need to be done so I could safely do this. The fireplace hearth was built for a zero clearance insert.

Zero clearance fireplaces like this are meant to be recreational fireplaces and are not really meant to be burnt all day all the time. They also will provide little to no heat to the room.
I understand it’s not made for heat and looking at it I can see why. But if I would like to burn for heat could a prefab be replaced with a better insert?
You could also look for a location where a freestanding stove could go with a prefab chimney.
