I have a large 400 sq ft family room that has an existing wood burning fireplace.

I'd like to put a gas insert in the existing fireplace that I can thermostatically control. The catch is that I would like to also be able to burn wood in the same fireplace. Mr. Fireplace told me that no such thing exists, but it seems like it should. The idea of burning gas and wood in the same fireplace doesnt seem that far out there.

Is there any fireplace product out there that can burn gas for heat, and wood for entertainment?
