Can you use this with a gas fireplace when it is on?

I'm not sure about gas, but we can use ours when it's on. It just keeps you from opening the glass, which ours allows when it's burning. We haven't done that though, only because we usually need to tend the fire since its wood burning and you have to unscrew it when it's on.

It locks the glass doors closed, so if you have those on your fireplace, your good to go. The one I bought is in use on a gas fireplace.

I don't see how you could because there is nothing to burn. The glass doesn't burn. It just reflects the flames from the gas. If you had a gas pipe installed in the fireplace, you could put fireglass in there

I don't see why not considering that it is not to be used when there is a flame or residual heat. It is meant to keep the cold air from coming down the chimney and it does a great job on that note. It also helps the fireplace look cleaner when not in use. I would call the manufacturer if you are uncomfortable with the information provided by the seller.

If the gas fireplace is controlled by a conventional 24v thermostat use a compatible thermostat . If 120 volt wall switch use 120v in wall switch On / off (no dim)

Only if you have a fireplace to put it in so the smoke will go up the chimney...I tried for myself and tbis wae the only way to use inside the house as its so much bigger than picture shows.

You can if it's a very heavy duty extension cord. The typical extension cords can handle the load of the heater and tend to over heat which could lead to a fire.

I would say no to a special burner. In my gas fireplace; as in most, the burner is above the bottom of the fireplace itself... in the "logs". So when you put the fireplace glass in the bottom it will not or should not be high enough to touch the burner itself. There was/is a warning that comes with the glass (I believe this is where I got this advice) that says make sure to close the mesh or doors to the fireplace before lighting as there might be a chance of some glass pieces "popping" durning the first few heatings. I however, never had any popping and am very happy with the look and performance of the fireplace glass. I would say no to a special burner.

You can, but when you burn the wood or what ever you burn. It will make the glass all dirty. This is meant for gas or propane fires.

That entirely depends on you you plumb it in. If you just put it inline with the gas supply, you'd have to turn it on every time, and the fireplace would turn off after the timer ends (max 1 hour) unless you turn the dial again. This is how I have it setup with my gas grill. You could also plumb it in with a bypass valve so that opening the valve would bypass the timer, and your fireplace would run forever.

Absolutely - you generally will run it on a very low setting - you are not after a bonfire but only some ambiance. I spent the money and put colored fireglass in mine and it looks great. Also, is you hook it up with a flexible hose expect to hear some whistling when you have it really turned up. It not the unit itself but the hose.

While I am certainly not an expert, I have had a gas fireplace in the past and I can't imagine that the wall above the mantel would get hot enough to do any damage to the picture. We love this picture and get so many compliments on it. Good luck!

Maybe, if your fireplace opening it large enough to allow the unit to be placed inside. If you do this however, it will not be as efficient as if it is freestanding. IE less heat in the room. I recommend simply buying a new gas fireplace insert not a stove.

I would think so, as long as you have a gas value with a on/off switch. Most gas values don't require any power since it operates off millivolts generated via the thermal couple. The remote worksgreat with my direct vent. It acts as a remote switch than has the ability to turn on/off due to what temperature you select. Simple to hook up just follow the programing instructions per directions given.

It will work only if the fireplace insert extends 5 inches or more out of the flush wall of the original firebox. This will give you a place to set the fan on. I doubt it would work well with a gas fireplace insert because the temperatures reached are not high enough to make the fan spin. It does work well with a wood fireplace insert.

I bought this to use with my gas fireplace and it did not work. this switch apparently was not sensitive enough to control the low voltages that the fireplace switch uses

Yes you could, however you must remember to leave the damper on the fireplace open when in use because of carbon monoxide poisoning. That would keep your room very cold as the flame is not big enough to heat the space.

Honestly I don't know, I've always used it as decoration to stage my homes before selling them. Try asking someone at a store that sells gas fireplaces or gas heaters to be on the safe side.
