Gas log fireplaces have "fake" logs which absorb/radiate heat and glow, simulating wood logs. They burn natural gas which is piped into the fireplace. The advantages are that they're cleaner; no ashes to clean-up, no bringing logs into the house, no woodpile storage outside, no stray embers burning holes in your carpet or wood floors. They're easier to light; just turn on the gas valve and ignite it. Gas log fireplaces obviously don't have the aroma and crackling sound some people enjoy with a wood-burning fire. When burning a natural gas log fireplace, there is a continuous flow of gas feeding the fire, which raises your gas utility bill. Firewood is expensive too, though (especially if you buy it already split and aged and pay for delivery), so you have to weigh-out the cost of operating each type. There are also gas-fired wood burning fireplaces, where the gas supply assists in getting the fire going by adding fuel to the flame until the wood is sufficiently burning, at which point the gas valve is turned off. These types of fireplaces can be easily converted to gas log fireplaces with the installation of the log kit (a couple hundred bucks).

The hardest wood you can find. Wood from old fruit trees is the best. Apple, or even cherry, but it would be a shame to burn good pieces of cherry wood.

i don't know if you have locust trees there but locust is rated at 22.000 BTU the next is oak which is rated at 16.000 BTU i like a mix my self i use something like poplar to get the fire roaring then add little by little the hard woods cedar is good also it puts out a tremendous amount of heat Ive heard black walnut is nice also but its such a rare and nice wood i always take mine to the mill you can really use any kind of wood as long as you keep your chimney clean of sout and residue

any fruit or nut tree is good burning wood and smells the best but oak is economical
pine smells bad and will cause a flue fire someday because of the resins left in your flue just stick with oak in general

oak
not pine - the oils will gum up your chimney

if it is an open fireplace, be aware that some wood spits (but I can't remember which!) use a fireguard, of course.
