Can you convert a gel fuel fireplace into a gas fireplace? If so, what is involved in it? Purchasing gel fuel is a pain.

I wouldn't think that it is too hard to do.
The gel fireplace that you have is just the cans that you put in there right?
You would have to have a licenses tech to come in to run a gas line to the fireplace. Proper ventilation too.
It may be expensive, but I don't think the job would be that hard.

Go with electric. The Gel fuel is really nice, but the gel is very expensive, does not last that long and sometimes does not burn that well. You have cans to dispose of and if you get the gel on anything, it stains. Plus, there is an odor. I don't care what anyone says...it smells. In addition, it seems like it is burning very clean, but later you will find as much black gunk as you get from a regular fireplace on things in the room. Go with electric.
