Fireplace

Can a wood burning fireplace retrofitted years ago with Ng logs burn
wood by just removing the fake logs and leaving the gas burners inplace.

Aluminum melts at about 1220 F. The ecofire site says the hottest glowing
parts of a wood fire are about 1200 F. Steel melts at about 2500 F...

I would cover the burners wih sheet aluminum. The gas valve is far
enough outside the fireplace front.

Interesting thought. I would be concerned about the height of the wood and
the draw of the fire the sheet metal would change.
I guess if you removed the fake logs it would not be a problem providing the
fireplace is set up for wood in the first place.
They sell gas matches for wood fireplaces. Your gas log is not all that
much different.
Try a small one and let us know.

The aluminum might last one fire if you're lucky.
