Processing for #2 begins: February 11. As of March 2 (about 6 weeks total), awaiting results. If it's 6-8 weeks from processing time, I still have weeks to go. My own test took about 3 weeks from activation to completion, but that was a couple of years ago, so maybe there is a bigger backlog right now. Be the first to rate this.
Undo. kframe19. Yes, those kinds of fireplaces generally burned coal-depending on where you are they may well have burned lignite, which is a sort of in between peat and bituminous coal. The solid panels are a nice touch to have, still. Many times they've simply disappeared.
There is no such fireplace on the market that allows you to burn wood and LP interchangeably. The only way to achieve the capability to burn gas or wood would be to purchase a woodburning fireplace and install a propane gas log set. To burn wood, however, you would have to completely uninstall the log set and burner.
