How change a Marco Fireplace from wood burning to gas logs

It is not recommended to burn wood in a Marco 792774B model fireplace, as it is likely a gas-burning fireplace. If you want to burn wood, you should look into purchasing a wood-burning fireplace insert that is designed for use with your existing fireplace.

You would need ceramic gas fireplace logs, fake logs that work by helping display the real flames, plus radiating heat with their hot surface. Most require venting, the same as real wood.

wood burning defo best way forward.id never be without mine..

The best answer would be to contact Marco or their distributer directly. I have never seen a fireplace that would burn both. I have seen dual-fuel central heating furnaces.

I would not attempt burning wood without input from Marco.

TRY TAPPING ON IT WITH A SMALL HAMMER LIGHTLY, & QUICKLY 15-30 TIMES & SEE IF IT COMES LOOSE AND SHUTS FOR YOU.

Hello,
My name is mike. YOU DO NOT want to attempt to burn wood in a gas fireplace. The reason for it, is the venting is not designed for the fumes and high heat the wood produces. Only way you can safely burn wood, in a gas fireplace is have to make sure the piping and venting is set up correct to burn wood. Your problem is not most likely your stove or fireplace for the safety, it would be your venting. Thanks Mike

when the gas logs were installed the vent damper should have disabled. it sounds like this was done.it is unsafe to close the damper with gas piped into the fire place. sometimes a "u" block will be placed over the damper blade. if the gas has been removed and not piped into the firebox anymore it would be safe to remove this

Ok, I have a Marco Model 792775D. I am renting the house and there is no manual for it. How would I use it. Is it supposed to be fake logs or is it for real logs. The land lord said he didnt know if it works. I need a manual for it. PLEASE HELP!!!

I have a Model 792864B. Before you attempt to light the pilot light - make sure that any wall control switch or remote control for the fireplace is in the off position. Locate the gas supply line. There should be a gas supply valve to turn on the gas supply. The valve is usually painted a different color than the supply line like blue, green or yellow. Open the valve by pivoting the handle to be parallel to the gas line, usually counter-clockwise. When it is closed it is at a 90 degree angle from the supply line. Locate the pilot light assembly - this is the pilot light. There should also be a red or black ignitor button and a black or green valve control knob with the words "on" "off" and "pilot" on it. It may be located inside a black box, mine is marked heatolator, that has a lift off top. Lift off the top of the box. Push in the valve control knob and turn it until the word "pilot" is in line with the arrow (my arrow is red) or indicator line. While pressing and holding in the valve control knob - it presses in about 1/4", press the red or black ignitor button repeatedly (once per second) until the pilot ignites. Once the pilot is lit, continue to hold the valve knob in for about 30 seconds and then slowly release. The pilot should remain lit. If it remains lit, press in and turn the valve control knob to the "on" position. The on/off wall or remote control switch should now light your fireplace. If the pilot doesn't ignite, turn off gas supply valve, wait about 5 minutes and try it again.
