So, my house was built in the 50's.  

I was giving the fireplace a serious end-of-season cleaning, and man, it's in pretty shitty shape.  It's a no-shit brick fireplace.  There are a lot of cracked bricks, missing grout, etc.  I'm afraid that it's shot. 

Last year I sold a home with a bad fireplace, and the seller ended up paying for a pellet burning insert for the defective box.

I wished I had asked more questions, but, like the guy in Penthouse Forum getting blown by two hot chicks at the same time, I never thought this would happen to me. 

Anybody got one?

natural gas, which is nice.  But, the regs (out here at least) are pretty strict for new fireplace installs.  I want to maintain the look of the original fireplace, to some extent anyway.

Does it have a gas log starter in the fire place.  That plus an adapter and a good gas log set is all you need.

No gas in the firebox. And, if I’m correct that the box is unsafe, a gas log is no solution.
