Is there a stainless steel fireplace insert conversion for my home?

I have a traditional brick firebox with glass doors in my home. The previous owner built a horrible looking pink marble surround which I want to tear out. What I would ideally like is a very modern looking fireplace opening like the one seen on the red wall here: http://www.fireplaces-store.com/. Fuel type is not an issue because we will hardly ever use it as a true fireplace. However, it may be too difficult to pipe in natural gas, so that may not be an option. Just looking for a good retrofit into my existing firebox.

What is the most inexpensive way to heat your home?

Currently I have GAS heating (Forced AIr) and it is very expensive. I do have a woodburning fireplace but only use it in the evenings when I am home. If the wood would last in there all day it would be fine.

I would like to eliminate the need for GAS heating this winter. I am considering electric space heaters, radiant space heaters, etc. I wonder if the costs of that could be less than with natural gas.

I would leave the temperate in the home at about 70 *F

I live in North East Ohio and the winter temps get to be in the 20’s F, sometimes less.

If anyone has any suggestions, please!

Hot Gas Fireplace that is off?

We haven’t used our gas fireplace in over a week. Is it normal for the glass front to be extremely hot? It feels like a hot oven door when you’re cooking. The pilot light is on but the actual flames are off. It is a Napoleon Direct Vent Millivolt system (natural gas).
I’m actually here on my own-deployed husband :( I couldn’t even begin to guess how to turn off the pilot light. So….I guess I’ll try to find someone to come look. Thanks for the quick answers!

I’m converting my RGA520 Hotpoint gas stove from natural gas to propane. It has a regulator in the stove which I flip from natural gas to propane. Do I need to have an additional regular coming from the propane tank to the gas stove or will the regulator that’s already in the stove suffice?
