The house we moved into was build in 1968. However, it was completely renovated in 2017.
I did not have a fireplace.
We’d love a wood fireplace but, the cost would be prohibitive.
Just to get the proper permits and then the right folks to build it.
We did the grass fire place in the previous house and frankly, it won me over.
Was cheap to purchase and install and it warmed the entire home and we used less of the regular furnace. And we enjoyed the basement more and spent quality family time down there.
This place is very nice and open. I believe we can install a gas fireplace with very little impact to the existing construction.
Likely going with a corner unit and happens to be directly below our master bedroom.
I had a home with wood fireplace and often got free cherry and apple wood from local orchards.
While it was awesome to have, it did make the rest of the home cooler.
And it took some planning to start it up and clean up from time to time.
Turning on a gas fireplace is so easy and maintenance just as easy as having your furnace serviced.

Always has a gas fireplace. Great for efficiency, but wood has the better ambiance. Was told my current one is an insert into a wood fireplace, not sure about that though. The neighbour with the same model house has wood burning.
My sister and BIL have 3 (yep, 3...) built in wood burning fire places in their house - one in their den, one in the master bedroom, and one in the basement.
I'm always jealous when I go visit, but I always soak in the smell.

Clean it down to bare metal with some fine sandpaper. Done it to my furnace half a dozen times over the years. Flame rod gets covered in oxidation or combustion by-products, reducing the signal to the gas valve.

So are they going to ban new installs and grandfather existing ones? That's usually the way those things work.
found this but it's not very recent: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/montreal-wood-burning-stoves-fireplaces-deadline-1.3375882
No grandfather. Only certified appliances can be burned after Oct 1/18 unless during an extended power outage.
