A normal wood burning fireplace can have a set of gas logs installed so you can have a natural gas fire. You would have to remove the fake logs to use the fireplace for normal wood fires.

Just do a search for "gas logs" online and you will find several options.

I doubt any one would make one for sale because they wouldn’t be assured you would take care of it properly so as to be safe. It wouldn’t be very difficult for a good mechanic to add a gas burner to a wood burning fireplace. You would have to remove the gas burner and ceramic log when burning wood. And you would have to clean it before using gas log. Also when burning gas the damper would need to be adjusted each time. You definitely need a co detector and should never leave either unattended. See, It isn’t worth the bother.

There is no such fire. The ash from the burnt wood would clog the burner jets. You would also have a yellow flame while burning wood which gives off Carbon Monoxide which is highly Toxic.

Yes there are combo fuel zero clearance fireplaces. I have installed them in homes I built.

No since the flue requirements are different.
