(Anything flammable, such as a paper bag or cardboard box, even if you are positive the ashes are cold, is extremely dangerous. See similar questions...

Unfortunately, no. You will need a wood pellet stove but if you don’t already have one, the savings you will realize in heating your home will more than pay for the stove.

Most current Montigo fireplaces that have a standing (continuous) pilot ignition system will still operate during a power outage. Fireplaces like these generate a small amount of their own electricity - enough to operate the gas control - so that the fireplace will operate safely even when your furnace will not. If you have optional fans or a handheld remote control installed, they will not run during a power outage. See similar questions...

Yes. We recommend annual service of your fireplace by a qualified serviceperson. This will ensure that your appliance is functioning properly.

Freestanding stoves can be connected to chimneys built especially for them. The chimneys may be of masonry construction or be a factory-built metal system that's been designed, tested and listed for use with wood burning appliances. Freestanding stoves can also connect to an existing fireplace chimney, if the height and position of the stove's flue collar permits it. When this type of installation is done, the stoves may be called hearth stoves. See similar questions...

No. If the fireplace is designed for use only with gas, this is a very bad idea. The fireplace is not designed to withstand a wood fire. And the gas jets are not meant to come in contact with ash. This is a real fire hazard. It's possible your fireplace was originally a wood burning fireplace and has been converted to gas. In that case, it can be converted back. But you shouldn't burn would in it until that's happened. See similar questions...
