Will gas logs in my wood burning fireplace provide heat?

Northwest Stoves Ltd. - Frequently Asked Questions
Operating gas logs in a fireplace can be similar to burning wood in the fireplace. Yes you will receive some heat, but it is impossible to predict how much. Gas logs retrofitted to existing fireplaces are primarily for aesthetic benefit. They look great, provide a large yellow-orange flame and are not particularly efficient.
