I’ve had one. It looks pretty but it’s not very efficient. And with fireplaces that burn wood most of the heat goes up the chimney in smoke. That still doesn’t mean the government should be able to tell me I can’t own one.
There are still people living in the south whose only form of heat is a wood stove. The elites are so out of touch.

Most of the gas fireplace manufacturers have already switched over to some sort of electronic ignition system. There are very few models available anymore, with a standing pilot ignition system.

Nah; no problem.
Just bypass the electronic controls and go over to a match light, or go to an old junk yard and find a set of old fashioned thermostat controls.
