Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

Our family would love to change our practical yet boring gas fire into a real fire..hence the title. Who does it gas man or builder or specialist ? What is involved? How much ? Has anyone had this done? Thanks for you input .Sue

    Parents recently removed theirs, Surprising what you may find. Cast iron grate was still full of ash/dust?
