Default reconverting fireplace

circa 1910 north buffalo ny many homes had smaller original GAS
fireplaces. you can not burn wood in one of these, chimney heat on a
wood fire way too hot.

I have a craftsman style home with a fireplace that was shored up with
concrete. There is a small hole in the top of the ceiling of the
fireplace since it does have a gas line. I would like to knock out the
concrete and be able to enjoy a wood fire.....anyone who has had the
joy of doing this, please share.....thanks, Dan
