That kind of fireplace requires electricity to work though (might be able to start it with a lighter and batteries but not run the fan

Are you certain? Ours is similar, has “milivolt” gas valve operation such that the power to switch it on is derived from the pilot light. And the fan was an option we never had installed, it heats the nearby space fine without it. In the pinch of a power outage, I’m sure it will provide some useful heat.

I’m certain about the fan. Sure you could start it but it’s not going to be very efficient
