Questions for the wife about gas fireplaces, propane and propane tanks


My wife has become convinced that we are going to die due to the usage of our gas, propane, fireplace. I bought a very nice detector that detects carbon monoxide, elves and hobbits, placing it near the fireplace. I made sure to use a reputable gas company, get their brochures and had the guy talk to her at length about usage, maintenance, etc. She is convinced a wood fireplace is safer and wants to convert our fireplace to wood burning.


She also got an estimate to have the small (and I think it is the smallest) propane tank moved some 100 to 150 feet from our house which will cost me $$$ in installation.


tl;dr: how safe is a fireplace? wood? gas? propane? How close should the tank be? Should I just fill in the fireplace with plants and call it quits?
