Wood burner v gas fire is heart v head.
We've had a wood burner (multi burner) for thirty odd years and it's lovely.
Lovely and warm, looks cosy, aesthetically pleasing. Stacking logs and building the fire is life affirming. They say it adds value to your house.
BUT it's hard work, cleaning the ashes, chopping wood, extra dust in the house, it takes time to light and occasionally sulks and refuses to go. It's also not cheap to install including lining the chimney. Wood, even here in a forested rural area, is not cheap - especially kiln dried wood.
A gas fire is the practical answer, especially as you get older.
Would I give up our woodburner? No. But in years to come it might just be kept for special occasions and we might rely more on the oil central heating.
