I have a natural gas fireplace that I have.....?

always used natural wood in, never using or hooking up the gas. I used it as just a regular wood burning fireplace. I am now thinking of buying the gas insert logs so I can have a fire at any time and leave the messy wood burning fireplace to someone else. My fireplace is already set up for natural gas if I choose to have it. Can I now change it to the natural gas logs or have I possibly damaged the fireplace by burning wood?
