need a fireplace detective

19 years ago

We purchased this 105 year old three story home about a year ago. At that time we had a house inspection and the inspector noted the kind of fireplaces each room had, wood buring etc. In the family room, the inspector noted that this was a gas fireplace however when I opened the glass encloseure however I quickly deterined that it was an anomoly I was unfamilar with and I do not know how to proceed. There is an iron basket in it that has a metal set of instructins most of which had paper backing that has been burned off. However I was able to read the following: Domno iron fire basket for use with solid fuel burning fireplaces. Under the basket there is a pipe that does not have an obvious turn on or off. There are two levers in the unit. They state coal push in coke pull out? Who do I even call to address this? I am clueless? WHat kind of contractor works onthis kind of thing? Any help anyone can give me would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
