Gas burner pipe in my fireplace?

I just bought a house that has a fireplace in the living room. Running across the bottom of the fireplace is a gas burner with 3 openings (narrow slits across the top). The gas control is built into the front face of the fireplace in the brick. Is this type of fireplace meant to be used with the ceramic logs laid in the rack? Or is this just meant to be used as a starting aid for a wood fire? Every set of gas logs I’ve looked at contain their own burner.

This is a fully functioning fireplace, and you can see that the previous owners have burned a wood fire in it. I’m just trying to figure out the best/proper way to use this fireplace. Every place I’ve had before just used a standard wood fire.

Fireplace currently is wood burning or gas (propane fueled) with key valve in place. It has a log lighter in the actual fireplace. I need to replace or convert the log lighter to accept the propane burner. Thank you.
