If you know the answer to that question then move on down. If you're not sure then let's take a look at each one.

Most fireplaces have 2 or more doors on the front. As for wood stoves, they typically have just one door. Most wood stoves seal at the door with a fire-gasket, a fiberglass material that makes an air tight seal when the door is closed.  There are wood stoves that have two doors also but they will have a rope gasket seal.   

There are also fireplace inserts, which are similar to wood stoves that slide into a masonry fireplace. The idea of an insert is to make the old fireplace as efficient as possible while still providing a beautiful view of the fire. So, an air tight, efficient, firebox is slid into or "inserted" into your existing fireplace.

Is it a gas unit, using natural gas or propane? A wood burner that is just for looks? Or an air tight wood burner that produces over 600 degrees?

If it is a gas unit, then it typically uses tempered glass. Although gas units do put out heat, the top end of the heat against the glass is less than 400 degrees. The tempered glass in these units is usually of a clear tint.

If you have a masonry fireplace, a fireplace built in the home with brick and mortar, they can have a set of fireplace doors applied to the opening. These types of fireplaces are not very efficient and do not generate heat much higher than 400 degrees, at least not for any extended period of time. The glass in these types of door systems are typically tempered.

If you have an air tight wood stove or insert. These units can generate up to 1200 degrees and are very efficient. The glass in these units must be Pyroceram. Using any other type of glass will cause the glass to fail and could cause a home fire. Pyroceram glass has an amber tint in color.

If you have a high efficiency fireplace. This is a fire place that is not air tight, but has an adjustable damper that allows you to control and slow down the fire to burn more efficiently and generate more heat. These units generally supply heat in the 600-1000 degree temperature range and need to use Pyroceram glass.

If you're not sure about any of the above, there are still a couple of ways to find out. Look in your owner's manual. It should tell you what type of glass was supplied.
