Installing a timer switch on a gas fireplace?

Our current indoor gas fireplace has (what appears to be) a standard wall mounted on/off light switch. Can I replace it with a timer switch like this? Or is there some different wiring scheme or switch type needed because LP is involved?

I put a turn knob timer on mine and works fine. I would assume this works the same. Just make sure it’s a single pole switch
 
Man I can’t even find it in the breaker box, which is strange because this is a 3 year old house and the electrician was meticulous as hell when we built it

You can just kill the power to the house and switch out as well. I’ve done that to several of our rental properties when I was to lazy to figure out which breaker did what.
