Burning Alternatives To Burning Wood Or Coals In Your Fireplace During The Upcoming Winter Months?

Alternatives to burning wood or coals in your fireplace during the upcoming winter months? - burning

I've tried every file that tries to burn for 2 hours and then I also have plain wood, but it is a dirty work in the morning when I sweep all the ashes, and I suffer the terrible allergies.

I'm an environmentalist, and my family and I will try the best alternatives to try to reduce our heating, gas and electricity in the winter months. Has anyone good suggestions?
