what's the answer if you want some sort of real fire in your living room?
Gas? And if the thought of burning a fossil fuel is abhorrent to you, then why is burning a fresh organic fuel that releases CO2 OK?
A candle?
But like others said, you probably don't need it at all. And if you have a wood burner you'd be advised to not use it for the sake of your own health.
The BMW SUV example externalises the impact on lots of other people outside of the vehicle (hmm, except the driver's wallet for the fuel)... but the wood burner directly impacts those in the room who have to breathe in the product of combustion.

Both correct answers.
People also need to get a grip. An open log fire when living in the countryside is one thing. Having a log burner (which isn't even period fitting 99.9% of the time) in a built up area is obviously a dick move and in puts you in the same camp that installs Agas in town houses.
Just spend your money on a Miele dishwasher. While it's harder to post nice pictures online, I 100% guarantee that it will get more comments and pier recognition irl.

BMW SUV example
But as gash as they are, at least an SUV has a load of practical benefits for the user.
A log burner saves money for people with the money to fund the upfront cost. That's it.

Because the carbon cycle in wood can be measured in years/decades rather than millions of years.
I don't have any open fires in my house, just gas heating, but I do burn wood in a fire pit when camping with a youth group. Am I evil?
Our fire risk assessment has things like burns in it. Perhaps we should update it to include lung damage etc and get parental consent.

Love your crusade against log burners.
Genuine question - what's the answer if you want some sort of real fire in your living room?
Also, if friends were to buy a BMW SUV how would that effect your feelings towards them? Because I ma really struggling...
