Hey, Zolo!

I don't like them. They emit a weird-smelling smoke. I'd rather use a good, seasoned hardwood like oak or birch. Or even our wonderful Northwest Douglas Fir.

Now when we have a fire we use the ones the stores sell like Duraflame

Oh yeah, my parents used to use those too.
Good that you have a fireplace, though. Comes in handy during power outages.

Yes, but when we have snow, it's so cold it doesn't help that much
A wood burning stove is probably better

Most definitely. The cast iron gets really hot and becomes a good radiator. They still radiate heat for a while even after the fire is out.
I have a cast iron insert box in my fireplace that serves the same purpose.
