OP, where are you?
I cannot think of another place inside your house for a large display that would look as nice as in a fireplace. If you have a safe area outside like a patio maybe that could work. Personally I'd say bye-bye to the idea.

I've seen folks houses that burn perfumed candles all the time that the carpet is near black from it and the HVAC filters are also black from the soot. If you want the house to stay healthy, avoid any open flame or combustion type heat/light.

Great post, TrapperL. These are some great points. I learned this about twenty years ago when I saw the soot on my walls.
I stopped using paraffin candles and switched to soy and beeswax.

Safer alternatives are those that use a cotton or paper wick, and are either unscented or scented with essential oils. The candles themselves should be made with 100 percent soy, beeswax, coconut wax, hemp oil, or some combination that doesn't contain any paraffin.
