OK, here's the real scoop. My IQ is over 140 and I have many years experience as an outdoorsman AND a scientist, but don't just believe me, think about what I say!
Do you know what an incinerator is? It burns
garbage, at HIGH temperature. IF you have a modern airtight woodstove, AND it's up to full temperature,
YES!! you can burn magazines. Mix them in with good firewood. They do produce more ash to clean out later, but that is not a problem. If you don't have a modern airtight woodstove, don't try, mags don't burn very well, except for crumpling every page and just using to start a fire.
As for open fire pits, once again, mags don't burn very well, except for crumpling every page and just using to start a fire. Your lungs operate best on clean air,
inhaling any kind of smoke is not a good thing.

Burning magazines in open fire pits can release toxins into the air, posing health risks to those nearby. The inks and chemicals used in printing can produce harmful fumes when burned, contributing to air pollution. It is not recommended to burn magazines in open fire pits for this reason.
Of course you can.
No.
Because of fire
Yes, but you can only burn 'smokeless fuel'.
Burn it to produce electicity, or burn it in a water heater for central heating, or burn it in a stove or open fire in a home
Yes, you can burn Laurel. However, it is best to not burn it in an open fireplace because Laurel contains cyanide compounds which are toxic and released into the smoke.
Cauterize (verb (used with object) is to burn with a hotiron, electric current, fire, or a caustic, esp. for curative purposes
Glycerin can be used to make fire by mixing it with Potassium Permanganate. The mixture is the exposed to an open flame where it will quickly ignite and burn at high temperatures.
You should LEAVE. Keeping your exit open in case the fire can not be controlled - find and use a fire extinguisher - give the alarm !
The fire point of a fuel is the temperature at which it will continue to burn for at least 5 seconds after ignition by an open flame. Firepoint comes after flashpoint.
Not so much, the burn off in the home is very minimal, most of the real nasty burn off comes from behind the glass. open windows and doors, it can set of a smoke detector.
No. Laurel contains cyanide compounds which are toxic. These toxins remain in the smoke from the wood. It isn't illegal to sell it; it is often sold as firewood. Experts advise aging it at least 2 years to stabilize the tar in the wood, and to burn it in a closed, vented fireplace. The indoor open fire seems a poor idea.
