In my opinion it's better/safer than a traditional fieldstone type fireplace as the embers are more enclosed, providing you don't overfill.
Isn’t there also a “distance from any structure” requirement? I thought I read somewhere that it is something like 50ft. It was a while ago so I might be misremembering ( or I might just be old!)
