A note that I don't think the fireplace or woodstove are great places to burn a lot of paper. Ash can be sent up the chimney and clog up burn tubes and grates, etc. A straight fireplace is better, but paper creates much more ash than seasoned wood.
In a burn barrel, the fire is low enough that there's not as much upward air movement and it's easy enough to cover with a grate.
Just my two cents as the pyro in us all continues to rear her beautiful head.
