Depends on whether we're talking a fireplace or a quick flame.

Fireplace - definitely lit silk with a fan.
Quick flame - depends on how comfortable your venue is with real flame.

I will reiterate that you are required to meet all local, regional, and national fire and safety codes. This does in fact violate the waiver, but I will allow a discussion on creating fake fires.

Sorry for the draconian policy... but I can't afford to be sued over even the slightest incomplete information on the site regarding fire.

You have the state license or the ATF license?

So Utah has a professional certification for Pyro? What is the name or Acronym for the license? In Illinois we have a F.O.I.D (Firearm Owner ID)card for what I thought was just Firearm purchasing and transportation, but recently I have learned that it includes ownership as well.
