Hahahahaha!! Of course this is a stoner question! XD
Yeah, don’t do this, unless everyone consents to it, you or someone within the participants actually own the place you’re doing this in, you have a fire escape planned out, you have a smart way to put out the fire if it gets to big, you all have a way to air out the place when it gets to be to much, etc.
For starters, to actually benefit the most from the cannabis (pot) trichomes, you actually want to basically cook it instead of catching it on fire. Similar to vaping. These are the tempratures you want to achieve for each cannabinoid to be released from the dried bud.
! Take note of the Benzene warning !
Fireplace fires range in temperatures of 200°F-1,200°F.

off-topic: does this mean i’m wasting as lot using a bong?

Yes, combustion in both glass and joints is pretty inefficient at converting THCA to ∆9, and degrades a bunch of it to CBN and others. There’s a pretty thin section of material that gets heated to the right temperature, and quickly goes too hot when reached by the embers

Consent is far and away the biggest concern here.
The benzene produced in a combustion temperature and oxygen rich environment like an open fireplace would immediately burn into CO/2 and water. That warning applies to vaporizers. Even then you’re probably more exposed to benzene fueling up at a gas station. That said I agree you should avoid it where you can especially when it’s getting shot straight into your lungs.
