We're thinking about getting a log-burner for our house, but not sure if that's the right open for our home.

It's great that you're thinking about getting a log burner! But I'll help you narrow down your options and make sure it's something that's good for you.
assistant
Okay thanks. Does it have to be built into an existing chimney? And what about the environmental effects?
user
It's true that if you build a log burner into an existing chimney, the log burner itself is not very eco-friendly.  However there are some other options available: They can be installed inside a structure that doesn't have an existing chimney, or they can be freestanding.
assistant
Can you let me know some more eco-friendly options to heat our home?
user
You could also try installing a wood burning stove, or a pellet stove. I'm not sure if those are as eco-friendly as they could be, but I would like to check into it with you.
assistant
Okay, is a pellet stove more eco-friendly than a wood burning stove?
