Buying a house with an open fire in a smoke control area. What can I burn?

I’ve come across the term authorised fuel. What exactly does that include? I know wood and house coal are not okay. Is all anthracite okay? What about manufactured brockets. Is there an easy way to tell which are fine to use and which aren’t? Does anyone have any recommendations? The fireplace would only be used on cold winter nights in one room.

In an open fire you can burn any authorised smokeless fuel. Brazier seems to be a popular choice but there are others and it's best to experiment and see which works best for your application.
