I highly recommend Fire Gel. My specific favorite is Swissmar Fire Gel, which is a little less intense than some of the camping fire gels out there. Here's an amazon link to the stuff I use and love.
My setup looks like this:
Lighting it lasts me about ~20-30 minutes which is about perfect for most of my ritual needs. It's beautiful, reliable, and safe/stable enough to not cause issues in ritual. It is also smokeless (Except for any burned offerings, which obviously can leave smoke).
A few important notes:
Also, as far as offerings... it's highly unconventional, but I personally did a vegan marshmellow to Hestia to open my rite and it both seemed to work and left my entire house smelling absolutely delicious. If you must burn things inside it's worth thinking about what sort of smoke they're going to leave behind. I suggest, as I always do, running trials in a non-ritual context before you try actually making a formal offering of it.
Fire safety is no joke, but it's entirely possible to have a lovely and significant fire setup safely if you treat it all with the seriousness it deserves.
Edit - A couple images of my setup:
