BoCo, there isn't a good solution for green wood in a fireplace. You can use an accelerant or better wood, and as mentioned, stack with enough room for air to circulate. Best is to blend into an active fire that has enough heat to take on the added moisture.
If it smolders you'll get creosote. If the accelerant is too hot it'll damage the firebox. Trust me, we repair several fireplaces a year from students burning pallets, and clean out the flues where people took down the tree in their back yard to use for winter heat.
