How does a fireplace warm the house?

Fireplaces, especially gas fireplaces, don't really do much to heat your home unless a fireplace blower or fan kit is installed.

They sell baskets for burning wood pellets in fireplaces. Are they any good?

Wood pellets are intended to burn under a forced draft. They will not burn as well in a fireplace- why not use regular firewood? It is much less expensive than the wood pellets, and will burn as well in a fireplace. PS- a fireplace is a very poor choice for heating a home.
