There are several ways to heat a home. There are fireplaces fuelled by real wood or gas. Some are heated with radiators while others rely on electric-powered heaters. There are also pellet stoves.
Pellet stoves use compressed sawdust or other biomass pellets for its fuel. These could be grains, seeds, or corn husks. Some stoves can even burn pelletized trash that contains waste paper. Owing to their extreme density and low humidity content, they can be burned with high combustion efficiency. Also, because of their small uniform size, they can be fed more easily into the firebox from the hopper. This allows for automatic feeding.
Pellet stoves consist of a hopper where the pellets are fed, an auger that moves them, a firebox where they are burned with the help of a blower fan, a convection fan that transfers heat to the room heated, certain safety features, and a control box.

Some stoves can be placed in any corner of your room, while others are designed to be inserted into an existing fireplace opening.
