How much does a fireplace actually heat your home, will it emit enough heat to keep surrounding area warm?

Hi! Just moved into my first home, and it has a fireplace. We were wondering how much heat does a fireplace actually give off in the winter and will it be enough to heat at least the surrounding room? Sorry if its a stupid question, weve never had a fireplace before though, thanks!
Nate, lol....I know it sounds like a stupid question, obviously I know it was made to put out heat and not for show, I was wondering how much heat it would put out, enough to heat the entire room and surrounding area or just immediate area


Answer:
depends on the fire place and the spce of the room you are in. You need to burn fire wood that has cured over the summer and winter, burning green cut logs will not give off the heat you are looking for. Heat rises so if you have a ceiling fan in the room turn it on lower counter clockwise to circulate the air
