When I say “fake fireplace”, I mean something like those structures fueled by fossil methane that produce flame and heat but obviously don’t burn actual wood

    Even if your home is powered by nuclear energy, you still don’t have uranium fuel rods in your fireplace.

      True, but I was specifically talking about nuclear fusion, which would entail helium/hydrogen plasma rather than fissionable material.

          It’d heat up the room, though. And the next couple of rooms. Or houses.

          No, that still probably wouldn’t work out, as the other comments have pointed out. Just clarifying that the dangerous aspects of what I asked wouldn’t involve uranium in particular.
