ABSTRACT:
An artificial campfire device is disclosed. The device is fueled by a pressurized fuel source and is adapted for permanent mounting to a fixed ground member. The device includes a base receptacle having a peripheral edge defining an open top and an interior bottom surface. The base receptacle is mountable to the fixed ground member. A burner member is mounted to and positioned above the interior bottom surface and is adapted to provide a flame of variable height. A fuel control mechanism is adapted for coupling a pressurized fuel source exterior to the receptacle base with the burner member to control the flow of fuel to the burner member and the size of flame emitted thereby. Finally, a plurality of artificial refractory log members are secured to each other in crisscross fashion to form a log cluster, and the log cluster is permanently secured to the base receptacle bottom surface.
