ABSTRACT:
An artificial ember bed (5) for use within a fireplace (7) is disclosed. The fireplace will include a burner (12, 13) positioned below an elevated log grate (19), on which at least a pair of spaced artificial logs (20, 21) will be positioned. Situated in the space defined by, and between the logs will be an ember bed support grate (24), having an elevated surface on which a plurality of non-combustible artificial embers (25) will be disposed such that in use they will glow to create the visual appearance of glowing embers within the fire. The ember bed support grate may be constructed with a Z-shaped or a C-shaped geometry, or may include a pair of bifurcated legs (33, 34), or a pair of spaced legs (36, 37) for supporting the ember bed support grate on the log grate within the fireplace. In addition, the ember bed support grate can be fashioned as a planar grate, supported either on the logs, or received within notches (39) defined within opposed faces of the logs when situated atop the log grate.
