ABSTRACT:
A burner unit particularly adapted for use in a non-vented dwelling space as a fireplace substitute includes a fuel cell carried on a grate which in turn is connected by support frames to a base plate. The fuel cell has a slidable lid to provide access to a fuel canister holding container portion of the fuel cell. The base plate has a glass covered cutout to allow upward illumination from a light fixture connecting with the unit below the base plate. The burner unit may be installed in an enclosure which in turn may be freestanding, placed in a wall opening or in a furniture piece. To use the unit, fuel in the canisters is ignited to burn with a slight flame and produce heat and toxic-free products of combustion. The light fixture is energized to illuminate rock pieces on the glass and simulate glowing embers under the grate. With artificial log pieces positioned on the grate and fuel cell, the unit provides sensorial effects similar to those of a wood burning fireplace for enjoyment by those in the dwelling space.
