ABSTRACT:
Fireplace logs (10-10A) for simulating a wood burning fire using a fuel log (18) which is economical, readily available, and safer than gas, and which requires minimal cleaning effort, while maintaining the desired qualities of a wood burning fire such as flame quality, sound, and smell. The fireplace logs (10-10A) include a first and second non-combustible ceramic log (12-14) in a spaced apart fashion such that a fuel log (18) may be centrally placed. Top logs (16-44-60) are placed above the fuel log (18) and engage at least a portion of the first and second logs (12 and 14). Openings (50-52-62) are defined between the logs (12-14-16-44-60) and cooperate with opening (53) to enhance the flow of air to the fuel log (18) and to cause the flame (26) derived from the burning fuel log (18) to lick the third log (16) to give an appearance of a wood burning fire. Opening (53) is also provided for the placement of the fuel log (18) with a substantially arcuate motion without necessitating the displacement of the artificial logs (10-10A). In an alternate embodiment, a fuel source tray (54) is provided to carry the fuel log (18). In the preferred embodiment, the fuel log (18) is impregnated with a variety of seeds (24) such as hemp, millet, and sunflower to simulate the popping sound of burning wood.
