ABSTRACT:
An andiron system is provided for use within a fireplace comprising a floor, a pair of oppositely disposed side walls, a front wall defining an opening and a rear wall disposed opposite said front wall. The andiron system comprises a pair of spaced apart andirons, and a guard. Each andiron comprises an elevated, generally horizontal log supporting member spaced vertically above and apart from the floor and extending from a location adjacent the front opening toward the rear wall and a post member extending generally uprightly from the supporting member adjacent the front opening of the fireplace. The guard comprises an elongated rigid rod having a length greater than the distance between the andiron post member and a pair of spaced apart cuff means fixedly secured to the rod. Each cuff defines an opening adapted to nonpivotably receive one of the post members. The rigid rod extends between the andirons in a position generally parallel to the front wall and the floor and above the log supporting members. Logs placed upon the log supporting members are restrained from rolling off the andirons toward the front opening and the andirons are restrained against movement relative to one another.
