A portable artificial campfire device is disclosed. The device includes a receptacle having upper and lower portions, an open top defined by a peripheral edge of the upper portion, and an interior bottom surface. A burner is positioned above the interior bottom surface and is adapted to provide a flame of variable height. A pressurized fuel source is positioned exterior to the receptacle, and a control member couples the fuel source with the burner for controlling the flow of fuel to the burner and the size of flame emitted by the burner. A plurality of artificial refractory log members are secured to each other in crisscross fashion to form a log cluster. A structure is provided for supporting the log cluster within the receptacle. Finally, a mechanism is provided for selectively adjusting the vertical position of the log cluster in the receptacle to vary the vertical position of the log cluster relative to the plane the open top.
