ABSTRACT:
A log handling device is provided capable of picking up logs to be thrust end first into wood stoves or sideways into fireplaces. The invention contemplates optionally usable members wherein the basic device has spaced prongs on a carrier bar to handle logs for placing endwise into wood stoves. A transversely attachable device has spaced prongs to handle logs for feeding broadside into fireplaces. While the two combinations of elements could be permanently secured, versatility is effected by ready assembly or disassembly, depending upon the needs of users having a wood stove or a fireplace, or both. Thus, a person having only a wood stove need purchase only the basic device. A further embodiment has a permanent assembly convertible by a change in relative orientation of certain elements for feeding wood stoves or fireplaces. The same pair of spaced prongs for either function is utilized. All embodiments utilize a manual actuating linkage having a mechanical advantage for stressing a strong spacing wherein spring force is utilized for gripping the ends of a log between a pair of prongs. One prong is adjustable to effect an initial spacing between prongs approximating the length of a log.
