Abstract: A firelog burner is provided that includes a base and an artificial firelog support frame pivoted to the base. A pair of non-burning artificial firelogs are removably mounted on the support frame. The base has a fire directing member extending along a back thereof and in an upward direction for directing flame between the artificial fire logs. The non-burning artificial fire logs in the support frame are operably pivoted above the base and toward the flame directing member to raise the support frame and the non-burning artificial firelogs for the insertion of placement of a burning artificial firelog in the base. The firelogs and support frame may then be pivoted in the opposite direction to an operating position.

Abstract: A freestanding fireplace hearth includes an artificial log set, a snuffer and a fuel tray beneath the snuffer and log set. When refilling is necessary, a drawer containing the fuel tray is pulled out for access, the tray descending away from the snuffer as it is pulled laterally outward. After filling, the drawer is pushed in and the fuel tray moves laterally under, and then upwardly into operative position with respect to, the snuffer. The snuffer can be opened to allow vaporized fuel to ascend into the log set. When lit, an attractive dancing flame is displayed. When the snuffer is closed, fuel vapor flow through the log set closes and the fire is extinguished. Details of tray, drawer, snuffer and hearth construction are disclosed.
