Abstract: An artificial log set assembly including a burner and an electric ember bed for creating a more realistic simulated wood fire experience. The burner may be a yellow flame burner, a blue flame burner or an infrared burner, and may be configured for installation in a vented or unvented hearth product. The artificial log set assembly may include a common controlling device for remote control of various components of the artificial log set assembly, including, for example, the control valve assembly for controlling the on or off function of the burner flame and the ignition device for sting the pilot flame. In another aspect of the disclosure, an artificial log set assembly may include an electric artificial log set and a burner for creating a glowing ember bed.

Abstract: The artificial embers can generally be used in any gas appliance with a gas fired log set that has a burner and are formed of silicon carbide or alumina. A plurality of the embers are placed loosely on a burner in registry with the flames of the burner in order to produce a simulation of actual glowing embers. The plurality of glowing embers simulates an actual ash bed or coals within the gas fired log set. The glowing artificial embers release a minimal amount of NO2 and CO emissions while creating a more realistic and brighter glow.
