Abstract: The present invention is directed to several embodiments or variations of a fire grate system for a low-emission outdoor fire pit or fire ring. Several of these variations use the same fundamental fire grate framework within the system and are adapted burn liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), a common example of which is propane. A first embodiment of the invention may simulate a wood fire without burning wood by securely attaching artificial ceramic (or similarly constructed) fire logs to a LPG gas-burning fire grate framework. A second, alternative embodiment of the present invention is a gas/wood hybrid system and that uses LPG fuel to reduce emissions from a wood fire.
