Abstract: Fireback support apparatus for supporting a fireback in a fireplace or other area, which does not require attachment to a wall and which provides for varying the angle with respect to the vertical of the fireback. The apparatus includes two base members with flat horizontal surfaces with two vertical upright rear walls, with a transverse opening therebetween and a plurality of steps onto which a fireback is placed for elevational and angular position. Each of the base members also has an opening in the horizontal surface of the upright portion into which legs from a grate may be placed.
