Abstract: An artificial log burning fireplace assembly which produces a visual effect indistinguishable from a real log burning flame in a fireplace. The assembly includes one or more artificial logs lying horizontal along the front of the fireplace. A rod lies horizontally behind the artificial logs. A plurality of elongated pieces of colored fabric are spaced apart and one short end of each piece of colored fabric is attached to the rod. A pair of electrically powered blowers are positioned behind the artificial logs and each blower is mounted near one end of the rod. The blowers are angled one to the other to create in the region surrounding the pieces of colored fabric a turbulent air flow in the region surrounding the pieces of colored fabric thereby creating a visual effect that is indistinguishable from a real log burning flame in a fireplace.
