Abstract: A simulated solid fuel effect gas fire comprising two elongate simulated solid fuel elements in the form of logs, with a partially aerated gas burner arranged in front of and below each log with respect to the front of the fire. Thus, in use, the flames from the burners engage a lower front portion of the logs, the flames then passing around the front of the logs. By this arrangement the lower front regions of the logs are heated to glow as radiants and the flames subsequently lick around the front of the logs as yellow flames, in accord with the visual effect of a real fire, complete combustion having been attained in the ambient atmosphere in front of the logs to thus form the yellow flames. By the provision of nodules by virtue of a bark pattern on the upper front portion of the logs, the flames heat the nodules to red heat and enhance both the radiant heat derived from the fire and the visual effect of the fire.
