  • Patent number: 4338914
    Abstract: A combination air tunnel and andiron device conducts air from a fireplace floor opening, forward through an adjustable damper opening and then over and under logs supported spacedly above the upper surface of the air tunnel. The principal structural members are a pair of I-beams extending forwardly from a rear tunnel plate, of a depth roughly twice as great as the height of the air tunnel; their upper chords serve as heavy duty andiron surfaces on which firewood rests, confined forwardly and rearwardly by the upstanding extensions of the forward and rear plates of the tunnel. The space between the air tunnel and the andiron surfaces provides a reservoir for hot coals, to kindle newly added logs. A draft provision is made in the forward plate in registration with the air tunnel.
