Abstract:
1. A contrivance for simulating smoke and flames emanating from out of an intense burning log stack housed in a firebox comprising: a light source; a colored flicker flame element assembly; a electronic receiver board; a bronze tinted, tempered glass diffusing screen, angled backwards; and a freestanding metal housing cabinet; wherein the diffusing screen is visible to an observer whereupon transmitted fluctuating colored light provides incandescent flashes of light and shadows producing upwards and outward moving images that simulate smoke and flames; and wherein the diffusing screen comprises a lower window area, specifically behind a flame forward simulated translucent log stack fire bed, which is not visible to an observer; and the simulated translucent log stack fire bed positioned against the diffusing screen in front of the window area receiving colored reflected fluctuating light, whereupon the outer surface area of the log stack fire bed is illuminated together with intense transmission through a plurality of openings in between individual protruding log configurations of the log stack bed creating the image of smoke and flames from out of a real log stack fire with an intense burning core simulating a natural roaring fire.
