Abstract:
A fire log arrangement comprising:a first log defining an elongate configuration defining an upper terminal edge and a lower terminal edge along a length thereof, an interior face being defined between said upper terminal edge and said lower terminal edge and having a convex configuration, said lower terminal edge of said first log being positioned on a fire support, said first log being non-combustible and being configured to simulate a wood log;a second log defining an elongate configuration defining an upper terminal edge and a lower terminal edge alone a length thereof, an interior face being defined between said upper terminal edge and said lower terminal edge and having a convex configuration, said second log being non-combustible and being configured to simulate a wood log, said lower terminal edge of said second log being positioned on said fire support and being spaced apart from said first log lower terminal edge such that a fuel space is defined between said first log interior face and said second log interior face and terminating at a lower limit on said fire support, said first log and said second log being oriented in a substantial parallel relationship one to another, said fuel space defining a fire chamber at a lower end thereof, said fuel space for receiving a combustible fuel, said first log interior face and said second log interior face being oriented such that said fuel space is non-diverging from said first log upper terminal edge and said second log upper terminal edge to said first log lower terminal edge and said second log lower terminal edge to form a funnel-type configuration to induce the combustible fuel to fall inward between said first log and said second log into said fire chamber, said fire support being configured to allow air to flow therethrough and between said first log and said second log into said fuel space, said fire support further being configured to retain substantially all unconsumed portions of the combustible fuel.
