Log-like block for a gas burner and a method for producing the same

A gas burner for a fireplace, the gas burner comprising:

• at least one log-like block comprising:
• a pipe having a pipe distal part made at least in part of a flexible material and associated with at least one distal end of the pipe, and a pipe proximal part associated with a proximal end of the pipe;
• a block body having a passage with a passage shape and dimensions corresponding to those of the pipe distal part, the pipe distal part being built-in in said passage so that the at least one pipe distal end is closed therein and the pipe distal part is free of a capability of being moved relative to the passage, the pipe proximal part with the proximal end of the pipe being configured to be brought into a gas communication with a gas supply source;
• at least one pipe outlet opening having an elongated shape, formed in the pipe distal part, and exposed to an exterior of the block through a channel formed in the block body aligned with the at least one outlet so as to allow a gas within the pipe to exit the pipe distal part through said opening to the exterior of the block body;
• and
• a holder configured to detachably hold the log-like block in a desired orientation in an interior of the fireplace and to establish the gas communication between the pipe and the gas supply source the holder comprising a gas outlet port having inner dimensions conforming to outer dimensions of the proximal part of the pipe and configured to receive therein the proximal part of the pipe to provide an airtight channel for said gas communication.
