Abstract
An artificial log assembly is provided which produces a realistic looking flame resembling that of a natural wood log fire. The assembly includes a grate, cement logs positioned upon the grate, and a combustible log made from wax or other clean burning material positioned among the cement logs. The grate includes steps which allows the artificial logs to be positioned in such a manner that they resemble a stack of natural wood logs. One or more cement logs extend over the combustible log to deflect the flame generated thereby. An ash pan is removably positioned beneath the grate for trapping the ash generated by the combustible log.
