Abstract
A pourable composition for use in gas fireplaces that, when heated to an effective temperature, produces an audible crackling sound and emits the scents of a wood fire. This composition is intended to introduce the pleasant sounds and scents of the wood fire experience to a gas fireplace. The composition is comprised of various edible items, such as seeds and non-edible items such as pumice, volcanic ash, and calcareous sand. A liquid oil component acts as a binder. When placed in a ceramic receptacle, and heated, a tablespoon amount of the composition produces audible crackling sounds for between 30-120 minutes.
