Abstract
An artificial log set including a fire grate having a base and an upper section pivotally connected to the base, pivotable between a lowered burning position and a raised access position. A fuel reservoir is supported by the base. A burner head is attached to the upper section so as to be positioned directly over the fuel reservoir when the upper section is in its lowered burning position, and so as to allow access to the fuel reservoir when the upper section is in its raised access position.
Claims18
An artificial log set comprising:
- a fire grate including a base and an upper section pivotally connected to said base, said upper section pivotable between a lowered burning position and a raised access position;
- a fuel reservoir supported by said base;
- a burner head attached to said upper section so as to be positioned directly over said fuel reservoir when said upper section is in its lowered burning position, and so as to allow access to said fuel reservoir when said upper section is in its raised access position;
- said burner head being rectangular in configuration and having a burner head interior volume in communication with said fuel reservoir when said upper section is in its lowered burning position, said burner head interior volume being defined by a pair of burner head end walls, a pair of opposed burner head main walls, and a burner head top;
- said burner head top having a combustion air intake slotted opening and a flame outlet slotted opening separated by a top partial wall extending between said burner head end walls;
- and
- said burner head including an internal baffle extending horizontally between said burner head end walls and downwardly from said top partial wall towards said fuel reservoir, said internal baffle dividing said interior volume into a combustion air zone in direct communication with said combustion air intake slotted opening and a flame zone in direct communication with said flame outlet slotted opening.

A burner for liquid or gelled-liquid fuel, comprising:
- a fuel reservoir portion and a burner head portion over said fuel reservoir portion;
- at least said burner head portion being rectangular in configuration, and having a burner head interior volume above and in communication with said fuel reservoir portion, said burner head interior volume being defined by a pair of burner head end walls, a pair of opposed burner head main walls, and a burner head top;
- said burner head top having a combustion air intake slotted opening and a flame outlet slotted opening separated by a top partial wall extending between said burner head end walls;
- and
- an internal baffle within said burner head extending horizontally between said burner head end walls and downwardly from said top partial wall towards said fuel reservoir portion, said internal baffle dividing said interior volume into a combustion air zone in direct communication with said combustion air intake slotted opening and a flame zone in direct communication with said flame outlet slotted opening.
