GAS-FIRED FIREPLACE LOGSET

A fireplace logset which can be used with a vent-free or vented gas burning fireplace. The logset includes a gas burner, an electric heating element or a lamp array, simulated noncombustible logs and twigs, a grate on which the simulated logs and twigs are held, a reflecting plate, and ember media made of glass pieces, ceramic fiber materials, mineral wool, volcanic stone, or other noncombustibles which simulate cinders or burning embers. The simulated logs and twigs are arranged in a fixed orientation on the grate and the gas burner is fixed in place above the grate such that flames from ignited gas exiting the burner's openings does not impinge to any large extent on the simulated logs and twigs. The electric heating element may be placed under the grate near its front and below some of the logs and twigs. The simulated ember material is placed below the front of the grate such chat it is illuminated by the flames of the burner and by the radiated light of the electric heater or the lamp array. Flames and light from the electric heater or lamp array is reflected by the reflecting plate into the tear of the ember media.
