A freestanding fireplace hearth includes an artificial log set, a snuffer and a fuel tray beneath the snuffer and log set. When refilling is necessary, a drawer containing the fuel tray is pulled out for access, the tray descending away from the snuffer as it is pulled laterally outward. After filling, the drawer is pushed in and the fuel tray moves laterally under, and then upwardly into operative position with respect to, the snuffer. The snuffer can be opened to allow vaporized fuel to ascend into the log set. When lit, an attractive dancing flame is displayed. When the snuffer is closed, fuel vapor flow through the log set closes and the fire is extinguished. Details of tray, drawer, snuffer and hearth construction are disclosed.
