Abstract
The invention comprises a portable open flame fireplace. The invention has a planar base with a plurality of gas orifices. The base is of any desired shape. The gas is directed through channels in the base to the orifices, where it emerges and ignites. In an alternate embodiment, the base is enclosed with a watertight windscreen above the base. The windscreen may also contain water, which allows the illusion of flames emerging from a free water surface. The invention further comprises a detachable portable fuel source, such as a propane gas bottle. The invention also has a removable cover for storage and transport.
