Abstract
A firelog grate for retaining fire starters is disclosed. The grate has a front member and a rear member connected together by a transverse bars to form a cradle for holding firelogs. Pairs of legs extend down from the cradle and firelog retaining projections extend upward from the upper surface of the cradle. The rear member of the grate has a plurality of projections that extend upwardly from the cradle and the bars are disposed at ninety degrees to the projections. The bars have a wider section connected to the rear member and a narrower section connected to the front member. The wider sections of the bars are adapted to receive a firelog thereon. When a paper-wrapped artificial firelog is placed on the grate, the wider sections of the bars push the wrapper into contact with the bottom surface of the firelog and the projections push the paper wrapper into contact with the rear surface of the firelog.
