Abstract
A fireplace having a plurality of faux logs sequentially lit using a single ignitor and flame jumping between the faux logs. The ignitor ignites a first faux log, which after a time period ignites a neighboring second faux log. After another time period, the second faux log ignites a neighboring third faux log and so on. The sequentially lighting of the faux logs creates an aesthetically pleasing lighting sequence, and also a pleasing sequential lighting sound. The faux logs are individually supported by a respective conduit over media disposed on an ember bed and which individually supplies gas to the respective faux log.
