Abstract
A hot air andiron for use in a fireplace instead of a regular andiron or grate. The hot air andiron comprises a C-shaped section fabricated from a pipe of substantial diameter. The C-shaped section has substantially parallel leg portions, and an inlet header is connected to one leg portion adjacent the free end thereof for supplying air into and through the C-shaped section. The header has a fan associated with the inlet end thereof, and the other leg portion of the C-shaped section has a discharge opening at the free end thereof for discharge of heated air. The C-shaped section is supported on legs which space it several inches above the floor. The parallel leg portions are positioned to permit logs to be supported directly thereon and extend transversely therebetween, and log holding elements are fixed to the leg portions and project upwardly therefrom for assisting in holding the logs on the leg portions.
