Abstract
A vertical stack—vertical draft fireplace grate which has a forwardly inclined log retaining portion with a lowermost log in close proximity to the floor of the fireplace and which cooperates with the rear wall of the fireplace to hold logs in a V-shaped stack immediately adjacent the wall. Undesired smoke is eliminated, starting facilitated and heat radiation forwardly through the fireplace opening greatly enhanced, while both safety and automatic feeding features are also enhanced.
