Abstract

A burner for a gas fireplace has a burner tube with a plurality of gas ports that provide flames for combustion when the burner is operating. A plate is positioned above the burner tube and has apertures that align with the ports of the tube such that flame passes through the apertures and causes the plate to heat along the aperture preferably to a red heat. The burner tube is spaced from but close to the plate to provide for secondary combustion air to pass between the burner and the plate and out through the apertures. The apertures are elongated slots formed in a serpentine fashion so that, when the plate is glowing with a red heat and used in connection with artificial logs there is realistic appearance of real wood burning and there is efficient combustion.
