CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application 61 / 222,228 filed Jul. 1, 2009. The content of this prior application is incorporated by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present disclosure is in the technical field of log holding or supporting. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a log supporting apparatus for supporting logs and the like in a fireplace for burning.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] Burning wood in a fireplace can be difficult under certain circumstances. In particular, insufficient airflow can choke a fire. This results in incomplete burning of the wood, smoke, and less heat generated.

[0004] U.S. Pat. No. 6,637,713 Kleve et al. describes a triangular teepee-shaped apparatus for supporting logs in a fireplace. Kleve et al. discusses the need for supporting logs in a partly upright position inclined toward one another in a fireplace for easier or better burning of t...
