Apparatus for simulating a solid fuel flame includes a frame within which is mounted a screen. An enclosure is provided below the screen having a transparent glass refractor member forming a top wall of the enclosure. The refractor member comprises a number of juxtaposed shaped refractor bodies arranged in an edge to edge array on a carrier plate. A cylindrical container is rotatably mounted within the enclosure. A motor rotates the container on a support. The container is partially filled with a red or brown coloured liquid. Lamps within the enclosure are operable to shine light through the coloured liquid in the container and through the refractor member onto the screen. Movement of the coloured liquid, which may be enhanced by internal projections in the container, causes flickering of the light projected onto the screen to give a flame effect simulating a solid fuel fire.
