<p>In a simulator 1 for providing a user with a simulated burning log display 10 having a generated flickering flame image 11, the flame image is generated by rotating a shaft 62 with a helically wound light array 80 such that the lights reflect off of a flame shaped mirror 85 onto a partially transparent screen 35 so as to give the impression to a viewer of flickering flames appearing on a front side of the screen and behind a non burning pile of logs.
