An ornamental flame assembly which provides or produces an ornamental flame within a furnishing object such as a patio table or dining room table. The table has a noncombustible media recess which holds for example a layer of noncombustible stone aggregate material, sand, water, glass or other desired ornamental material. Contained within the media recess is a vapor fuel dispersion assembly. This assembly has a staging section which in one form is a bowl or cup arranged so that the top edge of the cup is held just below the top surface of the noncombustible media. Within the staging section is a vapor fuel dispersion section. This dispersion section in one form is an inverted cup which has a bottom edge which is serrated to provide for vapor fuel to pass into the inner region of the inverted cup and be distributed into the bottom region of the staging section. The dispersion assembly is fed with vapor fuel which in one form is propane. The vapor fuel source is a propane tank in one form which is held within the furnishing object's support, such as the table leg. The propane tank feeds a line directly into the dispersion section cup which then feeds the propane fuel into the staging section. As the propane fills the staging section cup, a volume of propane is presented at the top surface of the noncombustible media in the desired flame bum configuration. A control system provides for variation in flame heights, ignition, and burn sequences. The control system also can orchestrate, for example, multiple tables having multiple ornamental flame assemblies for a plurality of ornamental flame effects.
