PORTABLE ARTIFICIAL CAMPFIRE

摘要

A portable artificial campfire device (10) is disclosed. The device (10) includes a receptacle (12) having upper and lower portions (14), an open top (18) defined by a peripheral edge (20) of the upper portion, and an interior bottom surface (24). A burner (22) is positioned above the interior bottom surface (24) and is adapted to provide a flame (85) of variable height. A pressurized fuel source (32) is positioned exterior to the receptacle (12), and a control member (38) couples the fuel source (32) with the burner (22) for controlling the flow of fuel to the burner (22) and the size of flame (85) emitted by the burner (22). A plurality of artificial refractory log members (48) are secured to each other in crisscross fashion to form a log cluster (46). A structure (52, 58) is provided for supporting the log cluster (46) within the receptacle (12). Finally, a mechanism (52, 58, 60, 64) is provided for selectively adjusting the vertical position of the log cluster (56) in the receptacle (12) to vary the vertical position of the log cluster (56) relative to the plane the open top (18).
