A gas fireplace combustion device structure includes a simulated solid fuel and a combustor under the simulated solid fuel. The combustor has a fire exit hole facing the simulated solid fuel, a combustion air inlet passage under the combustor, and a specific slot at the combustor to define a third combustion air inlet. A partition is installed under the combustor; a second combustion air inlet leading to fire exit hole is formed between the partition and the combustor; the combustion air inlet passage is provided for supplying air to the second and third combustion air inlets; a combustion air slot is formed at the middle of the simulated solid fuel to resupply combustion air to the flame above the simulated solid fuel in order to achieve a two-time sectional combustion. This invention can control and resupply combustion air to the flames in different areas to improve the combustion effect.

A barbecue and fireplace combination assembly for grilling, heating, and entertainment includes a housing that defines an interior space. A barbecue, which is fuel gas powered, is mounted to a top of the housing. Fuel gas that flows to the barbecue is configured to be ignited by a user to barbecue a food item. A fireplace, which also is fuel gas powered, is coupled to the housing and is positioned in the interior space. Fuel gas that flows to the fireplace is configured to be lighted by the user to heat an area proximate to the fireplace. An opening is positioned in a front of the housing. A window is coupled to the front of housing so that the window substantially sealably closes the opening. The window is configured to allow visual enjoyment of the fireplace.

An apparatus and method for aesthetic enhancement of indoor and outdoor living spaces combines fire, bubbling water and light reflection to foster enjoyment and relaxation. Wall assemblies having glass panes are spaced apart from each other to provide a chamber to hold water separate from a burner assembly. Air pumped into the water forms air bubbles in the water. A LED light strip illuminates the water, bubbles and glass panes in changing colors.

A fireplace with a smart glass panel and use of a smart glass panel in a fireplace are provided. The fireplace comprises a heating mechanism, and a smart glass panel positioned proximate to the heating mechanism. The smart glass panel comprising a transparent pane, where at least a portion of the smart glass panel has optic or thermal transmission properties that may be altered between a first state and a second state.

A fireplace and method of manufacturing a fireplace. Embodiments of the fireplace comprise a combustion chamber, a front opening allowing viewing within the combustion chamber, and a back wall opposite the front opening. The back wall can be controllably switched between an opaque state and a transparent state. A combustion region between the front opening and the back wall is adapted to provide a flame. A controller coupled to the back wall enables a user to switch the back wall between the opaque and transparent states. In embodiments the back wall comprises a glass panel and switchable film on the glass panel. The controller is coupled to the switchable film.

A log-like block for a gas burner is provided. The block having a pipe with a distal part at least partially made of flexible material and associated with at least one distal end of the pipe, and a pipe proximal part associated with a proximal end of the pipe. The block further includes a passage with shape and dimensions corresponding to those of the distal part. The distal part being built-in the passage so that the distal end is closed therein and the distal part is incapable of being moved relative to the passage. The proximal part being configured to be brought into gas communication with a gas supply source. The block further comprises a pipe outlet opening formed in the pipe distal part, exposed to an exterior of the block so as to allow gas to exit the pipe through the opening.

A modular linear fireplace gas burner system having a plurality of interconnectable pipe modules and one or more burner members of varying length, each said pipe module having a pipe segment, spuds, orifice mounting blocks and mounting brackets to retain one of more of the burner members, wherein the distance D(o) between adjacent spuds on each pipe segment is equal and for joined pipe segments the distance D(c) between the outermost spud of one pipe segment to the outermost spud of the other pipe segment is equal to D(o).

An internet-based device for remotely controlling the flow of electricity to electrical devices that operate on millivolt or low voltage currents, including electrically operated gas powered fireplaces.

A duel-fuel fireplace apparatus is described. In one example, an apparatus includes an enclosure having a door disposed thereon and a wood burning compartment disposed within the enclosure. The wood burning compartment has an insulated housing configured to support temperatures associated with burning of wood within the wood burning compartment. A gas burning compartment is also disposed within the enclosure and has a gas burner disposed therein. A mechanism including a motor is configured to cause movement between a first mode in which the wood burning compartment is viewable through the door and a second mode in which the gas burning compartment is viewable through the door.
