A representative enclosure includes: a base defining an interior configured to receive combustible materials, the base having an aperture defining an opening, which communicates with the interior, the opening being configured to receive therethrough the combustible materials; a spark screen configured to prevent access to the interior via the opening when in a closed position in which the spark screen engages the base, the spark screen being further configured to permit a flow of air into and out of the interior; and a wind shield, mounted to the base, having a shield portion extending upwardly from the base and disposed exterior to the spark screen, the shield portion being movable relative to the base.

A decorative mantel article for placement above and/or around a fireplace that is lightweight for facilitation of transport and placement is provided. Additionally, the decorative mantel exhibits a non-combustible quality heretofore undeveloped within the mantel industry, particularly for such articles that are provided with decorative aesthetic designs. Such a lightweight article is provided with all non-combustible components with dimensionally stable structural benefits for long-term mounting and usage, thereby providing a sufficiently strong mantel with a low overall weight measurement. A mounting component is further encompassed herein, as well.

A fire pit insert that is constructed to be shipped and sold in a disassembled state and then assembled by the end user is shown and described. The fire pit insert includes a plurality of wall panels that are removably coupled together to define a burn pit. A plurality of rim portions are attachable to the plurality of wall panels. The plurality of wall panels include an interior wall segment spaced apart from an exterior wall segment to define an interior in the plurality of wall panels that permit airflow there through during operation. The exterior wall segments have a first leg, a second leg, and a recessed portion located between the first and second legs to permit the fire pit insert to be self-supporting when assembled. The fire pit insert can be inserted into a surrounding enclosure.

An electric fireplace assembly (10) that is selectively movable between an open configuration and a closed configuration includes an assembly housing (12); and an electric fireplace (14) that is positioned substantially within the assembly housing (12). The electric fireplace (14) includes (i) a fireplace housing (24) having a first side (24A) that is spaced apart from the assembly housing (12) to define a first assembly cavity (42A); (ii) a simulated log (30) that is positioned within the fireplace housing (24); and (iii) a first fireplace door (16A) that is coupled to the fireplace housing (24). The first fireplace door (16A) is positioned substantially directly in front of the simulated log (30) to obscure a view of the simulated log (30) when the electric fireplace assembly (10) is in the closed configuration. Additionally, the first fireplace door (16A) is positioned within the first assembly cavity (42A) when the electric fireplace assembly (10) is in the open configuration.

A system for providing a combined fireplace and waterfall is disclosed. The system includes a housing configured for storing water. The housing has a front side, wherein a portion of the front side is open. A platform within the housing is configured for receiving a fireplace module on top the platform, the fireplace module being configured for producing a flame that is visible from the front. A horizontally aligned tube is coupled proximate to the front side of the housing, wherein the horizontally aligned tube includes at least one opening for dispersing water. A vertically aligned transparent pane is coupled proximate to the front side of the housing, wherein said transparent pane is configured such that water dispensed from the horizontally aligned tube flows down a front side of the pane. A pump configured to move water through tubing from a lower end of housing to the horizontally aligned tube.

A fire pit barrier may help reduce the likelihood of contact with a side of a fire pit. The fire pit barrier may include a frame couplable to the fire pit. The frame may include a top support, a bottom support, and at least one connector extending between the top support and the bottom support. The frame may also include a shield coupled to the frame. The fire pit barrier may be configured to cover an outer surface of the fire pit and inhibit heat transfer from the fire pit to an exterior side of the shield.
