Andirons, also called fire dogs, support wooden logs as they burn in a fireplace. In elevating the logs off the ground, andirons allow air to flow under the logs and create a better fire with less smoke. The vertical key-shaped standards in the front prevent burning logs from rolling off the fire and into the room.Dimensions
