Design Specialties Fireplace Northwoods Design Black Andiron
- What are andirons? Andirons, also known as firedogs, have been in use for centuries. Andirons are used in pairs. Logs are laid atop the supports for burning in a wood fireplace. The andirons keep wood off the fireplace floor, allowing for better burning and less smoke generation. Andirons can be used in place of a fire grate (or basket), or they can be placed along either side of the grate to provide decoration..

The bars for the logs are 12 inches long to support multiple pieces of wood, and they are 4 inches tall to optimize airflow and promote a proper fire.
