Abstract:

There is disclosed a wedge and a T-shaped placement tool therefor. The wedge is used to separate logs placed in a fireplace or stove, thereby improving the flow of air around them and facilitating their burning. The placement tool can be locked to the wedge by a locking means after insertion thereinto, whereupon once the wedge is properly positioned the placement tool can be disengaged. When removal of the wedge from between the logs is desired, a hook member provided on the placement tool can be hooked through a loop provided on the rearwardly extending surface of the wedge.
