fire dog
Log-holding iron stand
A fire dog is a metal support for logs in a fireplace, also called an andiron.
Fire dogs come in pairs, standing upright with horizontal bars to hold wood above the hearth floor, allowing air to circulate beneath for better burning.
The name likely comes from their traditional shape—a vertical post with short legs, vaguely resembling a seated dog.
