Log-holding hearth irons
Fire dogs are metal supports placed in a fireplace to hold logs above the hearth, allowing air to circulate beneath for better burning.
Also called andirons.
The term appears in phrases like brass fire dogs or decorative fire dogs, referring to pairs of these stands, often ornamental, flanking the firebox.
