The HomComfort fire back legs provide a stable base for setting your fire back on and can be used both in front or behind the fire area so you can display your back all year long. Fire backs protect the masonry back wall of your fireplace and help to radiate the heat back into your living space. They work well for both wood and gas logs and enhance the appearance of your fireplace by reflecting light from the fire. Made from heavy cast iron, fire backs are durable and long-lasting.
