A fireplace rack has sockets formed in various configurations for holding packs of newspaper in spaced relationship in a fireplace for burning. Sinuous bands defining spaced upward projections form paper-holding slots between them. Spaced bands are supported on a base in parallel relationship to form a rack for holding paper packs, or in upwardly flaring relationship or in horizontal relationship to hold logs. Alternatively, upwardly opening slots may be formed between upwardly convergent strips. Wire or rod members can be bent in U-shape and held in spaced relationship to provide slots for holding paper packs and also to form a cradle between opposite upwardly projecting rows of rods to hold logs. Upwardly-opening paper pack holding slots can be spaced apart by forming the slots between wire or rod loops of U-shape, or by a sinuous wire or rod arranged in an upright plane, or two of such wires or rods can be arranged in spaced upright planes. A wire or rod can be convoluted in loops disposed either in a horizontal plane or in a vertical plane forming sockets for rolled paper packs.
