a log rolling apparatus includes a body having a depression or well positioned therein and a large sheet of canvas or similar flexible material positioned over the body and the well . the canvas is fixedly attached to respective ends of the body and a dual link pivotal member is provided to which is attached a roller movable between the body and the canvas . sheets of flammable material and optionally other burnable material , such as leaves or the like , may be placed within the well over the top surface of the canvas , and the pivotal member may then be rotated about the body in a manner which causes the canvas to attempt to follow the roller attached to the member , thus causing the top surface of the canvas to slide against itself so as to roll up the flammable sheet material into a log shape with the leaves , if used , enclosed by the sheet material .
