I used a few small scraps of lumber this evening to get a fire started, and saw some neat secondaries near the rear of the stove...it was like a little fire cloud that was hiding in the corner.
Having been very disappointed with photographs and videos of this type of thing in the past, I thought I might try to fashion a 3D video to see if that helps show the distinct flame layers. This was a bush league effort...I literally shot this holding both cameras by hand, they are different models and manufacturers, so the colors are off and bleed a bit. Surprisingly, however, the effect is actually still there. If you do the good ol' cross-yer-eyes method to join the two windows into one, you might note the little 'cloud' on the left side towards the rear.
(Note that you might need to tilt your head a bit to get them to register vertically. Also, viewing these in fullscreen by clicking the four diverging arrows at the bottom right of the player helps)

Having enjoyed that, i shot another one of me loading a split. I wish i would have left the door open...
(Focusing in the little solitary flame at the center bottom of the log helps get things lined up for me. Also, backing up from the screen a bit avoids the headache.)

I cannot be held responsible if your mother was right and your eyes get stuck like that.
Also, i'm not normally quite this sloppy with reloads...must have been stage fright.
