The ultimate Fireplace Experience is to
preserve that authentic late Nineteenth Century period look of your coal
burning fireplace with this simple but elegant reproduction Gas burning
Chillbuster Americana Coal Grate by Rasmussen of
Whitter, California. Consideration must be given to the surrounding material used
to face the opening of the fireplace. Visit us in Winston Salem, near Old Town, Clemmons,
King, Greensboro, Highpoint, North Carolina.
Chillbuster' Coal Basket with Hi-Low Flame control
or remote On-Off Control
Chillbuster CoalFire
is a vent-free coal effect gas fire set that Rasmussen has
designed
in response to customer's needs, such as: |
- Victorian, coal burning or fireplace which was
not designed for burning wood, but has a flue.
- Flue is very small in comparison to the area of the
opening, which may result in spillage of combustion
products into the room.
- Chimney is old. As a result, fireplace cannot be
used without an expensive reline or reconstruction.
- You like the appearance of a coal-effect basket as
something different from what everyone else has in their
fireplace.
- You want to turn your unused fireplace into a source
of heat for the room.

The lowest point of flame is about 5 1/8" from the floor. Everything
below that is the "guts" of the system
(burner ventures, control valve, plumbing). The glow starts at about
5.5" and emanates from stainless steel
pieces that hold the coals, as well as from the coals themselves.
INSTALLATION HAS TO BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER, GAS SUPPLIER
OR NFI CERTIFIED INSTALLER!

VENT FREE COAL BASKETS
Vent Free Coal Baskets
have recently evolved to a state of design, function and
safety that have made them highly popular for both older
homes with pre-existing small coal burning fireplaces or for
the new construction market.
Typical Features of the Vent Free Coal Basket
are:
- Energy efficient - (Heat stays in the home)
- Does not require a working chimney
- Can be installed in approved vent free fireboxes
for new construction
- glowing embers
- less gas consumption and smaller flame
- inexpensive way to create a working Victorian
fireplace look in new construction or remodel work
where existing chimneys are no longer safe
|
Special features include easy to operate controls and optional
remote, the very latest in flame supervision devices and a piezo
spark igniter to give instant response. A pilot position on the
controls makes lighting quick and easy. Our Ceramic Coals
radiate heat from a large surface area and all control knobs are
concealed by a decorative cover plate. Our burners are available
in several sizes and can be used in some cases with an existing
grate.
Safety is assured with our CSA certified burners and Zero
Clearance Fireboxes.
Chillbuster Burners are
Massachusetts Certrified.
All units are available in either Natural Gas or Propane. We
offer both vented and vent-free units for new construction as
well as for use in existing fireplaces.
