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.
Chillbuster CoalFire Fireplace Heater ("C9" series) incorporates the following features:
  • State-of-the-art lanced-port opposed-louver burner, the heart of all Rasmussen Chillbuster vent-free gas logs since 1994.
  •  Two control options: (1) Variable Flame Height Wireless Remote Control (control the flame height like a TV volume control), and (2) Millivolt control, which can be operated with either the installed switch or a variety of accessories, such as a wall switch, thermostat, wall timer or wireless remote control (on/off only)
  • Heating Unit (burners and control) can be purchased separately to be used with any basket in which the bottom is removed.
  • Two sizes of Heating Units: (1) C9A - 33,000 BTU/hour max.; and (2) C9B - 40,000 BTU/hour max.
  • The coals are made from the same refractory material from which we make our gas log sets. No potentially harmful ceramic fiber.
  • Three Rasmussen-made baskets for each of the two size burners are welded steel plate and bar construction and include these styles:
                                                 1.  Classic
                                                 2.  Americana
                                                 3.  Moderne

The absolute minimum fireplace depth is 6.5", which is the maximum forward-most projection of the flame.
 
The burner control units are available with:
  • ME - Manual control (variable flame adjustment on control knob) - can be upgraded to SE or RE with appropriate kit

  • SE - Solenoid remote (variable flame adjustment on control knob - Remote control must be purchased separately)

  • RE - Variable remote adjusts flame height and on off (includes remote control)

  • Available in natural and propane gas
    (cannot be field converted)


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.

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.
