Birch (WB) Vented Gas Log Complete Sets

$800.00

Description

The Birch Vented Gas Log Set will create a unique look in your fireplace with it's bright birch coloring. This log set features a one-piece front and rear log together with a variety of smaller pieces for stacking. 

Features:

  • Sizes: 18", 24" and 30"
  • Ceramic bonded refractory concrete with steel reinforcement
  • Multiple burner options available
  • Multiple ignition options available

 

This log set is developed from real pieces of wood to create the log patterns and details. Each log is made from ceramic bonded refractory concrete with a high-heat resistant, high alumina refectory cement with a max temperature rating of over 2300º. Each log is hand colored with a ceramic coloration which will not create odor when burned.

The Vented Log Sets are for use in fully functioning wood-burning fireplaces with the damper wide open. Glass doors must be open when burning for proper ventilation, proper combustion and cooling of safety control valves. This log set allows you to customize the burning look of the logs by selecting from multiple burners and ignitions. 

  • Flaming Ember Hearth Kit: single tube burner; 12" depth; natural gas or propane
  • Flaming Ember XTRA Hearth Kit: larger ember booster; 14" depth; natural gas or propane
  • LC Multi-Burner Hearth Kit: tiered with lower and upper burners and large ember bed; fuller flame effect; natural gas or propane
  • CXF Custom Ember Hearth Kit: tapered pan burner; no grate needed; natural gas or propane
  • C Custom Hearth Kit: rectangular full pan burner; no grate needed; natural gas or propane

BURNER CHOICES

F BURNER

The F Burner is our basic single tune burner designed to be used under a log grate. It produces a pleasing, variable flame with a more compact ember bed.


FX BURNER

The FX Burner features the same main burner tube as the F, but adds dual ember booster tubes for a larger, brighter ember bed in front of the logs..

MATCH LIGHTED  

Only for Natural Gas (Propane must have Safety Lighting Control). Light a match, place on ember bed, turn on gas with log lighter valve (usually in the wall or floor outside of the fireplace, but can use valve installed at the burner, like the V17B valve shown in photo.

Standing Pilot Safety Lighting Controls (all are installed inside the firebox):

Safety Lighting Controls [SLC] stop the gas flow to the burner(s) in the event of an interruption in the gas supply or a flameout, so that raw gas will not continue to flow. Propane is heavier than air, so it accumulates rather than vents up a chimney, like Natural Gas does. Accumulated Propane is an explosion hazard, so the use of a SLC prevents this. Therefore, all Propane sets must have a Safety Lighting Control that automatically shuts down the flow of gas. SLC also provide a convenient means of lighting the main burner(s) and, in some units, controlling the flame height.  They are required for all propane installations, advisable for natural gas, and in certain jurisdictions are required for all installations.

There are three main categories of Safety Lighting Controls:
1) Standing Pilots [SP] (Basic, "EASY" and Millivolt); and 
2) Pilot on Demand-Electronic Ignition Systems (no standing pilot) [EIS] 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BASIC MANUAL SAFETY PILOT CONTROL [SPK1]

Turn the valve knob to light the main burner and adjust the flame height. Is not upgradable to remote control. Has 150,000 BTU/hour capacity (up to 36" set size). Available as On-The-Side or Underneath (in Valve Vanisher).

SPK1 Manual Safety Pilot Control.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

"EASY" SLCs are available in three types (all 90,000 BTU/hour maximum capacity – up to 30” size, 36” with ½” fittings and connector tubes):

***Please note:  All of the below "EASY" options use the same valve body.  This means that a "Manual" kit may be upgraded at any time to either "Remote Ready" or "Variable Flame Height Remote Control" functionality with the addition of either the SE-UP1 or RE-UP1 upgrade kits.  The all use a thermocouple pilot system. They are not compatible with Home Automation Systems or Automated Damper systems

Pilot on Demand-Electronic Ignition Systems

There are three types of EIS, based on location of the components:
1) Underneath the set;  
2) On the Side of the set Inside the firebox; and 
3) Outside, but adjacent to, the firebox.
    

1. UNDERNEATH [VEI].

Components are factory assembled in Valve Vanisher Assembly. For 30” and smaller set sizes. Raises the log set 2-5/8” above the floor. ON, OFF and Flame Height functions are controlled by hand-held remote transmitter (included). Battery powered. Cannot be interfaced with home automation system, power vent or wall switch.

Vented gas log sets are for use only in fireplaces in which it is safe to burn wood, which means:

1) The fireplace is made of non-combustible material;

2) It has a Class A All-Fuels chimney;

3) The Chimney/Flue system completely exhausts all of the products of combustion. Vented Pan Burner sets are designed to burn with a yellow, smoky, wood-like flame that produces carbon soot, carbon monoxide and other combustion products that must be exhausted up the chimney.

Vented Sets are not a cure for a smoking (non-drafting) chimney (you should use a Vent-free set).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All Rasmussen Vented Pan Burners are constructed of heavy 16-gauge steel, with ½” schedule-40 pipe (not light duty tubing) for the main burner tube and ¼” steel tubing for the ember booster portions of the FX, CXF and DF-CF, LC and LD burners.  All seams are welded for maximum performance and durability.  Rasmussen vented pan burners utilize a pan filler, which completely covers the burner tube(s).  The gas pressurizes beneath the filler, then breaks through into a dancing, smoky, wood-like flame.  Pan filler varies with gas type: White Sand for Natural Gas; Black Volcanic Ash for Propane (plus an air mixer and orifice).

Rasmussen uses real pieces of wood to develop our log patterns and a painstaking molding process to reproduce the finest detail.  Rasmussen logs are of the Ceramic Bonded Refractory Concrete type.  Rasmussen uses a high-heat resistant, high-alumina refractory cement with a maximum temperature rating of over 2300 degrees F, lightweight expanded clay aggregates and rigid steel rod reinforcing for strength and durability.  All of Rasmussen’s logs are hand colored with a multi-step (up to six colors) process utilizing environmentally-friendly non-paint-based ceramic colorations, which remain colorfast under fire, and which do not create any odor when burned.
