Original Chillbuster Reduced Depth Ventless Gas Log Set 18"
The Rasmussen 18" Original Chillbuster Vent-Free Gas Log Set is designed for homeowners who want the look of a traditional fire without the ash, smoke, or cleanup associated with burning wood. Its reduced-depth design also makes it a practical option for select shallow fireplace openings where space may be limited.
This five-piece log set is crafted from refractory ceramic and paired with Rasmussen's steel C1 burner, which produces a flame concentrated toward the rear of the burner for a natural-looking fire display. The set delivers up to 23,000 BTUs and continues to radiate warmth even after the flames have been turned off.
Choose between natural gas or propane and select the ignition system that best fits your needs, including manual, standing pilot remote, millivolt, or electronic ignition with pilot-on-demand operation. The burner package includes a log grate, embers, volcanic ash, an Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS) pilot, connector, fittings, and a damper clamp for installation.
The C1 burner is certified for both vent-free and vented applications when installed according to manufacturer instructions and local code requirements. Always verify that vent-free gas appliances are permitted in your area before purchasing.

- Verify the fireplace opening and firebox depth to ensure the 18-inch log set is appropriate for your installation.

Cracks in Logs
Mere cracking is not grounds for warranty replacement of a log, as all logs will experience cracking at some time. The logs are subjected to uneven heating, which relieves itself through cracking. Such cracks are most evident in smooth faced logs like split face, manzanita and birch. We reinforce the logs with steel rods to hold together the log (which is much more rigid and effective than other means used by competitors, such as metal shards, mesh, plastic threads or none at all).
