Chillbuster® CoalFire™ Fireplace Heater
Chillbuster® CoalFire™ is a vent-free coal-effect gas fire set designed for
small, shallow depth Victorian, coal and wood burning fireplaces.
Chillbuster® CoalFire is a vent-free coal effect gas fire set designed for:
- Victorian, coal burning or fireplaces which were not designed for burning wood, but has a flue.
- Flue area is very small in comparison to the area of the opening, resulting in spillage of combustion products.
- Chimney is old. As a result, fireplace cannot be used without an expensive reline or reconstruction.
- Shallow depth of the fireplace. Most traditional gas log sets require a minimum of 12" of depth.
- You like the appearance of a coal-effect basket as a pleasing alternative to traditional gas logs
- 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 sets
- Infinite Manual Control; RE Remote Control System; or Millivolt Control.
- Heating Unit (burners, coals and control) can be purchased separately to be used with any basket
in which the bottom is removed, or purchased with one of the three baskets made by Rasmussen.
- 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.
- Certified to both the vent-free (ANSI Z21.11.2) and vented (ANSI Z21.60) standards, so CoalFire can
be used in vent-free, vented and reduced vent installations.
Chillbuster® CoalFire™ Specifications:
- Height (to top of burner) = 6.625”
- Height (to top of coals) = 10.5”
- Lowest point of flame = approx. 5 1/8” from the floor. Everything below that is the “guts” of the
system (burner venturis, control valve, plumbing). The glow starts at about 5.5" and emanates
from the coals as well as the stainless steel pieces that hold the coals.
- Absolute minimum fireplace depth required = 6.5”, the maximum forward-most projection of the flame.
- Minimum Fireplace Depth Required for Baskets: Classic = 9.5”; Americana and Moderne = 8.375”
