Can I use a Corston switch with a Bromic heater or Affinity controller?
Published October 14th, 2026 by rdearmas
Corston control compatibility depends on the switching method: Corston cannot integrate with the Bromic Affinity controller, because the required 0–10V control capability is not available in the Corston product reviewed. A Corston double-pole wall on/off switch might directly switch a Bromic heater if a correctly rated 240V model exists, but it woul
What should I do if the valve motor drive appears stuck?
Published October 14th, 2026 by rdearmas
On some Rasmussen motorized-valve remote systems, troubleshooting can start with these steps: Replace the four AA receiver batteries. If the motor operates but the valve does not respond, the valve plunger may be sticking. The motor drive can be removed at the wrench flats, the plunger tip wiped clean, and the motor drive reinstalled. Do not overtig
Do Rasmussen burners need to be derated at higher elevations?
Published October 14th, 2026 by rdearmas
Rasmussen pan burners generally do not require altitude derating. A Rasmussen vent-free set has operated at approximately 8,100 feet without an orifice change or observed performance loss. Because code, listing, installation, and gas-supply requirements may vary by product and location, current product instructions and local requirements should gove
Do Bromic gas heaters need a high-altitude kit?
Published October 14th, 2026 by rdearmas
Generally, no. A separate high-altitude kit has not been required for Bromic gas heaters, including installations at around 4,300 feet. Similar infrared burner technology has operated successfully at substantially higher elevations without observed performance loss. Always check the current Bromic installation instructions and local gas-code require
Why can a burner have adequate gas pressure but still be underfired?
Published October 14th, 2026 by rdearmas
A burner can show adequate static pressure and still be underfired if the gas-supply path cannot deliver the required volume at the burner’s rated input. For example, in one CS48 installation, a 1/2-inch gas line at 7 inches water column had roughly 120,000 BTU/hour of capacity, while the CS48 is rated at 175,000 BTU/hour. Increasing the measured pr
Can I change my installed control system to add variable flame-height control?
Published October 14th, 2026 by rdearmas
Not necessarily. On FireBall installations, changing from one certified control configuration to another has required replacing the complete burner/chassis/control assembly. Field modification is not permitted because the different control systems use different bracketing and the assembly is certification-controlled. Before planning a control upgrad
Where should the fireplace gas shutoff valve be installed?
Published October 14th, 2026 by rdearmas
Applicable codes commonly require the log-lighter/fireplace gas shutoff valve to be located outside the firebox but within reach. An additional valve may sometimes be installed inside the fireplace for convenience, but an inside-only shutoff can create a safety problem if a fire or leak makes the firebox inaccessible. Installation must comply with c
What fuel types do Rasmussen gas logs use, and will they work during a power outage?
Published October 14th, 2026 by rdearmas
Rasmussen gas log sets use either Natural Gas or Propane. Rasmussen does not manufacture electric log sets. Depending on the system, most Rasmussen lighting/control systems either run on batteries or require no electrical power. This can allow most gas log configurations to operate during a power outage.
Why does my sand-pan burner sometimes smell like gas after shutdown?
Published October 14th, 2026 by rdearmas
A brief lingering gas odor can occur after a sand-pan burner is turned off because a small amount of gas can remain in the sand after gas flow stops. Without normal gas-flow pressure, that residual gas may not reach the surface to burn off immediately. The fireplace damper should remain fully open for a vented installation. If the gas odor persists
What sand should I use in a Rasmussen sand-pan burner?
Published October 14th, 2026 by rdearmas
Use the sand specified and supplied by Rasmussen as the functional burner fill. Rasmussen has used a particular grade of sand in its pan-type burners since the design was introduced. Decorative sand that has not been verified by Rasmussen should not replace the functional Rasmussen burner sand. If a project calls for a different decorative appearanc
Why does the burner in my Solaire portable grill not stay secured?
Published October 14th, 2026 by rdearmas
Check the bracket at the bottom of the portable grill firebox. If that bracket is bent, the tube on the bottom of the burner may not engage securely. Remove the burner and inspect the firebox bracket before assuming that the burner itself is defective.
Do Bromic outdoor radiant gas heaters use thermostats?
Published October 14th, 2026 by rdearmas
No. Thermostats are generally associated with heating enclosed spaces, where room-air temperature is the control objective. Bromic outdoor gas patio heaters are radiant heaters intended for unconfined outdoor spaces. They primarily heat people and surfaces rather than controlling air temperature. Thermostats are not offered or recommended by Bromic
Where should I place a thermometer when using the Solaire rotisserie?
Published October 14th, 2026 by rdearmas
For a Solaire grill without a rear infrared rotisserie burner, the thermometer can be positioned on the rear ledge where the grill configuration provides sufficient space. See the current Great Grilling Simplified guide for the illustrated placement.
