Rasmussen Product Overview

Gas Log Company Four Generations Strong - Four generations of Rasmussen family members have proudly designed and produced innovative products in Whittier, California. It was 1907 when Rasmus Rasmussen, a Danish immigrant, opened his blacksmith shop on Philadelphia St. in Whittier, CA. In addition to more traditional blacksmith services, Rasmus quickly developed a sideline business making fancy fireplace tools and screens. Through the decades the business evolved and changed, Rasmussen Iron Works made everything from truck body parts, to steel buildings, to welding rod handles used to build ships for WWII. After the war, Rasmus' son, Ted Sr., opened a fireplace retail store in front of the manufacturing shop. Among the items he carried were gas logs.

Dancing Flame Gas Logs Developed

It would be Ted Sr.'s son, T.R., who would make a breakthrough in gas logs in 1958. After seeing a plumber trying to bubble natural gas through water to create a "dancing flame" effect for a restaurant's waiting area, T.R. developed the sand pan burner, which is still sold today and still provides the most realistic wood flame available in a gas log set.

Over the years, T.R. would create many styles of log sets, including oak, split, char, birch, manzanita, driftwood stumps, eucalyptus, and pine cones, as well as geometric shapes.

Through all the changes over the years, craftsmanship, value, and industry leadership have been the constants at Rasmussen Iron Works, Inc. The Spirit of the Blacksmith lives on at Rasmussen!

Log Sets

Rasmussen sells both vented and vent-free gas log sets. Vented logs come in the "evening" and "traditional" series. The evening series features charred-through front logs that allow more flame viewing. The traditional series has a solid texture for the front log.

The Alterna Series offers both vented and vent-free gas log sets and is one of the premier series lines from Rasmussen.

Replacement Parts for Existing Appliances

Replacement parts should be matched by brand, model, serial information when available, and the exact function of the part being replaced.
