Welcome To Our New Rasmussen Gas Logs Blog

Welcome to the first post of the new blog for Rasmussen Gas Logs. I am Rett Rasmussen, Vice President of Rasmussen Iron Works, Inc. We are a four-generation family business located in Whittier, California. We were founded in 1907 by my great-grandfather Rasmus as a blacksmith shop. Since 1958, when my dad T.R. invented the sand pan gas log burner, we have specialized in gas log sets. Over the years we have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge about gas logs, gas burners, fireplaces, design, product develpoment, manufacturing, business and troubleshooting. The problem we have had is in getting this knowledge outside the walls of our facility in a meaningful manner. Enter the blog.

We also manufacture Solaire Infrared Grilling Systems, a broad line of quality gas grills that feature the searing heat of the Solaire infrared burner (think Ruth's Chris in your own backyard). But this blog will not be about Solaire - perhaps a second blog?!

My goal is to post, among other things, technical troubleshooting and tips; product selection criteria; comments on trends, regulatory issues and the industry; and new products. I welcome comments as a means of influencing future posts for the benefit of all.
