Rasmussen Log Lighter Burners – Gas Log Lighter Pipe & “T” Burners for Wood-Burning Fireplaces (NG or LP)

The Rasmussen Log Lighter Burners make starting a wood fire fast, clean, and convenient without the mess of kindling or starter sticks. Installed in the firebox of your wood-burning fireplace, these gas log lighter pipes provide a controlled line of flame under your logs, so you can light a match, turn the key, and quickly bring your wood fire to life.

Available in several configurations and gas types, Rasmussen log lighters are designed for both natural gas and propane applications. Choose from standard “PL” yellow flame burners for natural gas, “PLL” burners with an air mixer for a bluer, more efficient flame (suitable for propane or natural gas), and “TPL” “T”-shaped burners that spread flame wider under larger log stacks.

Whether you’re upgrading an existing masonry fireplace or outfitting a new build, these burners offer a simple, reliable way to get your wood logs burning faster and more evenly so you spend less time fussing with kindling and more time enjoying the fire.
