At this time every Peterson remote pilot kit comes standard with a basic on/off remote transmitter and receiver, greatly simplifying your control system decision. If you would like to upgrade to a deluxe remote you will end up with both the basic remote and the deluxe remotes, Peterson does not offer any remote pilot kits which come standard with a Deluxe Remote.

Below is a simple break down of each of the Peterson Remote controls and the functions they are capable of. We do not recommend upgrading to any of the deluxe remote controls if you own a Vented Peterson Log Set. The thermostatic feature will not have the desired impact with a vented unit, this feature is only useful on the Vent Free Logs Sets.

Vented Ignition Options

Match Light: The Match Light lighting method is the most basic method, with no pilot valve assembly at all. Just place your match or lighter in the fireplace near the log burner, turn on the gas with your key valve already installed near your fireplace. Control the flame height by adjusting your key valve. Match Light is not an available option for Fireplaces using propane.

Manual Safety Pilot: The manual safety pilot lighting method features a pilot valve assembly you install on your burner. It features a pilot light that you can keep lit allowing you to turn the log set on and off without ever holding a match to the burner. The safety pilot kit has a safety mechanism built in so if the pilot light ever goes out it will shut off the gas supply.

Basic On/Off Remote: The On/Off remote lighting method features a pilot valve assembly installed with your burner. It has a pilot light that you can keep lit allowing you to turn the log set on and off with the included remote control. You cannot however adjust the flame height with the remote. The safety pilot kit has a safety mechanism built in so if the pilot light ever goes out it will shut off the gas supply.

Variable Flame Remote: The Variable Flame Remote lighting method features an included pilot valve assembly you install on your burner. It has a pilot light that you can keep lit giving you the ability to turn the log set on and off as well as adjusts the flame height, all with the included remote control. The safety pilot kit has a safety mechanism built in so if the pilot light ever goes out it will shut off the gas supply.

Electronic On/Off Remote: The electronic on/off remote lighting method features a non-standing pilot assembly installed with your burner. With this feature, the pilot light on your gas log set does not stay lit. Each time you turn the log set on with your remote, an electronic signal is sent to the valve assembly, lighting the pilot, which then ignites the log set. The pilot light then goes out.

Vent Free Ignition Options

Manual Safety Pilot:

The Manual Safety Pilot lighting method features a pilot valve assembly pre-installed on your burner. You then have a pilot light that you can keep lit giving you the ability to turn the log set on and off as many times as you want without ever holding a match to the burner. The safety pilot kit has a safety mechanism built in which senses if the pilot light ever goes out and shuts off the gas supply. It also will shut off the gas supply if it senses a lack of oxygen.

As nice as it may look to have a log set that goes from wall to wall with-in your fireplace, you will need a certain amount of breathing room to center the set after taking into consideration the space needed to make your gas connections. Not providing enough space for the gas log set can create a difficult install, an off center log set, operational issues, and even potentially ruin a control valve.

Measuring Your Fireplace

Each of the Peterson Real Fyre log and burner sets will have several measurements listed with it to help guide you in fitting your log set.

The first step is to measure your existing fireplace for opening width (A), height (B), rear width (C) and depth (D)

Be sure to only measure the usable floor space of your fireplace.  There may be areas that are intended to be used for door installation, fire screens or space that is intended to be purely cosmetic.  Comparing these measurements against the measurements provided with each log and burner set will allow you to see if a certain size log set with a specific ignition system will fit in your fireplace.

Peterson Gas Log Sizing Example

As an example lets say you are interested in purchasing a 24″ Charred Cedar Vented Log Set / G45 Triple T Millivolt Pilot Natural Gas Burner with Remote.  This log and burner set has the following listed Minimum Hearth Dimensions.  Width at the mid point of the fireplace – 36″  Height – 18″ Depth – 14″.

And your fireplace measurements are as follows:  Opening Width (A) – 42″  Height (B) – 22″ Depth (D)-14″ Rear Width (C) – 32″

By comparing the two sets of dimensions it becomes clear that this log set will fit within this fireplace.  There are 4″ of additional height over what is needed.  The depth is exactly the same at 14″. And taking the opening width (42″) and rear width (32″), adding them together (74″) and dividing by 2 you get the mid-point width of the fireplace which would be 37″.

These measurements provided from the manufacturer are meant to allow for safe and effective use of your Peterson Real Fyre Gas Logs.

Infrared burners, often used by restaurants, quickly cook steaks and other thick meats by heating the meat directly, while your gas and charcoal grills use hot air circulation to cook the meat. Infrared burners, available on all of our Fire Magic Grills, allow you to immediately sear the outside of meat, locking in the moisture and giving the meat a charcoal-like taste.

These infrared burners heat up and cook food quickly so, here are some tips you’ll want to know before using them.

1. Fire up your grill.
Turn on the gas according to the instructions for you particular Fire Magic Grill and turn on the infrared burner. Your infrared burner will heat up quickly, in just one to two minutes, cutting the grill time down.

2. Place the meat on the grate above the infrared burner.
Wait about one minute, then flip the meat and sear the other side. Infrared burners will reach high temperatures so, it’s best to use thick cuts of meat such as steaks and pork chops. Try to avoid using thinner cuts like fish and vegetables as they tend to char.

Fire Magic Drop-in Infrared Burner

3. Finish cooking the meat.
You have two options on how you can complete your dish. First, leave the meat on the infrared burner, flipping it every 30 seconds to one minute until it’s done. The meat will take no more than 4 to 5 minutes to cook with this method. Be careful using this method, as it will be much easier to overcook the meat.
Second, you can move the seared meat to the non-infrared side of the grill and finish it off the traditional way. The meat will take a little longer to prepare, about 9-10 minutes, however it will be easier to control.

4. Remove the meat from the grill and enjoy.
Clean up of your infrared burner is a snap! The burner reaches such a high temperature that most drippings evaporate as soon as they hit the grill burner. If you marinate or use heavy sauces on your meat, we recommend turning your infrared burner up to high when you are done. This will help burn off any sauce or food particles that may not have been burned off during the cooking process.

You can also do a deeper cleaning by removing the burner. Use a needle or pin to remove any debris blocking the air holes in the ceramic tiles. When your done, take a vacuum over the burner to remove any left over food particles and debris.

We hope that the above information has offered some insight to how an infrared burner can improve the flexibility of your Fire Magic Grill. If you have any questions, please let us know. Also, don’t forget to check out all of your infrared burner options! here.

The BOB Revolution and the Ironman are both great jogging options, but how do you pick the right one for you? Both have 16 inch rear tires offering less resistance than smaller tires, making for an easier push. The larger wheel diameter also makes both joggers a comfortable option for taller users, allowing greater distance between the stroller and your stride, to limit kicking the axle. Both offer an easy, two-step folding, lightweight frame for convenient transport and storage. The car seat adapter allows you to click and go with your Chicco, Graco, or Peg Perego car seats.So what is the difference between the two? The first thing you need to ask yourself is what are you looking to do?

The unique mounting system for the lockable front wheel allows you to fix the front wheel, allowing for greater tracking while jogging, but also allows for the wheel to “revolve” making the SE a great stroller for downtown and light terrain as well.

The Revolution SE is perfect for any sport experience. From the zoo to the beach, zip through congested areas and around tight corners with ease. The state-of-the-art suspension ensures baby will have a smooth ride on the journey no matter how rough the terrain. Also available in a Duallie two-seat model.
