About Us

I saw my first masonry heater on a solar home tour.  I was intrigued  with the heaters ability to burn cord wood safe and efficiently. 

After discovering this great heat source,  I wanted one for my own home.  Starting my search with the internet, I discovered the Masonry Heater Association of North America. I joined the Association and began making connections with some of North America best heater builders.  I traveled numerous times to participate in various workshops and gained more knowledge of masonry heaters.  Eventually I retrofitted a masonry heater in my own home.                                                          

Delving into masonry heaters business I noticed a lot of heater builders were building wood fired bake ovens.  Wood fired bake ovens share  many of the attributes of masonry heaters.  They burn a charge of wood at a high rate,  they store the heat and radiate it back to the food.  This way of cooking has been around for centuries. Communal bake ovens in Canada and Europe were a gathering place for people to bake bread.  In the last couple of years there has been a resurgence of locally grown and baked food.  

If you would like to experience a masonry heater and learn about all the benefits that these heating appliances can offer or if you would like to enjoy some wood fired pizza.  Contact us.
