Custom Masonry Heaters

Our custom-built masonry heaters burn wood at 80–90% efficiency and radiate warmth for 12–24 hours after a single fire. Every heater is designed and built on-site to fit your home, your heating needs, and your style. We build Finnish Contraflow, Russian double-bell, Swedish 5 Run, and hybrid designs with optional bake ovens and heated benches.

A masonry heater burns wood in a unique, efficient, and beautiful way. You load the firebox with a charge of wood that is designed large enough to heat your area of up to 2,000 sqft. You burn the fire hot and fast so that you get complete, clean combustion with very low emissions. As the fire burns, the gases move through the heat-exchange channels inside the high-temperature refractory core of the heater. The warmth is absorbed by the masonry mass and radiates throughout the home long after the fire has stopped burning. Often, for as long as 24 hours. With the residual heat from the fire, you can cook meals and heat your domestic water. The fire is finished in about 3 hours so you can come home from work at 6 pm and close the damper by 9 or 10 pm before you go to bed and have a warm home for the next 12-24 hours from one fire

Masonry heaters are the premium radiant heating system with a comfort level that simply cannot be equaled by convection or forced air. Masonry heaters have more than a 400-year time-tested history in Northern Europe, where they were used as the main source of heat in places such as Russia, the Baltics, and the Scandinavian countries.

We custom build all styles of masonry heaters including:
