OUR STORY.

Sitting with your family, warm and snug beside a dancing fire, isn't that how you'd like to spend your winter evenings? At Blaze King Industries, we've shared that vision since 1977. And from the very beginning, we've focused on one simple idea: design super efficient, eco-friendly hearth products, and build them to last. Our growing selection of wood and gas burning freestanding stoves, and inserts are a tribute to good old-fashioned values like quality and safety.

When it comes to wood stove efficiency that means two things. One is that the stove generates minimal pollutants and conforms to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards. Blaze King wood stoves far exceed EPA requirements. For a wood stove to be truly efficient, it must also burn less fuel and heat for longer. Our wood stoves provide extremely long burn times and phenomenal heat production. Overall, Blaze King stoves burn up to a third less wood than our competitors stoves and with no heat loss. That means you spend less time, money, and effort chopping, hauling, stacking, moving, and loading wood for your stove. It also means less ash.

As the Clean Air Act continues to evolve, we at Blaze King Industries have committed ourselves to leading the industry in developing pollution-reducing hearth products. In 1984, Oregon's Department of Environmental Quality awarded their very first Wood Stove Certification to Blaze King. By 1992, our catalytic wood stoves led the industry for efficiency and burn times. In 1992, we expanded our line of hearth products to include gas stoves and fireplace inserts.

The year 2007 was a big one for Blaze King Industries. We celebrated our 30th anniversary and introduced our latest model, the Torino 1605 Gas Stove. Continuing our tradition of excellence, the Torino operates at up to 82% efficiency and keeps working even if the power goes out.

Gas or wood, we back all of our hearth products with the most comprehensive warranty in the business. We match that warranty with friendly service and knowledgeable expertise. But we've also never stopped making quality heating products that are efficient, environmentally friendly, and long lasting. That's Blaze King. And that's who we are.

Nothing says Quality like a Blaze King!

Features

Catalytic Technology: Blaze King has been making large wood stoves for over 35 years. Over this time period we have built a tradition of craftsmanship and performance that is unequaled. In 1983, Blaze King invented the first hybrid wood stove using air tubes and a catalytic converter. A year later Blaze King received the first certificate of compliance, number 001, for the first clean burning wood stove in North America. We received this certificate from the Oregon Department of Environmental Air Quality which was a forerunner to today’s regulatory body, the EPA. A refined version of this technology is what you see in every catalytic Blaze King today

Thermostat control (No electricity required): Blaze King’s built-in thermostat constantly monitors the heat output of your stove. It automatically adjusts the air required for combustion. This unique technology, where we combine the efficiencies of a catalytic combustor with a built-in thermostat, provides the longest burn times of any wood stove. You get a full night’s sleep without having to reload your stove. It also means that when you return from work, your stove is still hot and your home is warm.

70% turn down: Fine-tuned automatic airflow, as our thermostat and catalyst work in tandem, allows you to turn down your Blaze King catalytic stove by up to 70%. Non Blaze King stoves only turn down by 33% and have little control over their heat output. Because of this most people use expensive electric heat in the spring and fall because they cannot control the heat output of their secondary air wood stove. With a 70% turn down ability a Blaze king is perfect to heat your home in the shoulder season saving you money on heating costs.

Easy to Operate: Light a fire as per the instructions in your owner’s manual. After you have established a good fire and the thermometer needle is well into the active zone, simply select your heat setting. Your Blaze King will now automatically control the heat from your stove until you need to load it again, which could be up to 40 hours later depending on the model you selected.

Burn 33% less wood: The combination of our exclusive thermostat and catalytic combustor technology makes your Blaze King stove one of the most efficient wood stoves in the world. The proof of this is in our flue temperatures. Non Blaze King stoves have flue temperatures of between 600° F and 900° F while your Blaze King flue temperatures are between 150° F and 300° F. Non Blaze King stoves pump valuable heat up the flue. Your Blaze King catalytic stove keeps the heat in your home saving you money. By making your stove this efficient you will burn up to 33% less wood, cut, stack, load and clean 33% less wood. This is a major advantage that only a Blaze King offers.

Less Cleaning: All Blaze King stove’s produce very fine ash because we extract every last drop of energy from the wood. As a result you can go for very long periods before you have to empty your stove.

Door Design: Every Blaze King has a steel frame around the door opening. Not only does this add strength to the firebox, but it creates a tight seal as it is pressed into the door gasket. Our engineers built the door latch so it is adjustable. You can adjust the tension on the gasket thus reducing the need for expensive replacements. The latch is also more durable because it is placed on the outside of the firebox.
