We’ve spent the last 15 years improving, refining, and manufacturing our heaters right here in the USA. Why? Because we knew that if we believed in the product enough—if we stuck to the vision—there would come a day when people would not only want it, they’d need it. That’s how Timber Stoves was born: out of necessity, determination, and a relentless belief that comfort shouldn’t come with a cord or compromise.
This isn’t about off-grid survival (though our products are great for that too). It’s about helping everyday families rediscover comfort and freedom right in their own backyards. Whether you’ve got a lakefront dock, a garden patio, or a cozy front porch, heat matters—and so does how you get it.
Real Heat, Real Light
Let’s face it: most patio heaters are more about show than substance. Propane towers might give you a quick blast of warmth if you’re standing right under them, but they’re also infamous for being top-heavy, short-lived, and honestly kind of useless once the breeze kicks in.
Worse? We don’t need more 40-year-olds walking around with bald spots because those cheap propane heaters are only good for hair removal.
Timber Stoves offer something better: a roaring flame that radiates in all directions, wrapping you and your guests in natural, consistent heat. And here’s something most people don’t realize until they experience it: the light from the fire is every bit as important as the heat. It sets the tone, creates a welcoming space, and extends your outdoor time deep into the night.
No Electricity Means No Hassle
One of the most common questions we get is, “Where’s the cord?” or “Where’s the battery?” The answer: there isn’t one. These stoves are gravity-fed and engineered to burn efficiently and cleanly—so clean, in fact, that you’ll rarely see smoke at all. Just heat waves dancing in the air, which is why we call our newsletter Heat Waves.
The standard hopper gives you a solid burn time. That’s hours of hands-free heat from a product that doesn’t depend on anything but pellets and design.
Fuel You Can Count On
Propane is unpredictable. Prices change, tanks run out, and you’re always making last minute trips to refill. Wood pellets, on the other hand, are:
- Affordable (around $1/hour burn time)
- Easy to store
- Renewable
- Made in America
That means less stress for you, and more residual fuel sales for our retail partners—making it a win for everyone.
Built to Last—And Built by Hand
Every Timber Stove is built from heavy-duty stainless steel, not stamped-out parts from overseas. These aren’t gimmicks or gadgets. They’re tools made to serve a purpose—to last for years and to deliver warmth in a way that makes people want to gather around.
As a small business, we’ve worn every hat—from manufacturing to marketing to raising our kids between shifts in the shop. We understand our customers because we are our customers. That’s why every product we ship is built with real life in mind, not just product specs on a sheet.
Heat Where You Want It
Because they’re freestanding and require no electricity, Timber Stoves give you something most outdoor products can’t: flexibility. Take it to your dock. Move it to the garden. Use it as a place to gather, reflect, or host the night’s best conversation.
This Isn’t Just About Off-Grid Living
Yes, it works when the power goes out. Yes, it’s perfect for cabins and mountain retreats. But this is really about reclaiming your patio. It’s about stepping into your yard on a cool evening and not rushing back inside. It’s about investing in your comfort, your backyard lifestyle, and your family time.
Timber Stoves isn’t just a product—it’s a mindset. No cords. No noise. Just fire, heat, and a better way to live outside.
