Introduction
In 1973, Bob Fisher designed and built the first Fisher Stove as a replacement for his old-fashioned, inefficient fireplace. Soon, neighbors and friends were clamoring for Fisher Stoves™ for their own homes. The Fisher Stoves™ went on to sell over half a million units, heating homes not just in America, but around the world. Today, almost 40 years later, there are thousands of original Fisher Stoves™ still in use, a testament to the craftsmanship and quality of the Fisher brand.
Times have changed since the original Fisher Stoves™ were produced, and homes are more expensive to heat than ever before. However, trees remain a renewable, cost-effective, dependable source of energy. Save money and stay warm the new, re-imagined line of Fisher Stoves™.

New Smoke-Free Furnaces
Gasification Without The Work
Fisher Stoves Smoke-Free models Mama Bear & Papa Bear are still setting the standard for home heating. Designed to be almost smoke free. These Bears are environmentally friendly & almost maintenance free
How It Works
Unlike the simple combustion of other furnaces, the Fisher Stoves™ pressurizes the inner fire chambers and uses a gasification process known as ‘pyrolysis’ to break the wood down to yield charcoal, tars and wood oils and gases. Higher temperatures in the fire chamber, coupled with precision air delivery, turn the elements into clean heat. This means more heat to use with little to no smoke. That's a Fisher.
What does this mean?
- Use less wood - Have longer burn times
- The Fisher design means more heat captured
- More heat stored for future use
- The smoke is internally processed for heat
- You have little to no smoke outside the furnace
- Smoke is turned into additional heat
- Almost no ashes - They burn too!
- Clean some ash out every month (only some)
- It's a Fisher, It's the best.
Fisher Stoves™ are proudly built in the USA for tough heating jobs.
