In the heart of Salem, a story of warmth and commitment began in 1979. Home Fire Stove opened its doors during a time when the world was grappling with skyrocketing energy costs. Our answer? To offer a beacon of comfort and reliability to our community. In 1981, Tim Nissen purchased the business and steered it to new heights, even amid economic challenges. His vision and dedication laid the foundation for what Home Fire Stove would become.
Jeff, our current owner, joined Tim in this journey and worked alongside him for 22 years, absorbing invaluable knowledge and contributing to the company's growth. In 2016, Jeff took the helm from Tim, who continues to serve as a trusted mentor. Under Jeff's leadership, Home Fire Stove has flourished, solidifying its reputation as the premier fireplace and stove store in Oregon. Our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction remains unwavering, and we are proud to continue serving our community with the same passion and excellence that started it all.
Driven by two core priorities—your safety and satisfaction—we view your safety as a moral duty, not just part of our job. We prioritize your safety over mere satisfaction, guiding our selection of high-quality wood, pellet, and gas stoves, inserts, and fireplaces. We also provide complete installation and service. Our commitment to quality and fairness has built a legacy of trust and repeat business with you, our valued customer.
For years, we've demystified the process of choosing the right fireplace, making it easy for families to embrace the warmth. With a century's worth of combined experience, our team brings expertise and passion to every interaction—never motivated by commissions but by the desire to find the perfect fit for your home. Safety, our paramount concern, is ingrained in every step, ensuring all products meet rigorous standards and installations comply with precise specifications.
Beyond safety, we know that the right size matters in delivering the comfort you expect. Our deep experience ensures that the stove or fireplace you choose fits your space perfectly, avoiding any disappointment or discomfort. And with an array of styles, features, and options, we’re committed to providing you with choices that meet your needs and exceed your expectations.
Owned and operated by Salem's own Jeff Reynolds, Home Fire Stove is more than a business—it's a passion. Since joining the team in 1995, Jeff’s journey from an eager employee to the proud owner in 2016 reflects his dedication to this community and this company. With expansions into grills, outdoor firepits, and kitchens, Jeff’s vision continues to bring warmth and joy to countless homes.
Jeff’s commitment extends beyond the store; his active involvement in local schools, charities, and community organizations mirrors the heart of Home Fire Stove. Yet, at the core of his world are his family and the shared moments of joy and adventure, from archery to ocean sport fishing.
