The Forge & Flame Story

Half a century ago, Americans confronted an energy crisis, prompting homeowners to seek alternative heating methods to ensure their families' warmth. Founded on the principle that every household deserves a dependable heat source, Harman, Vermont Castings and Quadra-Fire emerged. After decades of bringing a warming glow to countless homes across the globe, these coveted brands became some of the most trusted names in the hearth industry — and for a good reason.

Now, allied under the banner Forge & Flame these iconic brands come together stronger than ever. United by a shared belief in the importance of American craftsmanship and an unwavering commitment to quality, Forge & Flame's mission goes beyond providing essential warmth; it extends to fostering a genuine passion for fire and nurturing a sense of community.

Boasting this portfolio of brands with storied histories, Forge and Flame considers its shared heritage its compass to forge new paths. We look forward to continuing the leadership and innovation that has built a legacy of trust among these three brands as we focus our efforts on the customer experience.

Let's celebrate the love of fire together. Our stoves bring people warmth, comfort and peace of mind. Wherever there is the warmth and the burning glow from a heating stove, chances are it's a Forge & Flame.

Harman

Over four decades ago, Dane Harman made a wood stove for his own home out of necessity. Word spread and soon he was building stoves for his friends and neighbors. He quickly outgrew his garage and both he and his wife, Gloria, quit their jobs to start Harman Stove & Welding. With an innate eye for design, a deep understanding of heat exchangers and expert welding skills, Dane continued to design wood, coal, pellet and gas stoves. Coining the tagline "Built to a Standard, Not a Price" in 1980, Harman became a manufacturer of attainable luxury stoves. Now dedicated exclusively to pellet heating products, Harman remains true to the promise of uncompromising quality and exclusive features worthy of the investment.
