Home Fire Stove & Grill City / Salem, OR / Portland, OR

Home Fire Stove Shoppe was started by Ron Post in 1979. After just months, he sold the business to Ralph Stanley and went on to found Northwest Medical Teams. Tim Nissen started Willamette Woodstoves in the summer of 1983, purchased Home Fire Stove Shoppe from Ralph Stanley in the summer of 1987, and merged the two businesses together under the name Home Fire Stove, the DBA for Willamette Woodstoves, Inc.

Along with the local economy the company has had it's ups and downs over the years, peaking in 1999 due to concerns about Y2K, and again in 2006 as new construction peaked. We survived the Great Recession and recent years have been more prosperous.

The company had a number of small storefronts in both north and south Salem until 1988 when we found our current building at the corner of Market and 17th, NE. This has been a great location and we are always remodeling as our products continuously evolve.

We have over eighty stoves, inserts and fireplaces on display, including thirty burn models. We have tried to make all of our displays examples of what we can do in-house by way of complete installations.

A part of our showroom evolves with the seasons. In the fall and winter the emphasis is on hearth. In the spring and summer we put more grill options on display.

All of our products need regular maintenance and service to perform at their best over time. This is particularly true of gas and pellet fueled appliances. We have a full service department with three trained technicians, and we have in stock or available any parts you are likely to need.

Our primary business is hearth products, with a secondary emphasis on grills. Our products can be segmented based on appliance type, fuel burned, size, style, and price-point. We also see our retail business as being differentiated from our new home business.

We sell, install and service wood, pellet, gas & electric stoves, inserts and fireplaces. This will often include chimney systems, hearths, surrounds, mantels, operating accessories and maintenance items. Styles range from very traditional to ultra contemporary.

Much of what we sell is designed to provide cost effective heat. We also sell fireplace furnishings, glass doors, screens, decorative gas logs, and related, for open hearth decorative type fireplaces.

Our grills include natural gas, propane, charcoal and pellet fueled models, both carts and built-ins.
