Hello everyone I am currently making tempwood stoves... we did go out of business but are slowly returning im starting the ul process and ive been burning the tempwood onsite for testing i am making firebricks for purchase please call with questions or feedback thankd Joe 413-743-0022

Any info you could give me on getting started again please feel free to help any info will be great .

It will be a downdraft and I am currently going thru ul listings and looking into epa testing

My cousin used one of those back in the seventies. Good concept but plain looking. Probably not meant for looks anyway.

joe, anything going on now? I would love to see one of these stoves in my current house

We are in full production please call for details 413-743-0022 .
Thank You Joe White

Hi Joe: We became aware of this great news a couple of weeks ago! You announced it on my birthday, and what a great birthday present. We currently have two and run one...the big boy. Any chance of a top-loading glass front?? You takin' orders? Need any distributors?? We're your best advertisements! No other technology makes sense to us. Good luck with the UL!

If you are really making these stoves and are interested in folks learning about them, you should keep us in the mix. What have they been tested at? Got a photo? Website, specs?

Not sure much to hawk your wares here, because thats what advertising is for..

But there are a bunch of us who remember the Tempwoods from 20 years ago and would love to be in the loop during their reinvention.

Joe, if you don't have a website yet and are interested, let me know. I like to work with small companies and I do inexpensive websites for them as well as family and friends.

I'd love to see some pics. Also, downdraft? Does that mean this is a gasifier?

www.tempwoodstoves.com is the site, and there is a diagram / photo there. It's definitely a working man's stove, a stove for the pragmatist.
They're are now on sale, pricing is around $1250 or so, I believe.
Full disclosure: I am biased; my dad used to manufacture them in the late '70s.

I had a Tempwood in the '70s and '80s and loved it. But it was an early one and had no firebrick in it. The metal in the bottom of the stove started to get a little thin from years of burning. For safety's sake I replaced it with a Vermont Castings non-catalytic "Defiant". Give me the Tempwood any day of the week!! I think it heats better, holds a fire longer, and is way safer. The Defiant often makes these scarey noises like I'm having a chimney fire, and it sometimes puffs, and blows smoke back into the house. The Tempwood is a great stove, and I may just sell the Defiant now that I can buy a new Tempwood. By the way, I love the look of it.

My cousin had one of the early ones in the 70's. Great heater. Needs to have a glass viewing front to make it more appealing. Maybe that's next for the company.

I used to sell Tempwoods a long time ago. I remember them being a great stove and very utilitarian, which was what most people were looking for back then. Good news you're starting back up. Hopefully will be EPA approved.
