Avalon Olympic

[bartlett920]

My buddy was is looking at wood stoves and we found a website that sold Avalon Olympics woodheatstoves.com so called them on the phone about the stove and they said Avalon would not sell or ship to people outside of northern California because they are loyal to there territory.... is this bs?

Nope, Travis Industries (Manufacturer of Avalon, Lopi and Fireplace Extraordinaire) absolutely forbids any dealer from selling outside his or her territory, and will shut down anyone caught doing so. Use the dealer finder on Avalon's website at (broken link removed) to find the Avalon store nearest you.

I think your buddy is confusing that particular dealer with the company as a whole. Dealers may have exclusive territories the are not allowed to sell stoves outside of. I just picked up a used Olympic based on the many, many good reviews. It's a big stove, and I can't wait to give mine a workout this fall.

We have the Olympic's sister, the Lopi Liberty. Purchased from and installed by a local dealer. Couldn't be happier with it. Rick
