Our masonry heater is truly the heart of our home. It is one of the first things you see upon entering the house and its lure is strong. For years we kept a traditional wood stove stoked and running all day and night, often with less than satisfactory results. Now, we have one fire a day and our home is warm. We lean against the heater and cozy up around the fire; we cook in the white oven and taste the difference. For most of my life I lived unaware of the wonder that is a masonry heater. Now I hope to never live without one.

Jason Temple of Temple Fire built a beautiful Austrian design masonry heater for us in the summer of 2012. The past 2 winters up to now, we have enjoyed having our heater as the centerpiece and heart of our home. Along with being a clean-burning, efficient source of heat, the structure we co-designed with Jason includes a cooking oven, heated bench, and decorative cob tree. We find that it's always the center of much enjoyment by our guests throughout the 3 seasons she runs. The quality of the heat is unsurpassed in my experience - the house does not dry out as with normal wood stoves, the air feels clean, the heat well distributed throughout the space. We have a true hearth for our home.
Jason was as professional and pleasant to work with as I could ever hope for. He worked well and thoroughly with us during the design phase, and meticulously during the building. His passion for his work is inspiring and well-founded. His availability to us over the years to answer questions and ensure everything is working optimally is a priceless comfort to our investment.
I can't recommend Jason and Temple Fire highly enough. You will not regret the choice to work with him.

Jason’s work is solid, functional, and beautiful and he’s a great guy to work with. I liked the massive Russian style furnace he built so much that I had him build a smaller unit for a rental cabin. Both are highly functional, efficient, and toasty warm!!!

I loved working with Jason Temple! He is hardworking, dependable and kind. Jason designed a heater that fit beautifully into my very small studio. He worked around existing windows and overcame framing challenges elegantly. Jason’s background as a natural builder allowed him to confidently advise me about selecting materials and moving ahead with other aspects of the project beyond the stove.The TempleFire heater has transformed my studio into a more functional and aesthetic space. Everyone loves the stove!

Jason made the experience personal for me. He and his team were courteous of my home and very informative of the process. I received an amazing heater and Jason has been diligent in following up with support.

I spoke with Jason Temple 1 year prior to building my home. He consulted with me on placement and preparation of building a masonry heater. I ordered a soapstone masonry kit from a company back east. After getting my kit, I decided it would be best to hire someone with experience to help me install it. After a lot of phone calls, emails and talking with Jason, I decided he was the best choice for my build. I sent him the plans. Jason explained some short comings in my kit and suggested we make some modifications. The next spring, Jason came over and we started the build. I have worked with a lot of people in the building industry, some are installers (just there to get the job done) and some a artists at what they do. Jason is an artist, he knew and was able to explain to me in simple detail all the inter-workings of the masonry heater and why we were making modifications to the kit I purchased. Jason was very conscience and detailed from layout to clean up. I can't tell you how happy I am with the added warming bench and j channel. As I write this, my daughter is reading a book on the bench as it has become her favorite spot to sit in the living room. The house stays 68-72 degrees with two fires a day with outside temps in the teens. I know when building, there are budget concerns. You will save tremendously on the amount of wood you burn. If you need to, It would be my recommendation to trim the budget somewhere on something that can be updated at a later date. Call Jason and have him build a masonry heater. You will love how it heats your home and you will really enjoy working with Jason.
