Tom and his crew are the best in the business. We bought our first stove from W&S in 1992 and knew right where to go when in need of a replacement. Their technical knowledge and incredibly friendly service span the thirty-four years that we have done business with them. What a local gem!

I purchased my entire wood burning stove set up from these guys 15 years ago. They gave me helpful tips on installation and on usage, and the stove has performed flawlessly since late 2010. These guys will set you up with what you need and will help you along the way. I highly recommend them!

We purchased a Callaway KozyHeat 50 inch see through gas fireplace through Woodstove & Sun and couldn't be happier with the service they provided. From the sales staff (Miranda, Julie, Alex) to the install team (Sam & his crew) to the follow-up service support (Tom), the whole team was excellent. They even helped us source custom mantels that we love. Woodstove & Sun is a case study in the value added by buying from a trusted local vendor. Highly recommend!
