Yes! Wood Stone specialty cooking equipment and stone hearth ovens are made in the USA. Since 1990, we’ve been building our equipment in Bellingham, Washington. Our Founders, Keith Carpenter and Harry Hegarty, both lived in and loved Whatcom County and started this 21-year-old endeavor with a few close friends. These friends built stone hearth ovens unlike any others on the planet; Unlike the traditional imported ovens, they use modern materials formulated specifically for the application of stone hearth cooking. This refractory is cast in molds to make very strong monolithic floors and monolithic domes. The result is hand-crafted ovens that are more reliable and predictable than ovens made with clay tiles or bricks (or “cotto refrattario”).

As Wood Stone grew so did its reputation for quality equipment and customer service. In 2006-2007, Wood Stone invested $10 million at our facility in Bellingham in an expansion of our factory and in new robotic fabrication equipment to insure that we could stay competitive with foreign imports and keep our jobs at home. This also allowed us to expand our product line to better serve the foodservice industry and create more opportunities in our community. We continue to strive to build the best stone hearth and specialty cooking equipment in the world, provide the best customer service and create the best work/play environment for our employees. This is our formula for success. We are very proud to provide meaningful employment for people in our community and look forward to the fun and challenges of continued growth.
