About American Hearth Supply
A small dealer, on purpose.
Micah Rodriguez
Owner · the person who answers (814) 440-4817
I run American Hearth Supply from Albion, Pennsylvania. When you call or text, you get me — not a queue, not a script. I check your dimensions, place the order with the manufacturer, book your freight and handle the warranty paperwork if you ever need it.
If the honest answer to your question is "buy the smaller one," that's the answer you'll get.
How this business actually works
We're an authorized dealer, not a warehouse. Every unit ships factory-new from the manufacturer's own distribution network — that's why freight is free and why the product is never a repackaged return. We don't have a showroom, and we don't install. What we do is the part that goes wrong when you buy a $3,000 appliance from a marketplace: making sure it's the right size, the right fuel, the right configuration, delivered on a scheduled liftgate truck, with someone accountable if anything's off.
Where we started, and what we carry now
American Hearth Supply began as a WPPO wood-fired pizza oven specialist. The same customers building a backyard kitchen kept asking about the fireplace, the patio heater and the grill — so the catalog grew, one authorized dealer agreement at a time:
- Fireplaces — Monessen vent-free gas, Napoleon direct-vent gas and electric, SimpliFire and Modern Flames electric, with Fireside Furnishings mantels to finish the wall.
- Outdoor fireplaces — Outdoor Lifestyles complete gas systems.
- Wood-fired pizza ovens — the full WPPO range, from the portable Le Peppe to the Karma series and Tuscany built-in kits.
- Grills & outdoor kitchens — Bull Outdoor Products built-in grills, griddles and complete islands.
- Patio heaters — Bromic Platinum, Tungsten and Eclipse, gas and electric.

Questions people ask before spending this much
Straight answers, before you order
About the company
I've never heard of American Hearth Supply. Who are you?
A small, owner-run authorized dealer — American Hearth Supply LLC, Albion, Pennsylvania (just outside Erie). We started as a WPPO wood-fired oven specialist and now carry fireplaces, patio heaters, grills and outdoor kitchens from the manufacturers we're authorized for. When you call (814) 440-4817 you reach the owner, not a call center.
Why shouldn't I just buy directly from the manufacturer?
Most of these manufacturers don't sell to homeowners — they sell through authorized dealers, and the warranty is honored through the dealer you bought from. Buying here gets you the same factory-new unit at the manufacturer's published pricing, plus a person who checks the fit, books the freight and handles the warranty paperwork with the factory.
Is this legitimate? How do I know the product is genuine?
We're an authorized dealer for every brand on the site, and every unit ships factory-new from the manufacturer's distribution network — never gray-market, never returned stock. You can verify the phone number above, our Pennsylvania LLC, and the manufacturer documents linked on each product page. Checkout is Shopify's own, so your payment details never touch our servers.
Why don't I see hundreds of reviews?
Because we're new and we won't fake them. Reviews on this site are collected through Judge.me from real orders only, and a product shows a rating only when real customers have left one. Until then, test us the way that matters: call with a hard question and see what kind of answer you get.
Will someone actually help me after I've paid?
Yes — the same person. Delivery scheduling, a question for your installer, a warranty registration or claim: all of it goes through (814) 440-4817 or our email, Mon–Fri 9 AM–8 PM ET. We answer texts outside those hours when we can.
Shipping & delivery
Is freight really free? Any liftgate or fuel fees?
Free to the 48 contiguous states, liftgate included, no surcharges at checkout. Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories and international are quote-only — call before ordering.
How long until it arrives?
In-stock items typically leave the warehouse within 2–4 business days. Parcel items (accessories, some mantels and electric units) then take about 5–10 business days by UPS/FedEx; freight items usually arrive within 1–2 weeks of shipping depending on your location. Each product page shows the ships-in window; items with a longer manufacturer lead time say so on the page.
Will the freight carrier call me? What if I'm not home?
Yes — freight is delivered by appointment. The carrier calls the number on your order to book a window. Delivery is curbside on a liftgate; the driver is not required to bring it inside, so plan to have a hand available.
What happens if it arrives damaged?
Every order ships insured. Look the crate over before you sign, write any damage on the delivery receipt (even "box damaged"), take a couple of photos, and call or text us. We file the claim with the carrier and coordinate replacement parts or a replacement unit with the manufacturer. For concealed damage found after unboxing, contact us within 5 business days of delivery.
Do you deliver to Alaska, Hawaii or Canada?
By quote only. Call (814) 440-4817 with the product and address and we'll get a real freight cost before you commit.
Building your space? Not sure where to start?
Tell us what you're building. We'll recommend the right setup before you spend a dollar.
Not sure which size, fuel type or configuration is right? Send us your space, rough measurements and what you're trying to create. You get a straight recommendation and a written quote within one business day.
No pressure. No sales pitch. If the honest answer is the smaller model — or a different one — that's the answer you'll get.
