Fischer Wood Stove

Fisher wood stoves are no longer manufactured in North America, and so they are not available in the states. Also, Fisher wood stove parts are not readily available, so people with older models of the Fisher wood stove still in their homes might have a hard time with maintenance if something broke.

Bob Fisher designed the Fisher wood stove in Oregon in the mid-seventies. He licensed the designs to twenty-five steel fabricating shops throughout North America. The Fisher Stove International Organization pioneered certain safety regulations that went in affect around 1980. Fisher wood stoves manufactured before this date do not meet safety regulations, and most insurance companies insist that the older model of the Fisher wood stove be replaced for safety’s sake. Most of the models of Fisher wood stoves after 1980 do meet the safety standards, so they do not necessarily need to be replaced. However, you may want to replace your Fisher wood stove anyway, because it could be very difficult to find parts for your Fisher wood stove. Also, approximately twenty years ago, new emission standards were developed. Older Fisher wood stoves do not meet these emission standards, and they can release a great deal of pollution into the air. Wood stoves that do not meet emission standards might be illegal in some jurisdictions.
