Englander - A True Family Story

It all started in 1976, when Robert England built his very first stove to heat his welding workshop. It was enough for the father and his sons, Ron and Scott, to combine their experience as welders and machinists and make it a true family story. This is how England's Stove Works (ESW) was born, literally, in their own backyard.

From the start, the family designs and manufactures wood stoves with the aim of offering a quality product at an affordable price. Commonly known as Englander, the company has built a strong brand image over the past 47 years, particularly in the United States and Canada.

Proud of this heritage, the American manufacturer, whose 100,000 square foot factory is still located not far from the England family in Monroe, VA, was acquired by SBI - a manufacturer specializing in wood-burning appliances. From 2022, the latter intends to modernize the facilities, in order to pursue growth and reaffirm the culture of operational excellence, right here in North America.

Whether you are looking for wood or pellet stoves, outdoor fireplaces or camp stoves, there is an Englander product to meet your needs.

Burn Time and Efficiency Ratings

When it comes to high-efficiency wood stoves, performance is measured in both burn time and how effectively the appliance turns wood into heat. Modern stoves, especially those meeting the latest EPA certification standards, can keep a fire going for anywhere from 10 to 14 hours per load—plenty of time to keep your space cozy through the night.

Efficient use of wood is another hallmark. These stoves typically boast average efficiency ratings between 69% and 76%, depending on the type of wood and how the stove is operated. Many achieve optimal heat transfer efficiency around 70%, meaning more of the fire’s energy goes into warming your home, not up the chimney.

So, if long-lasting warmth and lower emissions are on your checklist, today’s high-efficiency wood stoves deliver both—with certified results you can count on.

Certified to Meet Stringent Safety and Emissions Standards

All Englander stoves are built not only for warmth and reliability, but also to comply with rigorous safety and environmental standards across North America.

• In Canada, these stoves meet the CSA B415.1-10 emissions standard, as well as ULC-S 627-00 for safety—ensuring both clean burning and peace of mind.
• In the United States, emissions are certified to ASTM E3053-17 and EPA Alternative Method 125, while safety is verified under UL 1492-2011.

Each certification means you can choose an Englander product with confidence, knowing it has been tested and approved under some of the most respected third-party standards in the industry.

To ensure these high standards, our stoves carry several key certifications:

Thoughtful Convenience Features

Englander wood stoves are designed with user comfort and safety top of mind. Many models come equipped with a rear heat shield, helping to protect your walls and reduce clearance requirements. An integrated ash pan is another practical touch—making cleanup after a cozy night by the fire refreshingly easy.

These small, well-considered features are part of what makes Englander stoves a reliable, family-friendly choice for keeping your home warm.
