Stove, fireplace, and barbeque manufacturing Kuma Stoves Has been manufacturing quality Wood Stoves since 1981 and Oil stoves since 1999. Our company supplies products to distributors and dealers across the U.S. Kuma Stoves is proud to say that every product we manufacture is made in the USA, with our Oil stoves being one of very few if not the only natural draft Oil Stoves made in the USA. Kuma Stoves was founded in 1981 when Mark Freeman, now president of the company, built the first Kuma Stove on the tailgate of his chevrolet pick up truck. To this day, Kuma Stoves continues to be primarily a family operation.
