Wood Stoves and Warm Homes in Meagher County

Meagher County is about as far out as our service area goes — and we're glad to cover it. White Sulphur Springs, the county seat and only real town, sits roughly 95 miles northeast of our Helena office via US-12 and US-89. The drive takes you over Kings Hill Pass in the Little Belt Mountains, through some of the most beautiful and isolated country in central Montana. With fewer than 1,000 people in town and a county population under 2,000, this is a place where you can go a long way without seeing another vehicle.

That remoteness is exactly why we serve Meagher County. The options for hearth dealers out here are limited — most companies won't drive this far for a single install or service call. We will. The winters in the Smith River valley are brutal and long, with temperatures regularly dipping well below zero from December through February. At around 5,000 feet of elevation, White Sulphur Springs catches the full force of Arctic fronts sweeping down from Canada. Wood stoves and pellet stoves aren't luxury items in Meagher County — they're how families stay warm when the wind chill drops to minus 30 and the nearest city with a big-box store is two hours away.

The Smith River corridor is famous among float-trippers and fly anglers, and the Castle Mountains to the east offer some of Montana's most dramatic backcountry scenery. A handful of ranches and rural homesteads are scattered along the creek drainages leading out of those mountains — properties that rely on wood heat because natural gas lines don't run out there and propane delivery can be unreliable in deep winter. We install catalytic and non-catalytic wood stoves built for heavy, sustained use, and we size them to handle the wide-open floor plans common in ranch homes.
