What HPC Fire Inspired does

HPC Fire Inspired (legal entity: Hearth Products Controls Company) is a Miamisburg, Ohio-based manufacturer of outdoor gas fire pits, complete fire features, outdoor cooking equipment, and indoor gas fireplace components, founded in 1975. The company holds CSA certification on more than 400 products and ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification, and operates a 40,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Dayton, Ohio with a secondary operations and distribution site in Las Vegas, Nevada. The portfolio spans CSA-certified fire pit inserts (linear, H-burner, bowl, and trough), complete fire features in lightweight concrete, copper, and aluminum, custom fabrications, dual-fuel outdoor pizza ovens under the Forno de Pizza brand, drum smokers with patented Vortex airflow, outdoor kitchen islands via Galaxy Outdoor, and a Bluetooth and AR-enabled HPC Fire One mobile application. Proprietary technologies include electronic ignition systems, Vortex airflow, refractory oven chambers, fire-on-water features, and glass mosaic tiling.

The business operates on a B2B2C model centered on a multi-tiered certified dealer network (Standard, Gold, Platinum, Diamond tiers) staffed with NFI-certified technicians, complemented by direct e-commerce on hpcfire.com and online-only dealers including Fire Pits Direct, Woodland Direct, Starfire Direct, Flame Creation, and eFireplaceStore. Pricing is purely transactional unit pricing with no recurring revenue: fire pit inserts range from $428 to $15,161 MSRP and outdoor cooking products from $5,879 to $7,874 MSRP. Primary end customers are residential outdoor living space owners, with dealers, contractors, and custom builders serving as secondary B2B segments. The company is privately held, founder- or management-controlled, and has funded growth through three strategic acquisitions (Forno de Pizza in 2020, Galaxy Outdoor in 2023, Dekko Inc. announced March 2025) rather than external equity capital.
