Kozy Heat Fireplaces
We are a privately held, family owned business. Our customers, suppliers and employees like to work for us because of our small-town work ethics and our sincere friendly attitude. We will continue to uphold our fireplaces' reputation of quality and value and we are proud to put our family name "Hussong Manufacturing" on every product we sell.
Dudly Hussong, Chairman of the Board, established "Kozy Heat" during 1976 in his father's millwork shop in southern Minnesota. The first Kozy Heat was a wood burning fireplace that was created as a more efficient way to heat the shop during the fuel embargo. He then teamed up with a local mason named Ronald Koster. Dudley knew about metal and Ronald knew about brick. Together they knew what it took to build a fireplace. The word spread around town and a local contractor later persuaded Hussong to build another, and then another for local homes. Kozy Heat soon became known as a high-quality, energy-efficient, home-heating supplement. With-in two years Kozy Heat was selling fireplaces throughout Minnesota via distribution channels.
Jim Hussong, President, joined his father full-time in 1984. The two became a team - Jim concentrating on expanding the sales and marketing division, whereas Dudley remained researching and developing new products.  Together they have created distribution and representation nationwide with a full line of both wood and gas fireplaces.
Throughout the expansion of the company and changes in the products, the commitment to quality and efficiency remained constant. Kozy Heat is proud to offer a product based on quality versus quantity.
