Meet Dusty, owner of Flame Innovation

Dusty Henderson owner of Flame Innovation, (formerly 509 Stoves) saw an opportunity to transform how America heats homes, cabins, and even tiny houses! The stove’s original inventor, Frank Reed, teamed up with Dusty and his father to scale manufacturing. The stove’s unique, patented design self-feeds and vaporizes the manufactured wood logs for a clean burn. The entire system is chimney-less which exhausts with a vent and fan, controlling the burn cycle. The Optimum is the #1 rated, fuel efficient, non-catalytic stove produced today, making it the greenest heat available. By using biofuel, you’ll save money, gain efficiency, and support the environment!

Our hand-crafted process ensures that attention to detail is taken with every build. Each stove is hand-welded in Post Falls, Idaho and uses parts sourced in the USA whenever possible. You’ll find no assembly lines or robots here, just purely skilled craftsmen creating your future stove!

Dusty Henderson ACCOLADES

Our stoves have earned the following accolades:

  • The greenest heat available today.

Alliance For Green Heat Article

The stove is so novel that the EPA can’t figure out whether to call it a wood stove or a pellet stove. That’s because it’s neither—or both—depending on how you look at it.

The stove burns logs that are pressed out of sawdust. The logs are automatically fed by a gravity system one after the other. There is no auger, which all pellet stoves have, but the stove achieves consistently high efficiency and low emissions that no wood stove can get. It’s the first one of its kind on the market, and the EPA and the entire stove industry doesn’t quite know what to call it yet.
