Company History

Condar is a respected leader in the hearth industry, founded 25 years ago to develop the first practical high-temperature thermometer for woodstoves. The effort was successful. Condar's innovative design for a thermometer that can be mounted on the hot surface of a stovepipe--while still recording accurate temperatures--was awarded a United States Patent.

Today, Condar is the leading manufacturer of thermometers for woodstoves, offering a variety of designs suitable for any woodstove installation, and used by millions of homeowners around the world. Products are known for high quality, durability, and accuracy.

Later, Condar participated in the industry's research & development effort to control air pollution from woodstoves. Following adoption 10 years ago of national standards by the Environmental Protection Agency, Condar has been the leading fabricator of catalytic combustors to virtually eliminate particulate emissions. Today, we offer after-market replacement combustors for all brands on the market. Even for woodstoves that are no longer made, Condar can manufacture the right replacement combustor--and you can order them direct from Condar, if you wish, right on this Web site.

Condar markets other quality products, too. The best wood slings and WeatherProof Totebaskets you can buy. The innovative battery-powered Power Bellows. The unique patented HalfKettle specifically designed to fit on the narrow ledges of insert woodstoves. Replacement Screens for your fireplace, in all sizes to fit everybody's need perfectly. The Condar Millistat millivolt thermostat specially made for millivolt gas hearth appliances. Smoke-testing products used by professional chimney sweeps, hearth dealers, and other people who need to test for drafts and proper air-movement inside homes...

...and an exciting product that you'll definitely want to take a few minutes to learn more about--the ASV-90 Air Supply Ventilator. Most American homes today need at least one--to provide fresh air in your home, without drafts or heat loss.
