About Kuma
Kuma Stoves is an American manufacturer of wood stoves and oil stoves headquartered in Rathdrum, Idaho. Founded in 1981 by Mark Freeman, who built the first Kuma Stove on the tailgate of his Chevrolet pickup truck, the company remains a family operation dedicated to American manufacturing. For over 40 years, Kuma has been producing wood stoves since 1981 and oil stoves since 1999, with every product manufactured in their Idaho facility.
Kuma manufactures a range of wood-burning stoves designed for residential heating applications. The company's products are engineered for efficiency and performance, meeting strict environmental and safety standards. Kuma stoves have earned certification as qualifying biomass heating equipment, enabling homeowners to benefit from federal tax incentives.
Qualifying Kuma wood stoves may be eligible for a 30% federal tax credit under the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (25C), capped at $2,000 annually. To qualify, biomass stoves must achieve a minimum thermal efficiency of 75% per the higher heating value (HHV) of the fuel.
