Our History
Dudley 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 Roland Koster. Dudley knew about metal and Roland 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. Within 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 concentrated 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 product line of both wood and gas fireplaces.
Heather Hussong Reasoner, daughter of Jim’s, started full time in 2014 respectively. Kozy Heat is a 3-generational family owned and operated company.
Throughout the expansion of the company and changes in products, the commitment to quality and efficiency remained constant. Kozy Heat is proud to offer a product based on quality versus quantity.
