As Pivot Stove approaches 150 years in 2026, we return to our roots with the soon to release of the 1876 Wood Stove, a tribute our roots of being Australia’s first manufacturer of wood stoves and a bold step forward in design.
Its Greg’s vision – his passion – and with his 39 years spent servicing, designing, fixing, and refining wood stoves, listening closely to customers and understanding their real frustrations, the 1876 is the realisation of a lifelong vision—my vision—built from decades of hands-on experience and shaped by what people actually need.
1876 will be the first wood stove of its kind, allowing you to build it to your specifications, with options including legs or a storage stand, integrated wood storage, tinted glass, splashbacks, and other functional features.
This is a stove designed to be lived with, admired, and relied upon, marking the return of the original Pivot Stove to wood stoves and the first of several new releases to come.
Pivot Stove has always been part of Australia’s wood-heating story. Founded in 1876 and becoming Australia’s first manufacturer of wood stoves in 1987, Pivot Stove has built a reputation on durability, practicality, and deep respect for how Australians actually live with fire. As we approach 150 years in 2026, we return to our roots with a stove that represents everything Pivot stands for—heritage, innovation, and honest warmth. To mark this milestone, we proudly introduce our 150th Anniversary Wood Stove: the 1876.
The 1876 is deeply personal. After 39 years spent servicing, designing, repairing, and refining wood stoves, listening to customers in their homes and workshops, this stove represents a lifelong vision brought to life. Every frustration, every compromise people have been forced to accept, and every feature they wished existed has informed its design. The 1876 isn’t based on trends or guesswork—it’s built on decades of real-world experience, shaped by what people actually need from a wood stove, day in and day out.
For the first time in Australia, the 1876 Wood Stove is built to your specifications. Choose from legs or a storage stand, add integrated wood storage, select optional tinted glass, splashbacks, and other functional enhancements. This modular approach means the stove adapts to your home—not the other way around. It’s a wood stove designed to be lived with, admired, and relied upon, combining timeless aesthetics with modern flexibility and performance.
The 1876 is just the beginning. It marks the return of the original Pivot Stove to wood stoves, with a new generation of products already in development. As we celebrate 150 years of craftsmanship and innovation, Pivot Stove is once again setting the standard—creating wood stoves that honour the past, respond to the present, and are built for the future. The original Pivot Stove is back, and it’s only just getting started.
