Prices are higher than online for parts but I like supporting a local business. Second rating is for Traeger. I've owned three and my latest one has extreme quality issues. Owned for less than four years, but it has had numerous issues, often arising in the middle of a cook. This one is sheltered and used medium to lightly and I've had to replace several hot rods, had pellet fires in the BBQ because of malfunctions and now the fan doesn't work despite replacing the fan. Traeger rubs and sauces are mediocre compared to store bought, homemade, or other product. I'm afraid Traeger's good days are gone apparently due to some business decisions. Luckily there are other pellet grills and smoker out there, hopefully better quality and more reliable.

I shopped around to other stores, but I was so impressed (and refreshed) by the genuine helpfulness and sincerity that Doug showed, and his associate, Karl, that I didn't want to buy the beds anywhere else. Just this month, one of the legs to our King Bed frame broke, and I knew that Doug had sold the store, so I thought I would be stuck dealing with months of red tape by calling the bed frame manufacturer directly. NOT SO! I went into the store, Karl remembered me, and was he was SO helpful, and he not only found me a temporary bed leg to use, he took the broken leg and went home and FIXED IT in his home workshop! This was so far above and beyond what I expected--and almost 2 years after I bought the beds! Karl was SO helpful and friendly, and stands by his products. Don't go anywhere else. It's a reputable company, with great people--low pressure and excellent customer service. Highly recommend!

I recently purchased several Bosch appliances from Kelly's Appliance Center in Salem, including a…read morerefrigerator, dishwasher, stove, and microwave. After receiving a call that all of my appliances were ready for pickup at their warehouse, my husband went to collect them--only to find that the stove I had purchased had been sold to someone else by one of Kelly's sales associates. We were told we would have to wait for a replacement stove to be delivered. As a cottage baker, a reliable stove is essential to my business. Unfortunately, the replacement stove did not cook my products correctly. When I contacted Kelly's to report the issue, they were dismissive of my concern and I was told that their return policy only covers a five-day window--essentially leaving me with no recourse. Three weeks later, a new control panel was installed on the stove, but there's no guarantee this will resolve the issue. I can't shake the suspicion that I was given a returned or defective unit from the beginning. Sadly, this experience has completely eroded my trust in Kelly's Appliance Center. As well as the quality and reliability of Bosch stoves. I chose Kelly's because I believed they would offer superior service and support, but unfortunately, my experience has proven otherwise. I would not choose to do business with them again.

Driving around and calling proved useless as the only bellows we found was almost $300!! It was gorgeous though, but too beautiful to use. Finally, Home Depot Customer Service recommended this small mom and pop shop. I'm so glad they did! We called them and yes they have bellows. We drove over and were greeted with a smile. I was stupefied to think I'm going to a sewing and vacuum repair for a bellows?!? What?? Uhh, okay, then I might go to a burger joint looking for a car wash?? ... Jokes on me as this place has it all! Yes, they have loads of sewing and vacuum equipment, supplies and repairs, plus they have a beautiful selection of pizza ovens and outdoor barbecues. There was one pizza oven in particular that really caught my eye. This beauty would go well on my patio deck next to my smoker. It runs on either wood or propane and is assembled on a really nice frame with shelving. It can do fairly large pizzas as well. Other areas of the store surprised me as there was also a nice variety of wood and pellet stoves as well as a section for sewing and vacuum. I ended up with a nice quality bellows for less than $100 and a firewood tote that was made from recycled canvas materials and very sturdy. The store is clean and well organized with quality brand names. Staff are polite and friendly and they mentioned they are new owners. I would definitely go back for more supplies.

It has followed me to many moves, and has made clothes and gifts throughout the years. A few years ago, the button hole feature did not work. I took it to the center, and was told it was not worth fixing. So I just worked around its idiosyncrasies, and my husband bought me a new Brothers Machine. What a piece of junk! I hated it, and used my Viking as well as I could. Recently, I decided to at least have my old Viking cleaned, and took it in for service. A whole new crew--and THEY FIXED IT LIKE NEW!! I am SO HAPPY! And it was only a week to do, and reasonable rate. Can't say enough about the great service. Please support this business.

Not only is the grill amazing, so is the company. For example. I had a question so I called their number. Dennis answered, he was polite, knowledgeable and perfectly helpful. What made it even better is that a few days later, Dennis called back to check in and see if everything was fine and working out (which it was) and to see if I had any other questions. I don't think I've had customer service like that in so long I can't remember. If you're on the fence. Buy the damn grill. You won't regret it.

(And yes, it is a small business, Todd is often the sole employee with one or two max young helpers; usually his sons). Shipping heavy stoves is very expensive, and occasionally he has to adjust the shipping prices. I know from experience crazy amounts of duty and import charges can occur and at times likely he has absorbed costs to make them as affordable as possible for people. SilverFire also does great humanitarian work; check out their website pictures and videos. Google Youtube videos for accurate reviews of this company and their products and you'll see that these stoves work great and are perfect in this COVID day...perfect for off-grid cooking and emergency water and food prep, etc. They also sell things like solar lanterns, really quick boiling kettles, solar ovens (I have one that I use in sunny California), etc. I also own the scout stove and that's my fave quick little one that works super efficiently.

I hiked up to the top of a small peak in the cascades and used some pine ones to heat up some water for food with the scout. It was snowing at the time! We use the pizza oven for pizza (obviously) but it's great for anything you would use a normal oven for. We used to lose power a lot in our last house and it was great to be able to cook food even when the power was out. Highly recommended. I think some people are expecting amazon levels of service... I think amazon has enough of my money, it's nice to support a small business. Thanks Todd!

We have an old Weber grill that was in need of some parts replacement…read more The Lowe's and Home Depot's, and Ace Hardware's of the world simply do not carry parts for older models. I could have ordered what I needed on Amazon, but I elected to purchase locally from Hometown. It's hard to believe, but an actual HUMAN BEING answered my call on about the 3rd ring. Hometown Hearth had to order an item, but it was here in 3 days...and the prices were nearly identical to what I found online. A real human called to tell me that my order was in. When I picked it up, there wasn't any codes to enter, or anything to scan. The person simply handed my parts, and I left a happy camper. Buying locally from the dwindling "mom and pop" stores is THE way to go! GREAT customer service, NO fiddling with codes, passwords, or dealing with (often) clueless big box store assistants. If you are in the market for anything from simple BBQ parts to high-dollar grills and wood stoves, THIS is a great option in the Portland Metro area. They are the real deal.

I drive by here regularly and today I came in for a propane refill. 4.6 gallons of fuel for $10.99 Not a bad price. They had 2 guys filling tanks and handing out tickets to take inside and pay. They looked hot as it was blazing outside and although they had a shelter to give them shade, it has a metal roof. They were making the best of it. 1 guy had a vulgar mouth and the tall guy didn't talk, he just looked like he wanted to go home. I was on a mission until I walked into the showroom. I swear I heard an angel singing when I noticed what I was walking into. I paid. Said, thank you and walked around till I felt guilty for how long I was talking. If we didn't have meat in the car, I definitely would have stayed for a while. Good news is that it's BBQ season and my other tank needs fuel and I need ... something, so I'll be back soon.
