A proud Family business made in New Zealand
We are a niche “family” business with a wealth of knowledge gained from over 45 years in the heating industry both in the manufacture of our own Wagener stoves and the design and manufacture of “Lion” wet backs. The company began with Leon Kernot (Grandad), and has been grown and developed by Barry Kernot & Ngaire McClure (Mum & Dad) and is now in the capable and energised hands of the 3rd generation Troy Kernot, Kyle McClure and Adam Kernot.
Wagener Stoves has a solid history and we have planned for a stable and strong future ahead. We are committed to producing quality NZ Made products that will stand the test of time and be servicable for years to come.
Home of New Zealand designed and manufactured Wagener Fairburn Slow Combustion Woodrange, the Butler Multi high performance hot water heater, CookTop Wagener Stove, the cute wee Wagener Sparky, big brother Leon and little twin sisters Sparky CA (Clear Air approved) & Sparky RU (Rural woodburner) along with the newest addition Pipi RU (Rural woodburner).
