You may have noticed a new name around here - Brick, Stone and Fire 🔥

We’ve updated our page name to better represent both sides of what we do under one name:
• HeatKit Hearth Systems
• Compass Brick and Stone

This change brings our masonry heater and wood-fired oven work together with our brick, block and stone masonry services - while keeping the same team, craftsmanship and values behind it all.

The amazing masonry work on the Basilica St. Lawrence in Asheville, North Carolina.

Rafael Guastavino was a master of his craft.

This 8x8 patterned tile backsplash brings just the right amount of movement to a bright, modern kitchen. The soft neutral tones keep it subtle, while the repeating geometric design adds depth and character without overpowering the space.

Paired with crisp white cabinetry, warm wood floors, and black accents, it all comes together.

This is the heart of a contraflow masonry heater 🔥

The Heat-Kit core takes a lot of the guesswork out of building by using precision cast components. Instead of cutting and shaping every internal piece, these components form consistent flow paths, making the build faster, cleaner, and more reliable.

One standout feature is the “white” bake oven, designed for retained heat baking without direct flame contact. Perfect for bread, pizza, and slow cooking after the fire is done.

You also get flexibility where it matters. This core design allows for multiple chimney and bench configurations, so you can tailor the layout to your space while still getting that long, even heat masonry heaters are known for.

Efficient burn. Massive heat storage. Custom layout options.

This is where performance meets smart design.
