My name is Thomas Woods Price.  I was born in St. Johnsbury, Vermont.  I am a mason by trade, and I learned the art of the masonry stove from Eric Nilsen of Dalton, New Hampshire.  I co-founded Roywood Heaters with Royce Thompson after he hired me to build his Finnish Fireplace.  I am in charge of product design, refractory castings, and installation.  I want to be of assistance to anyone interested in the masonry stove.
