Our 20+ year old foundry – one of China’s earliest casting factories.

“For US buyers, the demand for solid cast iron wood stoves continues to rise – not only for off-grid cabins but also as stylish supplemental heating. The key is finding a partner who can deliver consistent cast iron quality, precise machining, and reliable compliance support. At TJJ, we bridge the gap between traditional foundry craftsmanship and modern export efficiency.”
Common Procurement Challenges (and How We Solve Them)
| Industry Pain Point | Our Solution at TJJ |
|---|---|
| Inconsistent casting quality (porosity, uneven walls) | 20+ years of foundry mastery, strict raw material control, and ISO 9001:2015 certified processes. |
| Long lead times / missed shipments | Vertically integrated production (molding, melting, machining, assembly) – typical lead time 45–60 days from order confirmation. |
| Difficulty meeting US compliance (EPA, UL) | Designs can be adapted to meet EPA 2020/UL 1482 standards. We work with third-party test labs for verification (disclaimer: final certification responsibility lies with buyer/importer). |
| Lack of design customization | Full OEM/ODM support: from concept sketches to 3D printing, casting patterns, and finished prototypes. MOQ from 100–300 units depending on complexity. |
| Supply chain transparency & after-sales worry | Dedicated project manager, weekly production updates, and a 12-month warranty on casting defects. We also assist with logistics (FOB/CIF/DDP options). |

Typical Use Cases for US Imports

- Supplemental heating in suburban houses – rising interest in zone heating to reduce gas/electric bills.
- Outdoor glamping & hospitality – high-end wood stoves for rental cabins and tiny houses.
- Industrial / garage heaters – heavy-duty models for workshops.

What Our Customers Say
James Hartwell
CEO, Hartwell Stoves (Ohio, USA)
“We switched to TJJ after quality issues with another Chinese foundry. Their solid cast iron wood stove bodies have far fewer defects – our reject rate dropped from 8% to under 1.5%. Communication is fast, and they genuinely understand US design preferences.”
Maria Gonzalez
Sourcing Manager, EcoWarm Home (California)
“What impressed me most was TJJ’s OEM flexibility. We wanted a compact stove with a specific door hinge design – they made the pattern in 3 weeks and the first samples were spot on. The solid cast iron finish is uniform and ready for our enamel coating.”
Robert Chen
Owner, Outdoor Living Supply (Texas Wholesaler)
“After visiting the foundry last year, I was convinced of their capability. The scale is impressive, and they have a dedicated export team. Lead times have been consistent at 50 days for our 500-unit orders. Excellent value for solid cast iron wood stoves.”
Sarah Mitchell
Procurement Lead, NorthWood Hearth (Canada)
“We needed a supplier that could handle our increasing volume without sacrificing quality. TJJ has scaled with us – from 200 units to 1,200 units per year. Their solid cast iron wood stoves consistently pass our incoming inspection.”
