Member Profile: Kindled Timber
Kindled Timber, based in Wanamaker, Indiana, was founded by Troy A. Keen with the vision of redefining the fireplace industry through craftsmanship, integrity, and customer-focused service. The company specializes in fireplaces, mantles, installations, remodels, and new-construction projects—serving both homeowners and builders with a balance of quality and professionalism.
Established in February 2021, Kindled Timber began as a family-driven idea to provide fireplace solutions without the pressure-driven sales tactics often seen in the industry. From the start, Troy emphasized communication, precision, and a personalized approach to every project. That commitment has guided the company’s steady growth and earned Kindled Timber both NFI and CSIA certifications—markers of expertise and trust.
In January 2025, Kindled Timber expanded with the opening of its full hearth shop in Wanamaker. This development marked a strategic step in the company’s evolution, providing a dedicated space to showcase fireplace models, host consultations, and strengthen relationships with contractors, designers, and clients.
Troy’s leadership philosophy centers on creating value through professionalism, collaboration, and consistent execution. His ability to connect with customers and industry partners alike has positioned Kindled Timber as a respected name in the hearth market. By combining technical skill with strong communication and service standards, Troy continues to build a company defined by integrity, growth, and long-term client satisfaction.
