RPG Brands, headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, stands at the forefront of the fireplace and outdoor living industries, championing both innovation and sustainability. Founded by Kris Richardson, this family-owned enterprise integrates three specialized brands: Modern Flames Electric Fireplaces, Grand Canyon Gas Logs, and Wildfire Outdoor Living.

Central to RPG Brands' ethos is a harmonious blend of traditional craftsmanship with avant-garde design. This unique fusion not only sets RPG apart in a crowded market but also appeals to a broad spectrum of consumers seeking both style and sustainability.

The company's extensive network, supplying over a thousand specialty stores with top-tier fireplaces and BBQ equipment, is complemented by high-profile clients like Marriott® Hotels, Wendy's, and SoFi Stadium. RPG's influence extends internationally, reaching markets in Europe and Australia, showcasing its global appeal and commitment to environmental responsibility.

Sustainability is a cornerstone of RPG Brands' product development, particularly evident in its suite of offerings. Modern Flames Electric Fireplaces are at the vanguard, enabling homeowners to replace carbon-emitting wood or gas fireplaces with eco-friendly electric alternatives that do not compromise on aesthetics or warmth. These electric fireplaces provide an environmentally conscious solution, significantly reducing household carbon footprints.

Similarly, Grand Canyon Gas Logs revolutionizes the traditional fireplace with advanced technology that lowers natural gas consumption. This innovation not only enhances energy efficiency but also aligns with the growing demand for sustainable living solutions.

Wildfire Outdoor Living further complements this eco-conscious approach, offering premium outdoor gas grills and cookware known for their craftsmanship and customization options, enabling environmentally responsible outdoor cooking experiences.

RPG Brands is more than a leader in its industry; it is a pioneer in integrating sustainability with lifestyle products. By offering innovative, environmentally-friendly solutions, RPG Brands is not just shaping the fireplace and outdoor living sectors but is also actively contributing to a more sustainable future.
