AF Distributors stands as one of the Western United States’ largest two-step distributors, specializing in supplying brick-and-mortar dealers with fireplaces, hearth products, BBQ grills, and outdoor heating solutions.

Founded in 2009 by President and Owner Keith Richardson, AF Distributors originally focused on built-in BBQ grills within the Phoenix metro area. But the story really began two years earlier…

Keith’s journey took him to Sydney, Australia, where he worked with Beefeater, a renowned Australian grill company. This experience ignited his passion for BBQ grills, and upon returning to the U.S., he chose Phoenix, AZ, as his home base to launch this vision.

Over the years, AF Distributors broadened its offerings to include fireplaces, outdoor heating, and outdoor kitchen products. Our sister company, Arizona Fireplaces, played a pivotal role, bringing credibility, extensive knowledge, and market reach in the fireplace industry, helping AF Distributors thrive. Partnering with trusted brands like IHP, Napoleon, Bromic, and RH Peterson, we’ve established a robust dealer network that continues to grow. Today, we manage over 140,000 square feet of inventory, showcasing 30+ leading brands.

From the beginning, our mission has been to put our dealers first. By empowering them to succeed, we build success for everyone involved.
