The 14th Annual Vesta Awards Program took place at the HPBExpo in Salt Lake City, Utah, on March 7, 2014. At 5pm, a crowd of approximately 1,200 poured into the Ballroom of the Salt Palace Convention Center to enjoy wine, music and good company for the 45 minutes preceding the awards program.

Wiseway was awarded the Best-in-Show - Hearth Products for its Wiseway Pellet Stove, which doesn't require electricity to operate - just gravity. Many felt this product will create a new category in the hearth industry.

Breeo Industries was awarded Best-in-Show - Outdoor Room Products for its Ablaze Fire Pit that is a virtually smokeless outdoor wood firepit. A built-in secondary afterburner drastically reduces smoke around the campfire by igniting the excess smoke.  

Friendly Fires, with three stores in Ontario, Canada, was designated Hearth Retailer of the Year.
