Your living room needs a focal point that also delivers real warmth on cold Fox River evenings. Oswego has grown into a busy Kendall County suburb with newer subdivisions, established neighborhoods and plenty of homeowners who like to build things in the garage. Our team helps with fireplace design and installation, plus gas, pellet, wood and corn stoves that fit modern floor plans. DIY welders and contractors find torches, welding wire, electrodes and plasma cutters at our counter, along with machine sales and repair. We also serve farms on the edges of Kendall County with grain handling and drying equipment. You will find Midwest Agri-Com in Ottawa, southwest of Oswego on Route 71, ready to walk you through options.


Our Service

Fireplace Installation and Hobby Welding Support

Turning a plain wall into a fireplace feature takes careful design, solid installation and finishes that match your home. We design fireplaces with cultured stone, brick, masonry or wood mantels and complete them with tools and accessories. Our stove selection includes wood and pellet models in soapstone, steel and cast iron, plus gas and corn options for homes without a traditional chimney. For garage hobbyists and contractors, we sell new welders, repair existing ones and stock filler rods, handles, fuel kits and other consumables. Kendall County farms also rely on us for grain handling and drying, including stirring machines, bin stairs and unload systems. Our own team handles design and installation, construction, repairs, upkeep and restoration, with inspection to confirm everything works.

Do I need an existing chimney to install a gas fireplace?

No. Many gas fireplaces use direct venting through an exterior wall, which makes them a good fit for newer homes without a masonry chimney. Placement depends on wall access and gas line routing. Our installation team can review your floor plan and recommend a location and venting setup that works safely for your home.

What should a beginner look for in a first MIG welder?

Look at your existing trim, flooring and color palette, then pick a surround that complements them. Cultured stone suits a rustic or transitional look, brick feels classic, and a wood mantel adds warmth. Consider the scale of the room too. Visit our showroom to see finishes in person and talk through combinations with our design team.
