We're explorers but we don't journey alone. Our quest? Sharing good times with others around a fire—be it on a mountainside, at seaside, or outside our backdoor. We know every good time starts with an invitation, and there's no better enticement than great-tasting food. And the best food, we believe, is cooked with a flame and kissed by smoke.

We're a passionate team of outdoor-lovers, makers, and culinary experts committed to bringing five-star flavor to the great outdoors with versatile gear that can stand up to the demands of both the backcountry and back patio foodies.

The same vision that reinvented camp-cooking thirty years ago guides everything we make today, from camp cook systems to pizza ovens to pellet grills.

Whatever we do, we'll never stop finding ways to help others gather outside because as food fuels our body and nature nourishes our spirit, togetherness sustains our souls.

Walters Falls Wood Products supplies a variety of Crown Royal BBQ Products!

Crown Royal whiskies are aged to perfection in white American oak barrels. During this process the wood imparts the flavours of vanilla, caramel and oak into the liquid producing a harmonious balance of flavour. When the barrels are emptied, the distinct character of Crown Royal is left behind in the wood.

Now you can infuse the rich and robust flavour of Crown Royal into your next barbecue with a line of grilling and smoking products made from Crown Royal barrels. Available in pellet, chip, chunk and plank forms.
