Our Story: The Heart of Canadian Grilling

Born From a Passion for Grilling

Maple Hearth Grills was founded on a simple, yet profound, passion: the love of grilling and celebrating Canadian outdoor living. What started in 2005 as a small workshop in the heart of Toronto, driven by a desire to build barbecue grills that truly meet the rugged demands of Canada's diverse climate, has grown into a leading name in premium outdoor cooking.

Our founders, avid grill masters themselves, were frustrated by grills that quickly succumbed to harsh winters and humid summers. They envisioned durable, high-performance machines that were not just tools, but centerpieces for family gatherings and culinary adventures.

Today, that vision remains our guiding principle. Every Maple Hearth Grill is a testament to our commitment to Canadian manufacturing excellence, using only the finest materials and masterful craftsmanship to ensure your grill stands the test of time, season after season.
