Our Passion for Outdoor Cooking Excellence
From a humble backyard dream to Calgary's premier grilling destination, Maple Hearth Grills was born from a deep-rooted passion for the art and joy of outdoor cooking. For fifteen years, we've dedicated ourselves to transforming mundane meals into memorable culinary experiences.
Founded by Chef Liam O'Connell, a professional culinarian with a lifelong love for open-flame cooking, our journey began with the belief that a grill is more than just an appliance – it's the heart of gathering, innovation, and delicious discovery. Facing the initial challenges of sourcing truly sustainable materials and integrating smart technology, we persevered, driven by our core values of unparalleled quality, sustainable practices, and unwavering community connection. We envision a future where every Calgary family can achieve outdoor culinary mastery with tools that reflect their lifestyle and values.
This dedication runs through every grill we design, every accessory we curate, and every custom outdoor kitchen we craft. It’s what makes Maple Hearth Grills not just a business, but a family committed to your outdoor cooking legacy.
