Our products are made from western red cedar, red alder, Oregon maple and shagbark hickory. All our wood is 100-percent north American. Being environmentally conscience, out wood is purchased thru the "added value program". After we purchase the wood it is kiln dried to ensure that it is 100-percent clean. Plank cooking works because the porous wood surface absorbs moisture at room temperature and then releases the moisture and a smoky aroma to flavor foods as they’re slowly cooked in a hot oven or on a bbq grill.
