THE STOAKED DIFFERENCE
STOAKED Creates Premium Products from In-House Upcycled Material
FROM BARREL STAVES TO YOUR GRILL
What’s a stave, you ask? They’re the individual side “slats” that make a wooden barrel. Staggemeyer has a long-standing reputation for producing staves that create the finest-quality barrels required for wines and whiskeys to mature to excellence.
Fifty years ago, our company began operation in the southeast corner of Minnesota, just outside Caledonia. We are a preferred maker of barrel staves used by some of the most well-known brands of wine and whiskey in the world. Our customers include fine wineries from France, Italy, Australia and California. We’re also proud to provide staves that add their flavor influences to the distinctive tastes of two popular brands of whiskey – Jack Daniel’s® and Woodford Reserve®. We are recognized as a leading producer of world-class staves for the premium wine and whiskey industries, shipping to their cooperages (barrel makers) around the globe.
UPCYCLED FROM THE BEST
Borne from the same fine raw material, STAGG’S™ Premium Fuel Pellets provide everything a pellet wood stove user is looking for – durability, consistency, high BTUs and low ash. STAGG’S is an optimized blend of oaks and other hardwoods, formulated specifically for pellet wood stoves used for residential and commercial heating.
​
While sharing many great qualities of our BBQ product, STOAKED, there are important differences in STAGG’S production quality tier. For those who may be tempted to use surplus STAGG’s in their grill or smoker, we caution that it’s a hardwood blend designed for BTUs (not for taste!) and not manufactured to food-grade standards.
Values
Our Future Forest
With a proud legacy of being a family-owned company, Staggemeyer believes in the importance of preserving and enhancing the woodlands we utilize for future generations to use and enjoy. Our commitment to the environment has been ongoing from the beginning, in all aspects of our business. We adhere to sustainable resource management practices that are environmentally sensible and socially responsible.
​
A forest is a dynamic ecosystem. Today’s advanced resource management improves aesthetics, increases site quality for tree species and improves ecosystems. Staggemeyer Stave also strives to reduce greenhouse gases by reclaiming all its stave production byproducts. There’s no discarded wood material left to emit CO2 as it slowly decomposes – raising the carbon footprint. Reclamation reduces the carbon footprint. When we partner responsibly with forests to enhance their natural dynamics, everyone benefits.
In 2021, we were featured on the television program, Manufacturing Marvels. Their show spotlights American manufacturers, their products and processes. You can watch the 2-minute segment below.
