About CMS Mfg. – The Makers of the Rolla Roaster

CMS Manufacturing LLC is a small, family-run business based in Orofino, Idaho, with a singular passion: bringing people together around the campfire. The company is best known as the manufacturer of the Rolla Roaster, the original telescoping campfire fork that has become a staple of outdoor cooking across the United States. Every product that leaves the CMS workshop is made with the same hands-on attention to detail that has defined the brand since its founding.

The Story Behind the Rolla Roaster

The Rolla Roaster was born from a simple, genuine idea. Bob Holzer, a one-armed inventor who had relocated to Idaho, envisioned a campfire fork that could telescope outward — keeping hands safely away from flames while still delivering perfectly roasted marshmallows and hot dogs. Working from a small shop along the Clearwater River, he fashioned early prototypes from TV antennas, added a welded fork and a heat-resistant wooden handle, and the concept was proven. What started as a backyard experiment became the go-to campfire accessory for outdoor enthusiasts everywhere.

CMS Manufacturing took that founding vision and turned it into a refined, durable product line. Today, the Rolla Roaster family includes the classic Rolla Roaster camping fork and the Folding Fork — both designed to make every campfire gathering more enjoyable and more memorable.

Quality and Craftsmanship You Can Count On

One of the hallmarks of CMS Mfg. is its commitment to quality. Every covered product — from the Rolla Roaster to the Folding Fork — is backed by a 10-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. That kind of long-term confidence is rare in the outdoor accessories space, and it reflects a manufacturer that truly stands behind what it builds. All warranty service is handled directly by CMS Manufacturing in Orofino, Idaho, keeping quality control close to home.

Being a proudly made-in-the-USA brand isn't just a marketing claim for CMS — it's a core part of the company's identity. Manufacturing domestically allows the team to maintain tight oversight over every step of the production process, ensuring that each fork that reaches a customer's hands meets the same high standard as the last.

Built for Life Around the Campfire

CMS Mfg.'s philosophy is straightforward: quality of life improves when people gather around a campfire and enjoy each other's company. Whether you're a weekend camper, a backyard fire-pit enthusiast, or a seasoned outdoor adventurer, the Rolla Roaster is engineered to be the last campfire fork you'll ever need to buy. Compact, telescoping, and built tough, it's the kind of gear that earns a permanent spot in your camp kit.
