There are just about as many ways to barbecue as there are barbecue recipes out there. Different set ups, grills, smokers, pits, fuels, charcoal, campfire – however you barbecue, may you find it enjoyable, may your family be safe, and may your food be TASTY!⁣ ⁣ Remember, any oil you use to grease your grill will burn when it’s over its smoke point. At 415F, EVOO has one of the highest smoke points AND, if its smoke point is exceeded, does not form carcinogens. EVOO will even help stabilize other oils somewhat as it increases the overall smoke point. This is the main reason EVOO is amazing for barbecuing, brushing over your grill grate, lubricating your skewers, marinading and brushing over meats, and more. ⁣ ⁣ Even our flavour Infused Olive Oils have these amazing qualities so you can be assured you’re cooking with the best ingredients while getting supreme flavour for your ribs, burgers, peppers, mushroom caps… we could go on, but that’s what the Recipes section on our website is for… 😉 Find our Recipes link in our bio!

There are so many fantastic fishing locations in the Eastman that it can be hard to pick where to go on your adventure, but here are a few resources to help you choose.
