The makers we cook with.
A short list of brands earning their place in our kitchen. No paid placements — if it is here, it gets used.
Grills & Smokers
Hearth & Iron Grills
American-built offset smokers and kettle grills.
Built to last a generation, and the temperature control makes long cooks simple.
Butcher
Ridgeline Butcher Co.
Whole-animal butchery and dry-aged cuts.
Great seasoning starts with great meat. These are the cuts we cook on.
Boards & Tools
Copper Creek Woodworks
Hand-finished cutting boards and serving slabs.
Honest craft, made by hand — the same standard we hold ourselves to.
Pantry
Sidecar Pickle House
Small-batch pickles and brined vegetables.
The acidity cuts through rich BBQ better than anything else on the table.
