Our Story

We’re well travelled and seasoned BBQ and Smoker affectionados. Locavore foodies for many years we became serious masters of the art of smoking after purchasing our first pellet fed smoker, where we perfected our southern style smoked pulled pork. The meat is dry rubbed with a homemade spice blend overnight, and is smoked for at least 10 hours over 100% apple wood and other real hard woods such as alder and maple. The result is always fall-off-the-bone goodness. The meat is then mixed with a special homemade BBQ finishing sauce, topped with homemade coleslaw, and served on an artisan Brioche roll.

We’re active volunteers and supporters of urban agriculture initiatives and worked on the creation of the first Community Garden in the District of North Vancouver, ( www.ediblegardenproject.com/) . For some time, we’ve been volunteer cooks at our local seniors’ centre, Parkgate Community Centre, (www.myparkgate.com) The most often requested meal is the Pulled Pork Sandwich. From this modest beginning came the idea of participating in the newly expanded Farmers’ Markets on the North Shore, (www.northshoregreenmarkets.com/) The new Blue Smoke BBQ food concession trailer is a natural extension of our passion for making great food for great people.

The prime ingredients of our Menu, (www.bluesmokebbq.ca/menu) are all locally sourced and the Menu is founded on the principles of sustainability, and seasonality. Our food is fresh, free range animal product with no enhancing or synthetic growth hormones. We’re proud to feature our main suppliers, Two Rivers Specialty Meats (www.tworiversmeats.com/), and our artisanal bakery supplier, Stuyvers Bake Studio, Burnaby. (www.stuyversbakestudio.com/)

Finally, our take away food containers, utensils, napkins and wrappings are all made of compostable materials resulting in a no waste impact at any of our serving locations.

Tastilly Yours
