Great barbecue takes time…. Lots of it.

Today we started one of our last cooks on our Bogline 500 gallon pit, and were treated to an incredible sunrise to go with it. With a coffee on the go and the crackle of a cherry and hickory wood fire for a soundtrack, it’s a heck of a way to start the day.

The fellas at Bog Line Barbecue are building our newest pit, and we are pumped to get our hands on it. We have a few huge events coming up next month, and didn’t need much convincing to move up to a 1000 gallon offset cooker. Yup, twice as big.

This 500-gallon rig has served us well, turning out countless memories and even more good eats, but it’s time to level up. Going big means more space, better airflow, and more food for the masses.

Huge thanks to the Bog Line crew for bringing this vision to life. Next month is going to be legendary—who's hungry?

This guy didn’t have a clue what was coming.

This picture of me was taken almost two decades ago, and the experience is about to come full circle.

I was called to Afghanistan 2006 in response to a mass Canadian casualty situation, and asked to step into shoes of friends and colleagues who were hellaciously injured or had died for our flag. During that tour a nasty bug made its way inside my body and made itself a home, creating a pile of problems when I finally returned to Canada. Chemo x 3👎🏻 steroids 👎🏻 biopsies 👎🏻 side effects 👎🏻 long term health 👎🏻

To say thank you to the doctors who helped me get through all that, I started a charity barbecue for a hospice. It grew, and grew, and grew into Battlefield Barbecue, which continues to honour Canadian sacrifice and support Wounded Warriors today.

On the 12th of September, Battlefield Barbecue will have the incredible honour of feeding a gathering of soldiers and loved ones at CFB Petawawa who participated in TF-306 Operation Medusa 20 years ago. I cannot imagine a more full circle moment, or a crowd I want to buy lunch for more than these. This tour saw some of the worst of the war in Afghanistan, and they deserve recognition far beyond what has been given to them.

To everyone who has been invited, we cannot wait to connect with you and feed you our best. To those who have supported Battlefield Barbecue through sales, this is the type of event your purchases fund. Supporting and remembering those who serve our country isn’t a sales pitch, or a marketing scheme, it’s who we are and why Battlefield exists. Thank you for supporting us, and funding events like these, you’ve bought an incredible group of deserving folks a premium barbecue feast.

We look forward to sharing photos from this event with you.

Keeping the Mission First.
When we founded Battlefield Barbecue, the goal wasn’t just to make premium seasonings and sauces. It was to support the men, women, and families who have sacrificed so much for this country.
Today, we are proud to share our latest donation to Wounded Warriors Canada.
Because of you, our community, we commit $1 from every single product sold to their life-changing mental health and transition programs. It’s a simple equation: thousands of products sold means thousands of dollars delivered straight to Wounded Warriors Canada.
This donation is a direct reflection of your choice to buy Canadian, support a veteran-owned business, and honour those who served. Whether you’re shaking Frag-out onto a brisket or gifting a Battle Box, you are actively helping Canadian veterans, first responders, and their families get the support they need.
To everyone who has bought a pouch, shared a post, or supported us on the road, we thank you. This contribution belongs to you.
The grills are hot, and the mission continues

We love a good Canada Day celebration.

This year we will be headed down to the Kemptville Legion to share in the celebrations. The Bogline pit will be with us, and we’ll have the smoke rolling with a few unique and a few classic menu items.

Our classic and beloved Armadillo eggs, pulled pork sandwiches, and two types of beef sausage will be filling the Canada Day air on Reuben street with the smells of a happy mouth. We’ll be serving from lunch until the food runs out.

We are proud to be with our local Kemptville Legion this Canada Day. These folks continue to support veterans in our community, and this year they’ll be bringing the music too, with two live bands in the afternoon. Looking for a burger or dog? The legion will have their bbq rolling as well, serving up the classics.

Come say hi, and bring the patriotism! What a place to live. 🇨🇦🇨🇦

What a day!

While catching up on some rest, we are taking a minute to say THANK YOU to everyone involved in our event yesterday, with a very special shout out to our volunteers.

We are finalizing the numbers still, but this community came together and raised close to $15,000 for Beth Donovan Hospice, the Kemptville food bank, and CHEO in just a couple hours.

Thank you for sharing a meal with us, thank you for sharing kindness and generosity with us, and thank you for making a difference to charities that matter.

We’ve been getting LOTS of questions about our charity barbecue this weekend….

Food service starts at 11 am, and we serve until the food runs out (brisket disappears quick!). Lineups get formed pretty quick, BUT we are well prepared this year and will be walking the line saying hi and handing out appetizer ribs, wings, pork belly, drinks and freezies to make the line a little more enjoyable…. And we have a HUGE bouncy castle to keep the kids busy.

The address is across from 25 Tamarack Circle. There are no tickets, and we do not have “pricing” for meals. We kindly ask that you return our generosity as you can to help support CHEO and BDH and the food bank in a meaningful way.

The auction is live now on our website, but items will be on site with us. All bidding goes through the site to keep it clean and fair for everyone. (This year’s lineup is AWESOME!) it ends at 3pm on Saturday.

I think that covers it??? If you have any other questions feel free to comment and we’ll get back to you ASAP as we tend the pit.

Dads are notoriously hard to shop for. Our solution? Skip the socks and give him a gift that tells a story.

Upgrade his grill game with a Battle Box gift set or some premium backyard merch. Every single purchase supports Wounded Warriors Canada, giving back to those who sacrificed for our country.

Find him a gift at our site battlefieldbarbecue.ca or come see us for lunch this Saturday at our charity barbecue to pick up a last minute gift.

Pitmaster pastor….

Southgate Church in Kemptville has been so great to us and our charity barbecue, lending us their bouncy castle to not only put smiles on the kids faces but also to keep smiles on the faces of their parents in line!

This past weekend we had a chance to invite Southgate’s own Pitmaster Pastor Kevin by to cook on our Bogline pit for their yard sale. He didn’t skip a beat, hopped right in and had the crowds smiling with pulled pork and brisket cooked over hickory and cherry wood. Over $12,000 was raised to send kids to camp this summer!

It was tough cooking conditions with the massage chairs and beautiful sun, but we got through it together.
