Salt and smoke curing has been around for eons and still makes for some of the best meat and fish. Here at BBQ Island, you will be able to achieve some of the tastiest meats for your family on any one of our electric, gas, pellet or charcoal smokers. You can salt, smoke or process meat and fish using both methods at the same time. 

To really up your grill game, adding beer to your next marinade will make a big impact. Your meat will come out tender and flavorful, and the added element only adds a few calories per serving.

While it’s true that anyone can grill – given the proper tools and techniques – there’s an art to crafting the perfect flame-kissed burger or moist BBQ chicken drumstick. Whether you’re attracted to charcoal or you’re a die-hard gas man like King of the Hill’s propane guru Hank Hill, there are key elements to ensuring your food is barbecued like a pro.

Here at BBQ Island, the grilling never stops. We host barbecues year-round and always have some new recipe steaming up our smoker.
