In our shop at 33015 Sylvan Rd, just outside Parkhill, Ontario. Every pit is designed and fabricated in-house by the Bog Line crew — nothing is imported and re-badged.

Nick Ince and Will Rempel. They were working in oil and gas when Nick went looking to rent a decent smoker for his wedding and couldn't find one in Canada. So they built their own. One thing led to another, and now it's a full-time shop.

Traditional hardwood-burning offset smokers from the 94-gallon Small Block up to 1,000-gallon commercial pits, on skids or house-built trailers. We also build direct-heat pits, live-fire tables and the campfire cook pit, plus one-off custom builds with hot-rod and patina packages.

A smoker with the fire in a separate firebox beside the cook chamber. Heat and smoke travel through the chamber and out the stack, so the meat cooks low and slow on clean hardwood smoke rather than over direct flame. It's the standard pit in Central Texas barbecue.

Our 94-gallon backyard offset: a 48″ × 24″ cook chamber and a 20″ × 28″ firebox, all in ¼″ steel, about 800 lb, with a Tel-Tru gauge, ball-valve grease drain and a removable 89″ stack. It's a standard build — sold as shown, with no modifications, upgrades or finish options — for $4,900 CAD plus HST. See the Small Block page for everything.

Reclaimed propane tanks make great cook chambers. It isn't about cost — the smooth, rounded inside moves air properly, which gives you an even cooking surface. And they look good.

Almost everything we build is custom. We have a baseline package for each size and style, then we work with you on size, layout, features and finish to suit how and what you cook. The one exception is the 94-gallon Small Block: it's a standard build, so it isn't modified or upgraded. Custom offsets start at 250 gallons.

Yes — commercial pits are where Bog Line started. Our customers include restaurants, caterers and service clubs cooking for hundreds of people at a time.

Yes. We build our own trailers with wood storage, from single-axle up to tandem-axle units, and multi-trailer rigs for caterers.

It depends on how many people you feed and how often. The 94-gallon Small Block is built for the backyard. Caterers and restaurants usually land somewhere between 250 and 1,000 gallons. Tell us what you cook and for how many, and we'll talk you through it.

It depends on the build and what's already in the shop — check the Build Board to see what we're working on right now. Call the shop for a current lead time on your pit.

Live fire only: hardwood and charcoal. No propane burners, no pellets. The Small Block runs beautifully on white oak.
