Born from a Passion for Authentic Flavor
From humble beginnings around a smoky backyard grill to Vancouver's trusted purveyor of premium grilling essentials, Ember & Stone Provisions was sparked by a simple idea: that exceptional barbecue isn't just about food, it's about shared experiences and unforgettable flavor.
Our journey began years ago, during countless travels across North America where we immersed ourselves in diverse grilling traditions. We discovered a gap in the market for truly artisanal, high-quality rubs, marinades, and sauces crafted with integrity, especially here in Vancouver. This ignited a mission: to bring that authentic, rich grilling heritage home.
At Ember & Stone, we're more than just a brand; we're a community. Our commitment extends beyond the bottle to empowering every grill master, from novice to expert, with the ingredients and knowledge to create culinary masterpieces. We believe in quality over convenience, education over shortcuts, and the enduring power of good food to bring people together.
