Made in Canada Matters: Black Earth Grills

Black Earth Grills blog banner

There is something distinctly Canadian about gathering around great food. Whether it's a summer barbecue on the deck, a family celebration at the cottage, or a weekend get-together with friends and neighbours, some of our best memories are made around the grill. At the heart of those moments is a shared appreciation for quality, craftsmanship, and hospitality. Few brands embody those values quite like Black Earth Grills.

Built on generations of manufacturing experience, Black Earth Grills was founded by a team that combined their engineering expertise, passion for food, and commitment to craftsmanship into a single innovative product. Their goal was simple: create a better outdoor cooking experience for people who love to entertain.

Black Earth Grills manufacturing — Made in Canada Matters

The result is the HYBRID Grill, a revolutionary system that combines the convenience of a traditional propane grill with the flavour-enhancing capabilities of a wood smoker. By bringing these two cooking methods together in one appliance, Black Earth has created a versatile cooking platform that allows users to grill, smoke, roast, braise, bake, and barbecue with confidence.

What makes Black Earth Authentically Canadian is its commitment to thoughtful innovation and quality manufacturing. Canadians have always been practical problem-solvers, designing products that work harder, last longer, and enhance everyday life. The HYBRID Grill reflects that philosophy perfectly, delivering smoke-infused flavour in a fraction of the time required by traditional smokers while offering precise temperature control and consistent results.

Built from durable 304 stainless steel and weighing more than 200 pounds, the HYBRID is designed with longevity in mind. It features one of the largest cooking surfaces in its class while maintaining a space-conscious design with shelves that conveniently slide away when not in use. Arriving nearly fully assembled, it offers modern convenience without sacrificing performance.

From backyard barbecues to holiday gatherings, Black Earth Grills helps create memorable experiences through food. Their dedication to engineering excellence, manufacturing expertise, and bringing people together around the table reflects the values Canadians appreciate most: quality, innovation, durability, and community.

At Cloverdale Paint, we proudly celebrate companies that continue to push Canadian manufacturing forward while helping families create meaningful moments. Black Earth Grills is a perfect example of Canadian ingenuity at work, transforming the way we cook, entertain, and gather.

From the Grill: Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus with Herbed Cream Cheese

Simple ingredients. Incredible flavour.

Ingredients

  • 1 brick cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tsp crushed garlic
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp parsley
  • Thinly sliced prosciutto
  • Fresh asparagus spears
  • Crushed pistachios
  • Shaved Parmesan
  • Extra virgin olive oil

Directions

Combine the softened cream cheese with garlic, onion powder, and parsley. Spread the herbed cream cheese onto slices of prosciutto and use it as a "glue" to wrap around individual asparagus spears.

Once you have a generous bundle of wrapped asparagus, place them on a hot preheated grill with the smoke dial set to 500. Grill for a few minutes, turning once.

Remove from the grill and finish with crushed pistachios, shaved Parmesan, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

Serve hot and enjoy.
