Learn more about your Instructor: Wade Hardiman

Originally from Grand Bank, NL, Wade relocated to Alberta over three decades ago. His early experience in butchery sparked a lasting fascination with the varieties and cuts of meat, complementing his love for hunting and fishing. This passion fills his freezers with a bounty of meats and fish, which he expertly prepares, smokes, and barbecues using an impressive collection of equipment: multiple smokers, a pizza oven, a pig roaster, and several BBQs.

 

Inspired by the growing popularity of BBQ and smoking, Wade sought to deepen his knowledge, experimenting alone and with friends, and even diving into sausage making after attending a course with his son, Patrick. This new hobby has become a cherished family activity, offering the joy of crafting sausages with chosen ingredients. For Wade, the early mornings and long days by his "Smoke Pit" are a labour of love, a testament to his belief in never stopping learning and trying. Whether it's the satisfaction of tasting the delicious outcomes or the envy of his neighbours smelling the BBQ all day, Wade finds immense reward in his culinary adventures.
