# Smoke Fire Grill™ — Northern Barbecue
 
> Smoke Fire Grill™ is the home of the Northern Barbecue™ method, created by Mike Belobradic — a distinctly Canadian lens on global live-fire cooking traditions, not a geographic style reference. Mike is a speaker, educator, and strategist: 30 years of executive marketing experience, WSET wine and spirits credentials, formal culinary training, and KCBS-certified barbecue judging. He is not positioned as a chef, caterer, or culinary demonstrator.
