Welcome to Pine & Smoke.
I’m Dylan, a Maine native with a love for the outdoors, rustic cooking, and the stories that unfold in the woods, around a campfire and up to camp. Pine & Smoke started as a way to share those moments — the meals, the adventures, and the little sparks of life that happen when smoke curls over a cast-iron skillet.
Here, you’ll find:
- Maine-inspired recipes — simple, hearty dishes cooked over fire, in cast iron, or in the comforts of a camp or home kitchen.
- Outdoor adventures — from quiet hikes in the woods to lakeside camping trips, told through food and story.
- Stories & traditions — glimpses of Maine life, folklore, and the things that make this place feel like home.
Why “Pine & Smoke”?
It’s a nod to the pine forests that stretch across Maine and the smoke that rises from our fires — whether it’s from a campfire, a stove, or a cast-iron pan. It’s the scent of adventure, flavor, and stories shared with friends and family.
I started Pine & Smoke to connect with people who love good food, the outdoors, and authentic storytelling. Whether you’re here for the recipes, the adventures, or just a little escape into the Maine woods, you’re in the right place.
