Hey, I’m Nate Collier — welcome to Fire & Flavor Co.!

I’m a self-taught cook with a serious love for all things fire and flavor. From backyard barbecues to cast iron breakfasts, I’ve spent years learning through trial, error, and plenty of smoke.

I grew up surrounded by people who loved to cook outdoors — the kind of folks who believed a good meal could fix just about anything. The smell of the grill, the sound of laughter, and everyone gathered around the table… that’s what hooked me.

Now, I spend my time experimenting with ovens, smokers, flat tops, and griddles, trying to bring those same moments to life for my own family and friends. I love how food brings people together — whether it’s a Saturday cookout, a weeknight dinner, or a last-minute backyard get-together.

When I’m not behind the grill, I’m usually on the road chasing new flavors, learning from local cooks, and finding inspiration to bring back home. Balancing work, travel, and cooking isn’t always easy, but for me, it’s what keeps life full and flavorful.

Here on Fire & Flavor Co., I share the best of what I’ve learned — my go-to techniques, gear I trust, and recipes that anyone can make (and actually enjoy making).

🔥 Good food. Good fire. Good times.
