Hey everyone,

I love smoking meat, but I have a bad habit of messing up the timing. I tend to underestimate the stall, or I forget to factor in the rest time. My family ends up eating brisket at 9:30 PM, or I’m waking up at 2 AM to do mental math on when to fire up the smoker.

Being a dev, I spent the last few weekends building a simple web app to do the thinking for me.

It’s called The Smart Pitmaster.

You tell it:

What you're cooking (Brisket, Pork Butt, Ribs, Turkey, etc.)

The weight

The temp you smoke at (225°F vs 275°F)

When you want to eat

It works backward and generates a full schedule (When to light the fire, when to wrap, when to pull, and when to rest).

I also added a Cook Log: I realized many factors (weather, different rubs) impact the result, and I kept forgetting what I did last time. So I built a logbook to save the data for future reference.

It’s free to use (no ads). I mainly built it for myself but figured this sub might find it useful.
