BBQ Captain: Smoker Timer

BBQ Captain is the smart way to smoke meat on a home smoker, pellet, electric, or offset. It plans your cook backward from the moment you want to serve, then acts as an adaptive pitmaster's assistant while you cook: re-projecting the finish time from your real temperature readings, catching the stall, and telling you exactly when to wrap, pull, and rest.

Because a great smoke is governed by internal meat temperature, not the clock.

PLAN BACKWARD FROM DINNERTIME Tell BBQ Captain your cut, weight, and when you want to eat. It calculates exactly when to put the meat on — accounting for cook time, the stall, rest, and a safety buffer — plus a prep checklist for the night before and morning of.

ADAPTS TO YOUR REAL COOK Log a temperature and BBQ Captain re-projects the finish from the actual rate of climb. It tells you whether you're on track, ahead, or running late for your serve time, so you can adjust before it becomes a problem.

CATCHES THE STALL When the meat plateaus in the stall zone, BBQ Captain detects it and prompts you to wrap — so you push through and stay on schedule.

NEVER MISS A STEP Optional local reminders for when to put it on, spritzing, approaching wrap and target temps, "pull it now," and a rest timer at the end.
