Free BBQ cook planner · kg and °C

Know when your BBQ will be done.

Pick the cut, the cooker and the weight. You get the cook time, pit temp, pull temp, rest, and the time to light the fire. Free, metric, made in Australia.

No account needed. Works on your phone at the pit.

Sliced smoked brisket with a dark pepper bark

Three taps, one plan.

  1. Pick the cut

    Pork, beef, chicken, lamb, fish, veg, game and jerky. 80 cuts, from a full packer brisket to a tray of prawns.

  2. Pick the cooker

    Smoker, kettle, kamado, oven, slow cooker, pressure cooker, wood fire, rotisserie or dehydrator.

  3. Enter the weight

    In kilograms. You get the whole plan: times, temps, when to wrap, when to rest and when to start.

Your plan, not a guess.

Every number comes from the same engine as the app, built from published cook ranges. You still cook to temperature, not the clock; the plan gives you both.

Plus: when to wrap, when the stall hits, which rub and wood suit it, and the gear worth owning. Save it, email it, or print it for the shed wall.
