BBQAdvisor

It's hour six. The brisket has been stuck at 160°F. Is something wrong?

No — that's the stall, and BBQAdvisor is the app that tells you so.

BBQAdvisor is a smoking coach for low-and-slow cooks: plan the cook before you light the smoker, check in when the probe has you second-guessing, and find out afterward why it came out the way it did.

PLAN YOUR COOK — FREE, INSTANT, UNLIMITED
Pick your cut, enter the size, tell us when you want to eat. You get the full plan on one screen, instantly:
• A backwards-planned timeline — when to season, when the meat goes on, when to expect the stall, with a built-in hold buffer so dinner is never waiting on the smoker
• Two temperatures, clearly separated: the USDA-safe minimum and the done temp where the cut actually gets tender — because 145°F brisket is safe, but it isn't dinner
• Wrap guidance: whether this cut benefits, and when
• A rub recipe scaled exactly to your cook — pick a style, get amounts in tablespoons for your actual weight or rack count
• Wood pairings, resting and holding notes, and how many people it feeds

CHECK MID-COOK — THE PANIC KILLER (PRO)
Enter your probe temp and how long it's been on — add a photo if you want a bark read. You get a straight verdict: on track, in the stall, wrap now, almost done, or done. When you're in the stall, it says so — hold steady, here's your wrap point — instead of letting you chase the temperature.

LOG THE RESULT (PRO)
Photograph the sliced cross-section. BBQAdvisor reads the bark, smoke ring, moisture, and tenderness, scores the cook, tells you what went well and what to change next time — and builds a share card worth sending.

THE ROSTER
Free: brisket, pork butt, chuck roast, baby back ribs, whole chicken — unlimited plans, no account required.
Pro adds: beef ribs, spare ribs, tri-tip, prime rib, pork loin, pork tenderloin, pork belly, chicken wings, chicken thighs, spatchcock chicken, whole turkey, turkey breast, spatchcock turkey, salmon and trout — plus smoked sausage (snack sticks and summer sausage from your kit: we predict the time to 165°F and coach the smoke).

RUBS AND BRINES
Regional and classic profiles built from the canon — Texas, Kansas City, Memphis, Carolina, Santa Maria, Coffee-chili, Herb crust, Alabama white — each scaled to your cook. Build and save your own rubs. Poultry and fish brine guides included.
