## What is BBQ Geek?

Recipes tell you how. BBQ Geek tells you when.

Enter the weight, your smoker temperature and when you want to eat. The app works backwards and gives you a complete cook timeline: when to light the smoker, when the meat goes on, when to wrap, when it should be probe tender, and when to slice. No more guessing at 4 AM.

FOUR CALCULATORS
• Brisket Cook Time. Packer or flat, any smoker temp, with or without a wrap.
• Brisket Cook & Hold. Finish early and hold it sous vide until an exact serving time.
• Rib Cook Time. Baby backs, St. Louis or spares. 3-2-1, short wrap or no wrap, plus when to spritz and sauce.
• Pulled Pork Cook Time. Bone-in or boneless, one butt or six.

The math is not a straight "hours per pound" guess. Cook time scales with thickness, not weight, so a 16 lb packer does not take twice as long as an 8 lb flat. Every estimate comes with an honest range, and a buffer you control.

BBQ GEEK PRO (one-time purchase)
• Cook alerts. A lock-screen notification at every step of your timeline, with a 15-minute heads-up before each one.
• Works overnight. Time-sensitive alerts break through Sleep Focus for the 3 AM wrap.
• The app remembers the cook you are planning between launches.

All four calculators are free. Everything runs on your phone: no account, no sign-in, no ads, no tracking, and it works with no signal at the smoker.
