BBQCast: Pit Weather Guide

Stop guessing how the weather will affect your cook. BBQCast checks today's wind, temperature, and humidity, then tells you how to adjust your smoker setup — before you light the fire. Every pitmaster knows: cold snaps eat fuel, wind spikes your pit temp, and low humidity dries out your bark. But calculating the adjustments by hand? That takes experience most backyard cooks don't have yet. HOW IT WORKS 1. Set your smoker type (offset, WSM, kamado, pellet, kettle, drum, or cabinet) and your setup position. 2. BBQCast fetches real-time weather for your location. 3. You get a daily Smoke Score (0–100) with a GO, CAUTION, or SKIP verdict — plus actionable tips for today's conditions. It takes 15 seconds to set up. No account required. DAILY SMOKE SCORE A single number that tells you how good today is for smoking. The score combines temperature, wind speed, humidity, rain chance, and cloud cover — weighted by your specific smoker type. A kamado in 30°F weather scores differently than a kettle in the same cold. TODAY'S TIP Each day, BBQCast highlights your biggest weather challenge and tells you what to do about it. Wind from the south? Close your south-facing intake. Humidity below 30%? Consider wrapping early. MEAT PROFILES Select your meat — brisket, ribs, pork butt, and more — to see base cook times and target temperatures for your reference.
