## What is SmokeChamber?

Cook something serious.
  
  Smoke Chamber is the brand-agnostic BBQ and smoking app for pitmasters who
  care about the cook, not the brand of pit they're cooking on. Built around
  a deep recipe corpus you'll actually use, a live cook timeline that walks
  you through every step, and optional Bluetooth thermometer pairing for
  hands-off temperature tracking.
  
  THE RECIPE CORPUS
  • 480+ cooks across every regional tradition: Texas brisket, Carolina
  pulled pork, Memphis ribs, Kansas City burnt ends, Alabama white sauce
  wings, Korean galbi, Filipino lechon, Argentine asado, and more.
  • Every recipe has a real cook photo, full ingredient list, and
  step-by-step technique. Pills for cut, difficulty, and style. A cook-time
  chip on every card (Quick · Half-day · Slow · Overnight) tells you the time
   commitment at a glance.
  • Sauces and rubs are first-class recipes — Memphis, Korean, hot honey,
  coffee stout, Carolina mustard, brown sugar bourbon. Add your own the same
  way you add custom cooks.
  
  COOK MODE (Pro)
  • Pick a recipe, tap Start cook. The app walks you through every step with
  a live countdown.
  • Per-step time remaining: "1h 12m left in step 2 (wrap in foil)" — so you
  can put the phone down and step away from the pit.
  • Multi-cook: run brisket + ribs + sides simultaneously, switch between
  them from the Browse banner.
  
  THERMOMETER INGEST (Pro)
  • Pair a Bluetooth probe — Inkbird IBT series support rolling out. Mock
  mode lets you preview the workflow today.
  • Pit/ambient channel + per-meat channels render on the cook screen and the
   persistent notification.
  
  SMART SWAPS + DIETARY ADAPTER
  • "I'm out of mesquite, what works?" — fast, real substitution suggestions
  that account for what you actually have.
  • "Make it Keto / Paleo / Whole30 / Low-sodium / Sugar-free / Gluten-free /
   Dairy-free / Spicier / Milder" — adapts the whole cook and saves it as a
  new variant with a suggested name.
  
  CUSTOM COOKS
  • Build any cook manually or from prompts (cut + style + technique +
  notes).
  • Attach photos: camera, library, or a Pro hero image.
  • Edit any time. Your custom cooks live alongside the corpus on Browse.
  
  PANTRY SCAN
  • Snap a label, a cut on the board, or a bag of pellets. Smoke Chamber
  identifies the item and adds it to your pantry — proteins, woods, rubs,
  sauces, marinades, produce, dairy.
  • "What can I cook?" surfaces recipes that match what you have, plus
  near-matches you're 1–2 ingredients away from.
  
  PHOTO COOK JOURNAL
  • Snap your bark, your slice, your plate. Logged with rating, notes, and
  the recipe you ran.
  
  CLOUD BACKUP (Pro)
  • Sign in with Apple or Google. Custom cooks, journal, pantry, photos,
  favorites all sync across your devices.
  
  PRO PRICING
  • $5.99/month · $34.99/year (≈ $2.92/mo, save 51%) · $69.99 lifetime.
  • Cancel anytime. Pro unlocks Cook Mode, BLE thermometer ingest, unlimited
  custom cooks, hero image generation, and cloud backup.
  • Free tier gets the full 480+ recipe corpus, favorites, pantry, photo
  journal, and 3 saved custom cooks.
  
  Built by Vintek Solutions. No ads. No data resale. No smoker brand pushing
  pellets at you.
