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. From The BBQ Geek, thebbqgeek.com.
