Backyard Pitmaster Pal vs knowyourpit

A simple means to log your favorite barbecue cooks or smokes. Are you often frustrated trying to remember how you cooked those ribs last time, or that pork shoulder for perfect pulled pork? Record you meat, cooker, temperatures, times, and notes such as spice rubs and brines here for easy recall the next time. If you are new to the world of grilling or BBQ (note: grilling and barbecue are NOT the same thing), then take advantage of the 8 most common cooks that are included to get you started: Ribs, Brisket, Chicken Thighs, Chicken Wings, Pork Butt, Corned Beef Brisket, Hamburg Patties, and Steaks. Plus three popular "smokers" that are used here: Big Green Egg, Bullseye pellet grill, Weber charcoal grill. Both lists (meats and smokers) are customizable and all recipes can be edited (or deleted) for your preference. You also have the ability to share a cook by exporting the cook's information to a text message (or other means), in order for another user of the app to import that cook into their app's data.
