BBQ Grill Timer is a practical command center for relaxed, well-timed grilling. Build a serving-time plan, follow live cooking steps, track doneness targets, and keep multiple timers running while you grill. GRILL PLANNER Choose your dishes and serving time. The app builds a reverse timeline so sides, ribs, brisket, steak, fish, and vegetables are ready together. Live mode lets you check off each step as you cook. DONENESS TEMPERATURES WITH CARRYOVER Browse 70+ meat and fish cuts with target core temperatures by doneness level. BBQ Grill Timer accounts for carryover cooking and shows the pull temperature plus resting time guidance. Always verify food safety with a real thermometer. GRILL TIMES Use fallback timing by food, thickness, and direct or indirect heat when you do not have a thermometer nearby. MULTI-TIMER Run several timers at once for different dishes, zones, or resting periods. EQUIPMENT GUIDE AND COOK LOG Keep notes for your grill sessions and check practical guidance for grills, thermometers, temperatures, zones, and care. COACH TIPS Quick reminders for two-zone setup, lid discipline, resting, order of operations, and better prep. AI-VISION ASSISTANT (Beta) Upload a food photo to receive visual cues such as crust and grill marks. AI-Vision does not detect internal doneness; for poultry, pork, ground meat, and safety-critical cooking, always measure core temperature. BBQ Pro Season is a yearly subscription (12 months) with auto-renewal. You can cancel anytime in App Store account settings.
