Pit Pals vs Phatt Matt's

Better barbecue starts with remembering what worked. Pit Pals is a free barbecue planner, cook tracker and journal, and community built to help you plan your next cook, stay organized at the pit, and keep improving. From your first pork shoulder to your next all-day brisket, keep your plans, progress, photos, and results together. PLAN YOUR NEXT COOK Build a recipe step by step, set expected times and temperatures, and document your cut, equipment, and fuel details. Stage a cook for later or quickly log one you’ve already finished. STAY ON TRACK AT THE PIT Follow your progress with clear step timers and simple start, pause, and complete controls. Adjust your plan as you go, reorder steps, and record what actually happened. BUILD YOUR PERSONAL BBQ JOURNAL Capture cook notes and photos, rate your results, and remember what you’d change next time. Revisit your cooking history and repeat your favorites without rebuilding the plan. FIND INSPIRATION AND YOUR PIT PALS Explore community cooks, follow fellow pitmasters, and discover recipes to try. Filter by cut, equipment, and more, or sort by recency, rating, and engagement. Ask questions, exchange tips through comment threads, and share your setup in your Equipment Locker. Whether you’re learning the basics or refining your signature cook, Pit Pals helps turn experience into a plan worth repeating. Plan the cook. Track the cook. Make the next one even better.
