Cook Cards is for the long days at the smoker. Log the cook while it happens, share it as a card when it is done, and let anyone who sees the card run the same cook on their own pit.

Log the cook

Weight, pit temperature, the wrap, the stall, the pull: logged as they happen, with the weather if you let the app read it or typed in if you prefer. Rate the result and the cook becomes part of what your pit knows about itself.

Share the card

A finished cook becomes a card for chats and social. The card image carries a QR code, and the link carries the whole cook, so a screenshot reposted anywhere can still be opened and cloned, offline, with no server behind it and no account.

Clone it to your pit

Tap a card and it becomes a plan for your smoker. The translation from one pit to another is a physical model (weight, pit temperature, the character of the pit, and the stall as its own term) that every pit calibrates from its own rated cooks. The more cooks you rate, the better the plan fits. Cloning a shared card is always free.

Yours, on your iPhone

No account, no server. The cook lives on your phone, and a shared card contains only what you chose to put on it.

Questions about Cook Cards

Does cloning a cook need the internet?

No. The whole cook travels inside the link in the card's QR code, so a screenshot of a card can be opened and cloned offline. There is no server to look it up on.

Will a brisket plan from someone else's smoker work on mine?

It is translated for your pit. Each smoker calibrates a physical model from its own rated cooks, so a cook logged on an offset gets adjusted for a kamado or a pellet grill rather than copied blindly.
