Why is your best cook ever still a mystery?

You remember the bark. You don’t remember the wrap temp. Stoke BBQ puts every cook on the record — live monitoring, an on-device Cook Coach, and graded report cards against your own history — so your best cook becomes your normal one.

Works with ThermoWorks & MEATER — or just the hand thermometer you already own.

Presence

What’s the pit doing while you’re living your life?

It’s hour seven. You’re at the table, at the game, or — radical idea — asleep. The old way, you’re also somehow at the pit: checking every 45 minutes, missing the fire sag anyway, finding out at dawn that the last four hours ran cold and nobody told you.

Stoke BBQ stands the watch so you don’t have to. Live pit and meat readings from your ThermoWorks or MEATER probes, alerts that fire the moment the fire drifts outside your plan — and only then — plus pit and meat gauges on your watch face. Glance at your wrist. Go back to your people. Running three proteins on one pit? Ribs, brisket, and the bird each get their own probes, their own alerts, their own timeline.

“The 3 a.m. patrol, retired.”

Proof

Could you cook it again — exactly?

Everyone has a legend. The Memorial Day ribs. The brisket that silenced your father-in-law. And almost nobody can repeat theirs, because it lives in memory, one blurry photo, and a notes app that says “wrapped at ?? — used the good wood I think.” A great cook you can’t reproduce isn’t skill yet. It’s a lucky Tuesday.

Every cook in Stoke BBQ ends with a graded report card — measured against your history, not some chart from the internet. Tap Cook This Again and the app reruns your plan step for step, then scores the repeat against the original. Cook by cook, the lineage shows your stall getting shorter, your pit holding steadier, your scores trending up. And when it’s worth bragging about, one tap renders a share card from your photo and your numbers — proof that looks as good as the bark did.

“It wasn’t luck. Here are the receipts.”

Mastery

How well do you actually know your pit?

Not the brand. Your pit — the one that runs hot on the left, drinks splits faster in January, and hasn’t had its grease drain cleaned since you’d rather not say. Pitmasters aren’t people with expensive gear. They’re people with history.

Stoke BBQ builds that history for you. Fuel tracking that thinks in the only unit that matters — “≈4 cooks left” — whether you burn splits, pellets, charcoal, or gas. A pit maintenance log with reminders for grates, gaskets, oiling, and rust patrol. And an AI Cook Coach that runs entirely on your phone — Apple’s on-device models, no cloud, no account-required intelligence — giving live tips when your cook drifts off plan and a straight-talking debrief after. It works at the deer-lease pit with zero bars, and your 2 a.m. decisions stay yours.

“Know your pit. It’s the whole job.”

Questions, answered straight

Do I need fancy probes?

No. Manual mode is built for the hand-thermometer crowd: the app schedules check-ins, pings you when it’s time, and you log the reading in two taps. You get the same graphs, grades, and report cards as the probe folks. If you add a ThermoWorks or MEATER later, your history comes with you.

Which probes work with it?

ThermoWorks and MEATER cloud connections today. Multiple probes per cook, multiple proteins per pit, each tracked separately. More integrations are on the list — tell us yours.

Does the AI Coach send my cooks to the cloud?

No. The Coach runs on-device using Apple’s models. Live tips and post-cook report cards are computed on your phone — which is why it works with zero bars at the pit, costs nothing extra to run, and your data stays put.

I cook on a pellet smoker / kettle / Santa Maria — is this just for offsets?

It’s for live fire, period. Fuel tracking adapts to your rig: splits for stick burners, pounds of pellets, charcoal, or gas — always with a “≈ cooks left” estimate so you never get ambushed at hour nine.

Can I get my data out?

Yes. Your cook log exports — it’s your data. No hostage situations.
