Pitstead BBQ: Pit Log & Recipe

Pitstead is a digital pit book for low-and-slow barbecue. Log the cut, the rub, the wood, and the temperature curve for every cook — rate the result, and let your best cooks become the plan for the next one. PLAN A COOK Set the cut, weight, rub, wood, smoker, and target temperatures. Pick a desired serve time and Pitstead calculates when to light the smoker, working backward from cook time, rest time, and a setup buffer. "Repeat my best" pulls in a past top-rated cook's plan so you don't have to remember what worked. LOG THE COOK Timestamped pit and internal-meat readings build a temperature-over-time chart as you go, with the stall — that mid-cook plateau every brisket hits — highlighted automatically once there's enough data to call it. REMEMBER WHAT WORKED Rate every finished cook 1–5 stars, attach photos, and add notes. Browse rating trends, cuts, and woods over time so the next cook starts from what actually worked, not a guess. RUN SHEETS & PIT REPORTS Generate a printable run sheet before a cook and a pit report after — temperature curve, timeline, rating, photos, and notes, ready to print or share. BUILT-IN RECIPE BOX Eight classic rub and sauce recipes out of the box, plus room for your own. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything runs on your device. No account, no analytics, no ad trackers, no data collected about you. One tap deletes everything, permanently, whenever you want. FREE TO START Log up to 15 cooks and 15 custom recipes for free, with full temperature charting, "Repeat my best," reminders, and analytics. A single one-time purchase — no subscription — removes the caps and unlocks run sheet and pit report PDF exports. Pitstead logs what you did and what you measured, in your own numbers — it's a record, not a food-safety authority. It doesn't tell you a safe minimum internal temperature and isn't a substitute for USDA or local food-safety guidance.
