Try the tools

Know when everything goes on.

A timeline that works back from your turn-in times using the KCBS, IBCA or MBN rules, and a cook time calculator that knows your cooker, your fuel, your cut and your grade. See the start of every answer free; the whole thing is in BBQOps.

Learn

BBQ Ops University

Free written lessons on buying, preparing and cooking for a contest, with a video library coming for teams.

See every lesson

The platform

Everything between the prep list and the turn-in box.

Four ideas run through the whole product: plan it, run it together, learn from the score, change the next cook.

Plan the cook

Build a timeline from a template, or bring the spreadsheet you already use. Every step lands on the clock, working backward from turn-in.

Cook Now, per person

Everyone on the crew gets their own play-by-play in large type — what’s happening now, what’s next, filtered to their job.

Run it as a crew

Inside, outside, runner. When the pitmaster marks brisket wrapped, the whole crew’s phones know.

Learn from every score

Bring in your history from KCBS, IBCA, MBN and BBQData. See where you finish by category against the field, and what’s costing you calls.

Recipes stay yours

Recipes and timelines are encrypted behind a passphrase only your team holds — hidden even from us.

AI Analyst

An optional add-on that digests your debriefs and suggests what to change in the next cook.

Plans

Free to look around. Built for teams.

Members and judges are free. A team plan covers the Pitmaster and up to three more.
