Plan around serving time, follow the cook through manual thermometer checks and learn from your own history. Your smokers. Your timing. One purchase. No subscription.
SmokeShow helps you plan around serving time, follow real manual thermometer checks and learn from the cooks that came before. Add the smokers you cook on, keep each completed cook in context and use relevant history when it earns a place in the next plan.
PLAN AROUND THE MEAL
• Choose brisket, ribs, pork shoulder, chicken, salmon, sausages, beef roasting joint or a custom cook.
• Set weight, smoker temperature and target internal temperature in metric or imperial units.
• Add an optional Ready for time and work backwards from a qualified cooking range.
• Start with general guidance, then see personal planning ranges when relevant history from similar cooks on the same smoker supports them.
• Choose doneness targets for beef roasting joints.
• See suggested first-probe timing before you light the smoker.
FOLLOW THE COOK
• Enter real probe readings manually from your own thermometer and add notes at each check.
• See the estimate, chart, progress and next-check timing respond to your saved readings.
• Stay oriented with states such as on track, running fast, running slow, stall likely, ready to rest and resting.
• Get optional local reminders before planned checks.
• Track more than one active cook without losing the main dashboard.
KEEP IT VISIBLE
• Follow active cooks with small and medium Home Screen widgets.
• Use Live Activities and Dynamic Island on supported iPhones.
• Run supported Apple Shortcuts to check status, log a Celsius probe reading or open a cook.
FINISH, LEARN AND REPEAT
• Keep manual checks, target, wrap events and rest timing together.
• Correct rest timing when needed.
• Rate completed cooks in half-star steps, add notes, mark favourites and keep selected local photos and videos.
• Use Cook This Again to start a fresh plan from a completed cook.
• Share a simple cook summary through iOS.
YOUR SMOKERS, REMEMBERED
• Add and manage the smokers you cook on, choose a default and keep historical context attached to the right smoker.
• Optionally protect supported cook and smoker history with iCloud. Media stays local. iCloud Protection is not live sync or guaranteed recovery.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No SmokeShow account is required. Cook records are local-first. Anonymous analytics are off by default, and crash-reporting preferences can be changed in Settings & About.
One purchase. No subscription.
SmokeShow does not connect to Bluetooth thermometers, read sensors or control your smoker. Enter readings manually from a real food thermometer. Cooking estimates, doneness targets, wrap advice and rest guidance are approximate. Always verify safe serving temperatures with a real thermometer and current official food-safety guidance.
SmokeShow is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by SharkNinja, Ninja or Ninja Woodfire.
