01 / INPUTS
Plan the cook you are actually doing
Start from the food, weight, cooker, pit target and optional serving time. Reusable profiles speed up the next plan without changing older records.
PLAN WITH EVIDENCE
BBQ Replay keeps the baseline, selected history and bounded adjustments visible. You can use the recommendation or record a different starting duration without rewriting what the app originally suggested.

THE USEFUL PARTS
01 / INPUTS
Start from the food, weight, cooker, pit target and optional serving time. Reusable profiles speed up the next plan without changing older records.
02 / HISTORY
Use all eligible history, ignore it or select the completed cooks that provide relevant evidence for this plan.
03 / DECISION
The initial estimate and your accept or override decision stay with the cook, separate from later phase edits and live updates.
FIELD NOTES
Serving time is the fixed point your guests notice. The rest of the timeline should work backward from that moment while keeping uncertainty visible.
START WINDOW
Add the intended rest or hold, the expected cooking phases and setup time before choosing a start. A range is more honest than a promise because weather, fuel, equipment and the food itself can change the pace.
COMPARABLE HISTORY
A completed cook is useful when its food, weight, equipment or pit target makes it relevant. BBQ Replay lets you select those records explicitly, so an unrelated fast cook does not quietly pull the new estimate in the wrong direction.
FIRST DECISION
If experience tells you to start earlier or later, record that choice without replacing the advisory estimate. History then shows the original recommendation, your decision and the actual result as separate facts.
The result is a planning record you can revisit, not a countdown that hides how it was made.
COOKING BOUNDARY
Time and temperature guidance is advisory. Verify food safety and doneness independently using appropriate guidance, your equipment, and your own judgement.
