What Apps do you guys use? bbq related

Only one I've got is the weber one, it's ok but more of a recipe book, a few people I know have the iGrill system, think maveric for the iPad/iPhone.

An app Ive been using (and not just for bbq) is epicurious

I am working on something at the moment that I think will be of interest, I will update with some pics soon.

Ive used grill timer on a number of occasions - has 4 independent timers on it

Hi

I have used a database app called BENTO on the Mac and iOS devices, that has allowed me to create a BBQ competition cooking log.

Here is a screenshot for iOS





I have also have created an iPad version and have put some more screenshots onto my blog page.

I hope this is of use to you guys, let me know if you want any help.

i use iGrill and it is a pretty good app for grilling that i have been using for quite some time now although i like going through the app store every once in a while as there are a lot of apps that gets posted overnight so i try them every once in a while to check if its worth buying full versions. I have yet to discover a good app that's really gonna last on me.

This looks the 'dogs doodahs' unfortunately although I have a smart phone....I am not a very smart user!

nice work. I'd be interested in a version for commercial BBQ cooking. The EHO WOULD LOVE IT.

As it is fully customisable it can have any data fields you wish, so if you wanted to track commercial cooks this could be done. I just chose these fields and options as it is what suited me. I will see if I can get a list up

For instance you could have fields like, cost of meat, uncooked weight, yield/servings and takings. If you use a mac or iOS devices give me a shout and I will try and get you started if you like.
