BBQ Cook-Time Calculator

Pick the cut, set the weight, get the three numbers that matter: the pull temp, the hours to budget, and the rest. Times are planning ranges at the recommended pit temperature — the meat is done at temp, never at time.

Want the whole run sheet? The Grilldex Pro Cook Planner in The Pit Pass builds a full timed plan — stall, wrap, rest — back-timed from when you want to eat, for your exact cooker. And it saves your cooks.

Every pull temp here comes off the meat temperature chart — read it once and the whole site clicks. New to all of this? Start here.
