Free, accurate BBQ tools for backyard pitmasters.
HowLongToSmoke.com exists to answer one question fast: how long will it take to smoke this? Our calculators estimate cook times by weight and smoker temperature for brisket, pork butt, ribs, chicken, turkey and more — paired with the exact internal temperatures to pull each cut.
Time is only a guide; temperature is the truth. Every tool here pushes you to cook to the right internal temp, because that's what produces tender, juicy BBQ every time. Our recipes and guides are written to be genuinely useful, not filler.
All of our calculators, recipes, and guides are free. We keep the lights on through affiliate links and ads, which never cost you anything extra.
