Terms of Service

Introduction

Welcome to SmokerGear (“we,” “our,” or “us”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of our website at smokergear.com and all associated calculators, guides, and services (collectively, the “Service”).

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of them, please do not use the Service.

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using SmokerGear, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference.

We may update these Terms at any time. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

Planning Aids — Cook to a Safe Temperature

SmokerGear’s calculators are planning and reference tools. They apply common rules of thumb to the values you enter and round results for readability, so a result depends entirely on your input and on the assumptions of a simple model. Nothing on the Service is professional food-safety, nutrition, or medical advice. Cooking times and temperatures are estimates only; actual times vary with your equipment, the weather, and the cut of meat. Always cook food to a safe internal temperature verified with a thermometer and follow the guidance of your local food-safety authority before serving.

Description of Service

SmokerGear provides free, browser-based calculators and educational resources, including:

• A smoking time and temperature calculator for planning a cook
• A meat doneness temperature guide with target internal temperatures
• A charcoal and pellet burn-time estimator
• A smoking wood amount calculator
• A brine ratio calculator and a dry rub ratio scaler
• Guides, explainers, and reference content on smoking and barbecue

All tools are provided free of charge. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time.

Your Responsibilities

When using the Service, you agree to:

• Use the tools in good faith for meal planning, learning, or personal projects
• Enter values in the correct units and check that your inputs describe a valid figure
• Not disrupt, overload, or attempt to compromise the website
• Respect intellectual property rights

You are responsible for exercising your own judgment, for practising safe food handling, and for confirming doneness with a thermometer before relying on any result.

Accuracy and Disclaimers

While we aim for sensible formulas, we cannot guarantee that every calculation is error-free or suited to your circumstances. Results are estimates based on common conventions and the figures you provide, and are rounded for display. SmokerGear makes no warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

Intellectual Property

All content on this website — text, graphics, logos, tools, calculators, and software — is the property of SmokerGear or its content suppliers and is protected by applicable copyright and other laws. You may use the tools for personal and educational purposes; you may not copy, resell, or reverse engineer them, or remove proprietary notices.

Limitation of Liability

In no event shall SmokerGear or its suppliers be liable for any damages (including, without limitation, spoiled food, wasted ingredients, or other losses) arising out of your use of, or inability to use, the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Third-Party Links and Ads

The Service may link to third-party websites and displays third-party advertisements. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, and inclusion of a link or ad is not an endorsement. Your use of any third-party site is at your own risk.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, and you submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located there.
