# BBQ Chef

> BBQ Chef is a free iPhone app for barbecue recipes and a community of pitmasters. Users write up recipes they have actually cooked, share them to a community feed called The Pit, and climb a pitmaster leaderboard ranked by the upvotes their recipes receive. Every shared recipe also gets a public web page at bbqchef.app that anyone can open without the app.

BBQ Chef is made by Techgeezer Ltd. The app's App Store name is "BBQ Chef: Recipes & Pitmaster Community".
