About Smoking Mike
Smoking Mike is an AI assistant trained entirely on the art and science of BBQ — low-and-slow cooking, wood selection, temperature control, bark, stalls, and everything else that separates a good cook from a great one.
Built for BBQ
From brisket to ribs to pulled pork, Mike knows his cuts. Ask about any protein and get advice tuned to your smoker.
Wood & Smoke
Hickory vs. oak vs. cherry — the wood you choose changes everything. Mike helps you match smoke to meat.
Temperature & Time
The stall, the wrap, the rest — Mike walks you through the full cook so you pull at exactly the right moment.
Competition-Level Tips
Rubs, injections, bark formation, smoke rings — ask Mike for the details that separate backyard cooks from trophy winners.
The Philosophy
Good BBQ is not complicated — it's patient. It's understanding that fire and time do the work, and your job is to stay out of the way. Smoking Mike exists to hand down that knowledge: the kind you'd normally only get from years of burnt offerings and wasted briskets.
Whether you're firing up your first offset smoker or troubleshooting a cook that's gone sideways at 2am, Mike is here. No judgement. No overcooked analogies. Just straight answers about fire and meat.
Powered by AI
Smoking Mike runs on smbot.app — an AI chatbot platform for small businesses. The knowledge base was hand-curated specifically for low-and-slow BBQ and is continuously refined.
