Your smoker's black box.
The Traeger app doesn't save your cook history — when the cook ends, the data's gone. Smokelog records every cook to your own permanent archive: live dashboards, wireless probes, the weather at your grill, and debrief notes you'll actually use next time.
Built for Traeger WiFire grills · no extra hardware · not affiliated with Traeger
A real cook from the archive — a 14-hour Sunday brisket, two stalls, and the 300° sprint that saved dinner.
What Smokelog keeps
Never lose a cook
Cloud capture runs 24/7 — every temperature reading from every cook, banked at 20-second resolution from ignition to cool-down. No app open, no hub, no hardware.
A dashboard worth showing off
Live cook view with grill, set point, and every wireless probe on one chart. One tap for fullscreen mode that keeps the screen awake for your guests.
Weather on the record
Every cook logs the conditions at your grill — temperature, wind, gusts, rain. When the wind stalls your brisket, the chart shows you why.
Debrief like a pitmaster
When the cook ends: peak temps, probe targets hit, pellet burn, and a notes field. Next brisket, pull up the last one and know exactly what to change.
Ask AI about your cook
Connect your cook history to Claude or ChatGPT and just ask — “how's the brisket doing?”, “why did Saturday's ribs stall longer?”, “plan a 12-lb cook for 6 PM.” Your data, in the AI you already use. It reads and plans; it never controls your grill. How it works.
Straight answers
How do I keep a history of my Traeger cooks?
Connect your Traeger account to Smokelog once, and every cook is recorded automatically from then on. Your WiFire-connected grill already reports its grill temperature, set point, and wireless meat-probe readings to Traeger's cloud while it runs — Smokelog captures that stream at 20-second resolution and stores all of it permanently: ignition, preheat, the whole cook, and cool-down. Nothing to install on the grill, no hub or extra probes to buy, and no phone that has to stay awake. When the cook ends you get a debrief with peak temperatures, probe targets hit, pellet usage, and the weather during the cook, plus a notes field — and the full chart stays in your archive for every cook you ever run. The data is yours: any cook can be exported to CSV if you want the raw numbers. Read the full breakdown of the problem and the options.
Why doesn't the Traeger app save my cook history?
The Traeger app is built for live monitoring: it shows the current cook while it's happening, and once the grill shuts down, that session's graph is gone. There's no cook archive in the app and no way to pull up last month's brisket to see what you did differently. That's a product decision by Traeger, not a broken setting on your grill — owners ask about it on the Traeger forums constantly. Reinstalling the app or resetting the grill won't bring past cooks back, either: sessions the app has already discarded aren't stored anywhere you can reach, which is why recording has to be running while you cook. Smokelog exists to fill exactly that gap: it runs independently in the cloud, records the same telemetry your grill is already sending, and keeps it forever. Smokelog is an independent product and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Traeger.
What does Smokelog cost?
Five dollars a month, flat. That includes unlimited cooks kept forever, all your grills and wireless probes, live dashboards with shareable cook links, weather history, and debrief notes. Every account starts with a 14-day free trial — a card is required to start, you pay $0 today, the first charge lands after day 14, and you can cancel anytime from the billing page in one click. There's no hardware to buy: compare that with dedicated logging hardware like FireBoard, which does a great job but costs $200+ up front plus its own probes. Smokelog uses the telemetry your Traeger already produces — for scale, $5 is less than a bag of pellets, and it covers every cook you run that month.
Does Smokelog work with my grill?
Smokelog works with WiFire-connected Traeger grills — if you can see your grill live in the Traeger app, Smokelog can record it, including Ironwood, Timberline, and Pro Series models with built-in WiFi. Wireless Traeger meat probes that show in the app show in Smokelog too, each on its own chart line. Grills without WiFire (older non-connected models) have no data stream to record, so they aren't supported. Other pellet grill brands aren't supported yet. The quick check: open the Traeger app somewhere away from your home WiFi — if you can still see your grill's temperature, it's WiFire-connected and Smokelog can record it. Setup is one step: sign in, connect your Traeger account, and the next cook you light shows up on your live dashboard automatically. See the full list of compatible Traeger grills.
Can I ask an AI assistant about my cooks?
Yes. Smokelog gives every account a personal connection to AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT — using MCP, the open standard both now support. Add it once, then ask in plain English: how a live cook is going, an honest debrief of the last one, or a cook plan built from your own history — from your phone, right at the grill. It reads your cook data and takes notes; it doesn't control your grill. That's the difference from AI grills like Brisk It's Vera, which cook for you but need their own hardware — Smokelog works with the Traeger you already own. Claude, ChatGPT, Brisk It, and Vera are trademarks of their respective owners; Smokelog is independent of all of them. How to connect your Traeger cooks to ChatGPT or Claude.

Smokelog is built and run by Jake, a home pitmaster who got tired of the Traeger app forgetting every cook the moment it ended. Every feature ships because it earned its place on his own Timberline XL first — the brisket cook above is his. Questions? info@getsmokelog.com
