It seems there is an app for everything, and cooking on the grill is no exception. I recently went searching for some apps to load load on my Droid Motorola Maxx. I quickly found out there are tons of them, but, I think following 5 apps will help you take your outside cooking to a whole new level. If you find a great one that is not listed please feel free to share below.
This app has to be #1 on the list because it is so informative. It will start you out with the basics, starting out with how to light a charcoal fire and how to prepare and turn your meats. It also provides some of the best recipes I have tried. Even better then just providing the recipe, when you find the recipe you want to try it automatically makes out a shopping list. If you find a favorite recipe there is a share option that makes it easy to pass it on to your friends through email.
App price: $4.99
This app is pretty self explanatory. All you have to do is select your meat and the thickness and GrillTime will set a timer, tell you when to flip and notify you when it’s done. Perfect for those who don’t want to be a slave to the grill. Filled your grill? Don’t worry you can set this for more then one kind of meat.

From Google Play:
“The Pit Pal is an all-inclusive BBQ app for your Android mobile device. It was built with the end goal of being able to help produce more consistent BBQ for backyard cooks, competitors, as well as caterers and restaurateurs.
The Pit Pal enables more consistent BBQ through the use of historical tracking of cooks and results taking into account common BBQ variables such as the temperature and duration of the cook, or the sauce/rub combination, or even the type of wood used or the weather at the time of the cook. Tracking these variables allows the pit master to look back at previous cooks and continue to cook and tweak variables until the perfect combination is hit. And then have the data to replicate that combination at any time.

If you’ve ever run out of propane halfway though cooking and have a“standard” 20 pound steel propane tank this app is perfect for you. The BBQ TankMeter acoustically measures the amount of propane in your tank. Believe it or not, this app works by holding your phone 6 inches from your tank. When you tap the “Test” button a display message will come up saying “listening for the tank”. All you have to do now is strike the center of the tank with your knuckle or a spatula. The tank will then display the message “Reading Tank”. The results will then be displayed and tell you just how much propane is left in the tank.
