Last updated: July 9, 2026

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of WildSmoked.com (“WildSmoked,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

Educational content only

WildSmoked provides BBQ, smoking, outdoor cooking, recipe, tool, and gear information for general educational and entertainment purposes. Content on this site is not professional culinary, nutrition, medical, legal, fire-safety, or food-safety advice.

Food safety and cooking responsibility

You are responsible for safely preparing, storing, cooking, and serving food. Always use a reliable thermometer, follow manufacturer instructions for your smoker or grill, follow local fire rules, and consult current food-safety guidance from appropriate authorities. Recipes, calculators, and estimated cook times are planning aids only. Actual cooking times vary by equipment, weather, meat thickness, airflow, fuel, altitude, and other conditions.

Outdoor cooking and fire risk

Grills, smokers, charcoal, pellets, wood, propane, grease, and open flames can be dangerous. Use cooking equipment outdoors in safe, ventilated areas as directed by the manufacturer. Keep children, pets, flammable materials, and structures away from heat sources. WildSmoked is not responsible for injury, property damage, foodborne illness, fire, smoke damage, or other losses related to your use of cooking equipment or information from this site.

Use of tools and calculators

WildSmoked tools are provided for convenience. Results are estimates and should not replace judgment, thermometer readings, food-safety guidance, or manufacturer instructions. You should verify all calculations before relying on them.

Affiliate links, advertising, and sponsored content

WildSmoked may earn money through advertising, affiliate links, sponsored content, digital products, or partnerships. We try to clearly identify affiliate relationships and sponsored material where appropriate. See our Affiliate Disclosure for more information.

If you send recipe ideas, feedback, corrections, photos, product suggestions, or other material, you grant WildSmoked permission to review, store, edit, and use that material for site operations and content improvement. Do not submit anything you do not have the right to share.
