BBQ Tracker

As an avid BBQer I realized I needed a way other than google sheets or excel to track all my smoke sessions. I frequently found myself caught up in the caring of the meat during a session to remember to record. So I created this app to keep track of my bbq and more specifically, brisket sessions. In the future I will be incorporating a Raspberry Pi w/ WiFi, thermocouple, and setting up an API to automatically record the temperature from the smoker

to do

add rating system to newsmoke, require before finish add search or filter capabilities add validation, or check null/not null fields

MVP

• save BBQ sessions
• Authentication/users
• Profile to view all sessions
• Search
• Validation for new sessions

Getting Started

Has not been deployed

• Starting development server

# smoker_tracker/smoker_tracker/
python manage.py runserver

• Starting front-end

// /smoker_tracker/smoker_tracker/frontend/src/
yarn start

Prerequisites

• A Smoker ex. 18" Weber Smokey Mountain

To contribute:

• Understanding of Python, Django, and/or React

Installing

1. Fork or Clone

2. Start your virtual environment

Using virtualenv I use the following command because of a virtualenv bug where I have to specify python3 when creating the env

virtualenv -p python3 envname

2. Installing dependancies

# /smoker_tracker/smoker_tracker
pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Database Settings In smoker_tracker/settings.py modify the database settings to match your Postgres database.

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
      'ENGINE' : 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
      'NAME' : 'smoker_db',
      'USER': 'smoker_admin',
      'PASSWORD': 'smoker_password',
      'HOST': 'localhost',
      'PORT': ''
    }
}

End with an example of getting some data out of the system or using it for a little demo

Dev Notes

To go back and do:

1. validation for all fields or check for fields for completing info form.

2. fuel source in form field

3. newsmoke setup and input saves even if person leaves, refreshes, closes window

4. When making new col, validator if same time, then reject

5. newSmokeInfo Timepicker child div.timePicker needs to have width 100%. Have to style in child element, potentially use radium.
