Please read these Terms before using the Site. Questions about how we handle personal data are answered in our Privacy Policy.

You wrote it yourself or have the right to share it.

4. Recipe, Nutrition and Safety Disclaimer

Please read this section carefully before cooking. Grilling and smoking involve open flame, hot surfaces and raw ingredients, so careful handling matters.

4.1 Results vary

Recipes on the Site are developed and edited to give clear steps, realistic times and temperatures, and practical ingredient substitutions. Even so, results depend on your equipment, fuel, weather, the size and thickness of ingredients, and your own technique. Grills and smokers run hotter or cooler than their dials suggest, so treat the times in a recipe as a guide and rely on how the food actually looks, feels and measures.

4.2 Food safety and doneness

You are responsible for preparing and serving food safely. In particular:

Use an instant-read thermometer to check doneness rather than relying on time or color alone.
Follow current food-safety guidance from your local health authority for safe internal temperatures. For example, the USDA recommends 165°F for poultry and 160°F for ground beef.
Keep raw meat, poultry and seafood separate from ready-to-eat foods, and use separate boards, plates and utensils for raw and cooked items.
Refrigerate perishable food promptly, marinate in the refrigerator, and discard used marinade unless it has been boiled.
Wash hands, surfaces and tools after handling raw ingredients.
Eating raw or undercooked meat, poultry, seafood or eggs can increase the risk of foodborne illness, especially for children, older adults, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems.

4.3 Fire and equipment safety

Cooking with fire and fuel carries real risk. Use your grill, smoker or griddle only as described in the manufacturer's instructions, outdoors in a well-ventilated space, away from structures and flammable materials. Never leave a lit grill unattended, keep children and pets away from hot equipment, and keep appropriate fire-safety supplies nearby. You use equipment and our recipes at your own risk.

4.4 Allergens and ingredients

Recipes may contain or come into contact with common allergens such as milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy and sesame. Ingredient brands differ, so always read the labels on the products you buy and check them against your own or your guests' allergies and dietary needs before cooking.

4.5 Nutrition information

Where nutrition values appear, they are estimates. They vary with brands, portion sizes, trimming, cooking method and optional ingredients. They are provided for general information only and should not be treated as exact.

4.6 Not medical or dietary advice

Content on the Site is for general informational purposes and is not medical, nutritional or dietary advice. If you have a medical condition, follow a special diet or have concerns about food and your health, consult a qualified health professional.

5. Third-Party Links and Advertising

The Site may link to other websites, including our social profile on Pinterest, and displays advertising provided by third parties such as Google AdSense and the Ezoic platform. We do not control these third-party sites or advertisers and are not responsible for their content, products, services or privacy practices. The appearance of a link or an ad does not mean we endorse it. Any dealings you have with advertisers or other third parties are between you and them. Information about cookies and ad partners is in our Privacy Policy.

6. Acceptable Use

Please use the Site lawfully and considerately. Do not attempt to disrupt or overload the Site, bypass its security, gain unauthorized access to any part of it, introduce malicious code, or use it to harass others or send unsolicited promotions.

Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, or any rights you have as a consumer that cannot be waived.

8. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time, for example when the Site's features change or the law requires it. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
