Terms of Service

Informational Use Only

Pitmaster Tools provides barbecue timing estimates, serving-size calculations, and general cooking references for informational and educational purposes only. Calculator outputs are estimates only and are not professional culinary, food safety, nutritional, medical, or legal advice.

You are solely responsible for verifying doneness, food safety, and serving suitability with appropriate tools, including a calibrated thermometer and your own judgment.

No Warranty

Pitmaster Tools is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not warrant that the calculator will always be accurate, complete, current, uninterrupted, secure, or suitable for your particular cook, equipment, altitude, weather conditions, or food-handling circumstances.

Actual cook time and meat yield can vary materially based on cut shape, grade, pit performance, weather, humidity, wrapping decisions, carryover cooking, rest time, and operator technique.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Pitmaster Tools and its owners, operators, and contributors will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages arising out of or related to your use of the site, reliance on calculator outputs, advertising content, or inability to use the site.

This limitation applies even if a possible loss or injury was foreseeable. Your sole remedy for dissatisfaction with the site is to stop using it.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to misuse Pitmaster Tools, including by attempting to disrupt the site, introducing malicious code, scraping the site in abusive ways, interfering with other users, violating applicable law, or using the service for fraudulent or misleading purposes.

You may not represent Pitmaster Tools outputs as guaranteed results or professional advice, and you may not use the site in a way that infringes the rights of others.

Third-Party Advertising and Links

Pitmaster Tools may display third-party advertising, including Google AdSense ads, and may link to third-party websites or services. Those third parties operate under their own terms and privacy practices, and Pitmaster Tools is not responsible for their content, claims, availability, or policies.

The presence of advertising or external links does not constitute an endorsement or guarantee of any advertiser, product, or service.

Changes to the Site and Terms

Pitmaster Tools may update, suspend, or discontinue features at any time without notice. We may also revise these Terms of Service periodically. Continued use of the site after revised terms are posted means you accept the updated terms.

Governing Law

These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of Virginia, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
