For the people who love both the garden
and the grill.
Smoke & Soil is where home fire cooking and home growing finally belong together.
There's something about pulling a courgette from your own raised bed and knowing exactly where it's going next — onto the coals, alongside a slow-cooked shoulder, maybe finished with herbs you cut that morning.
That feeling. That's what Smoke & Soil is built around.
We started with a simple observation: the people who care most about what they cook tend to care just as much about where it comes from. The serious home BBQ cook often has a veg patch. The keen gardener often loves a long, slow outdoor cook. But nothing existed to bring those two passions together in one place.
So we built it.
More than recipes.
More than a garden planner.
Smoke & Soil is a companion for how you actually cook and grow — not just a database to browse, but something that works alongside you through every season and every cook.
Cook with confidence, not chaos
Every fire cook in our library comes with the full picture — not just ingredients, but timing, temperature targets, fuel, equipment, and what to get on alongside it.
And when you're ready to start, our Cook-Along companion brings everything into one screen. Steps, timers, temperature prompts — in order, so you can focus on the food rather than juggling half a dozen apps.
Your garden, always in season
Plan your beds, track what you're growing, and get advice that fits your actual setup — your space, your region, your conditions. Our Grow Tracker lets you lay things out to scale and spots companion planting opportunities before you've put anything in the ground.
And because we know what you're growing, everything gets more useful over time.
From your garden to your plate
This is the bit we're most proud of. When you log a cook, Smoke & Soil checks what's in your garden. Grew your own basil? Used it in the marinade? You'll see it — “From your garden: Basil.”
It's a small moment. But it's the whole point.
Ask anything, mid-cook
Our AI coach is there when things get uncertain — when the temperature isn't climbing, when you're not sure if it's ready, when you need a quick swap for something you've run out of.
It knows your setup, your garden, and what you're cooking. So the answer actually makes sense for your situation.
This might be
exactly for you if...
- ●You get more excited about lighting the fire than ordering a takeaway
- ●You’ve googled “when to sow courgettes” more than once
- ●You own a BBQ, smoker, or kamado — and actually use it
- ●You have a veg patch, an allotment, or at least a pot of herbs on the patio
- ●You’ve cooked something you grew yourself and felt quietly smug about it
“Grow it. Cook it.” isn't a tagline. It's how you already live.
