How Share The Smoke Works
Share The Smoke connects BBQ enthusiasts for collaborative smoking sessions. When you're smoking meat and have extra space on your smoker, you can share that space with others. Guests bring their own meat to smoke alongside yours. Here's how it works:
For Smoker Owners
Create Your Profile
Sign up and create a profile with your information. Tell the community about your experience with BBQ and what makes your smoker special.
List Your Smoker
Add your smoker with details like type, size, capacity, and location. Upload photos so guests can see your setup. You can list multiple smokers if you have them!
Post Available Space
When you're planning a cook and have extra space on your smoker, post your availability. Let guests know what you're smoking, how much space is available, and when you'll be cooking.
Co-Smoke Together
Welcome your guest and help them get their meat on the smoker. Share tips, techniques, and stories while you both tend your cooks. After the session, leave a review about your experience.
For Smoker Guests
Sign Up
Create your free account and complete your profile. This helps smoker owners get to know you and builds trust in the community.
Find Available Space
Browse posted cooking sessions in your area using our map or search features. See when locals are smoking, what space they have available, and what kind of setup they're using.
Request to Join
Found a session you'd like to join? Send a request introducing yourself and what you plan to smoke. The host will review your request and let you know if there's room for your cook.
Smoke & Learn Together
Once approved, bring your meat to the host's location at the agreed time. You'll smoke alongside the host, share techniques, and learn from each other. Leave a review after your session to help build community trust.
