Tappecue is a new app & probe concept for barbecue

The next generation of backyard-barbecue enthusiasts won’t be debating pellets or wood chunks; they’ll be arguing over Android or iPhone. Silicon Prairie News writes about Tappecue, a new app in development (and on Kickstarter), that monitors the temperature of what you’re smoking with a series of probes.

Those probes then send signals to your smartphone/tablet with updates on time and warnings about whether the temperature is too low or high in your smoker. The idea is a joint effort between Three Little Pigs’ Chris Marks (this year’s Pitch winner for best bottled barbecue sauce) and tech consultant Innovating Solutions.
