Are you sure you want to leave the KCBS Helper Tool and go to SaucyRossyBBQ.com?

Yes, take me there

Hey, I’m Ross

Most folks know me as SaucyRossyBBQ. I built this Helper App myself and put it out for free, because I wanted the tool to exist for our sport — no paywall, no account needed.

If you’ve got it in you to chip in, it means a whole lot. And if you’ve already bought me a coffee — thank you so much. Your support pays the server and hosting bills that keep a system like this running.

Buy me a coffee

You won’t see this again for a month. Now get back to it — good luck at your next cook. 🔥
