Smoker Matchmaker: Better Questions, Better Matches
The Smoker Matchmaker has been updated with a clearer, more focused quiz.
I added some questions, removed others, and tightened the matching logic so recommendations are based more precisely on how you want to cook, how much capacity you need, and what you want to spend.
Budget options are also simpler, including a new No budget in mind choice that lets the Matchmaker focus on everything else first.
More Useful Results
Smoker recommendations now include estimated price ranges based on the updated smoker catalog, giving you a better idea of what each option may cost.
I also made several smaller improvements throughout the Pit Planner so unit preferences remain consistent from the first question through the finished plan.
