Cooking Fever – Smokey Grill BBQ Strategy Guide

Level Guide

Use this level guide to help develop your playing strategy. 

Number of Guests – This number can be an indicator of how much people will order and what they may be ordering.  After Level 15, a low number of guests might mean that they will be ordering multiple menu items or it could be an indicator that there won’t be enough earnings to get 3 stars unless you hand out treats or increase the price of the popular items.  A high number of guests might be an indicator that many guests will be just ordering beverages or an add-on item instead of the main dishes.

First Orders – These are the first food items that customers will be ordering when the Level starts.  There is a slight delay before the first customer shows up, so use this information to prepare their orders in advance and get a jump start on the level.

Popular Foods – These are menu items that are ordered often during the level.  Prepare these items in advance and store them on your Tabletop or on warmers so that they are ready to hand out as soon as they are ordered.  Upgrading these items before starting the level can also increase your level earnings.

Noteworthy – This is extra information that might be helpful during the level.

Strategy and Upgrade Tips

  • The BBQ Warmer acts as a food warmer when opened.
  • Upgrade your BBQ Warmer.  The last level has a cooked food indicator.
  • Food is cooking 25% faster in the red heat zone
  • Opening the Fireplace will cause you to lose heat immensely.  Use this when you want to lose heat fast.
  • Be careful when adding firewood.  Put too much in and your food will be burned instantly.
  • Upgrade Brisket and Sausages quickly.  They provide an additional $4 per upgrade, whereas other food upgrades only increase by $2.
  • The Meat Slicer is painfully slow.  Upgrade it as soon as possible.
  • You will lose coins if you overfill your Ginger Ale mug.
  • Upgrade your BBQ Smoker to L2 or L3 before Sausages become available at level 13 for additional cooking space.
  • Orders become more complex after level 25.  Begin Interior Upgrades to increase customer patience.
