[@blueamnesia2751]

[@CookingWithCJ]

[@ouchis91950]

Thanks for the video!! Looks epic, do tou like it this style more than the version you did last time?

[@natemr4482]

The turkey 🦃 looks really good brother CJ have a great week 👍

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thanks Nate! Have a good one!

[@MsSweetlandofliberty]

Thanks CJ - going to pull my turkey out of the freezer and give it a try!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Right on! That’s awesome!

[@aaroncunningham3423]

Big shoutout to CJ love your content bro. Inspired me to get my woodfire XL. I’m doing a practice run today for my thanksgiving turkey. Will try to post my results 🔥🦃

[@CookingWithCJ]

Awesome bro, can't wait to see how it turns out!

[@kci517]

Great vid. Thanks CJ

[@CookingWithCJ]

Appreciate it!

[@kmamos1]

What would be the best way or when would you add root veggies with this…at the beginning of the cook, in the middle, or separate from the cook/smoke on the ninja?

[@leadfoot1229]

Thank you CJ I bought the Woodfield XL and really want to smoke a turkey. This is just what I needed. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.🦃

[@CookingWithCJ]

Awesome! Thank you. Happy Thanksgiving

[@smokingtarheel3003]

That is a beautiful bird. You are a turkey ninja for sure! I'm going to try the compound butter method under the skin. I always enjoy your show!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thanks! You are gonna love it!

[@braden1edwards]

Thanks for this!!

[@CookingWithCJ]

You got it!

[@juliocesarfilho4905]

lookin good bro! Keep it coming!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thank you!

[@earlbinder67]

Yum Yum!! Great video, CJ! What seasoning did you use?

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thank you sir!

[@brendabowles8828]

That turkey looks so good I'll have to try this. Hope you have a happy Thanksgiving God Bless❤❤❤❤

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thank you so much! Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

[@dianacollantes9619]

Thanks CJ! you make me actually use and love my woodfire Ninja! Question- do the pellets have to be restocked through out the whole process? I feel my pellets last for only 30'. thanks!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thank you! I usually only use one cup of pellets.

[@IAmTheGlovenor]

How come you don't use the 2 probes that came with the unit? They've been shown to be accurate. And the unit would probably adjust better to the results it's receiving from the probes

[@CookingWithCJ]

They work fine, but I prefer my Thermopro products.

[@smokineagle1]

What size or weight of the turkey? Thanks

[@CookingWithCJ]

It was just shy of 12 lbs.

[@SelenaSangMusic]

I'm too chicken to spatchcock a turkey LOL. I have a bunch of turkey drumsticks though that I want to smoke tomorrow. Would I keep the temp at 350 and pull it at 160 or is it longer for legs?

[@CookingWithCJ]

I’d go a bit longer for the legs. I like to take them to 175 or so.

[@chrishampton5854]

Would this be about the same for the woodfire oven?

[@CookingWithCJ]

Yessir

[@chrishampton5854]

Awesome! Been loving your videos to really help with my woodfire oven!

[@risasklutteredkitchen1293]

I’m going to smoke a 7 lb turkey breast. How long should I smoke it and at what temp?? I know how long to smoke turkey wings but not a bone-in breast. BTW I do have a Meater probe.

[@CookingWithCJ]

I just did a bone in turkey breast video a couple weeks ago. Check it out! Thanks!

[@karenjohnson8415]

The thought of spatchcocking the bird scares me a little. I don’t have the tools I need, and I can see myself making a total mess of it. I won’t try it for Thanksgiving because I stuff my turkey with my delicious cornbread sausage dressing. I will try smoking a small turkey at some point.

[@CookingWithCJ]

All good, I get it. It would just have to be a small bird. There isn’t a lot of clearance in there.

[@sandybeach7009]

Ask your local supermarket. I live in Northern California and Raley's meat department will cut to order

[@Sentone1000]

lol "No tree fiddy for you!" as Chef's dad would say from South Park lol sorry couldnt resist but the turkey looks good though CJ

[@CookingWithCJ]

😂😂 Thanks bro!

[@Sentone1000]

@@CookingWithCJ you're welcome 🤣

[@daddydutchbbq]

Good afternoon you beautiful b@stard ! That’s a bird I’d devour! That compound butter had to be amazing! I know that USS Bird Shake flavored that bird ! Great cook brother !

[@CookingWithCJ]

Yessir! Love being a beautiful bastard!

[@karlkrasnowsky3895]

Once again another whole turkey that wouldn't fit 😢 Wow even a 12# won't fit. Maybe not spatchcocking it may fit? If not too high?

[@MattEnglish-uu6wv]

That is what i was wondering how many pounds will fit thanks for clearing that up.

[@CookingWithCJ]

I’d keep it to 10-12 lbs. mine barely didn’t fit. Didn’t take much to chop the knuckles off.
