Pink butchers paper safe to use in ninja?

[@Dive-Bar-Casanova]

With the Ninja outdoor; 185F is the magic number for smoke flavor and a smoke ring for at the least the first 3 hours. Spraying the meat both pork and/or beef every 30 minutes with water enhances the smoke flavor permeating the meat more. I have stick smokers and the Ninja outdoor. Consider using mostly cherry wood. Also, Pecan shell pellets, not the wood but pellets made from the pecan shell give amazing results too. It's what the pro competitors use.

[@johnjackson3349]

Are you saying set the cook temp at 185F?

[@joshdavies8727]

My ninja doesn't go that low? 185 f on smoker

[@joshdavies8727]

I'm reading up itsais should go lower but mine won't go lower than 120celcius

[@ericpb6589]

I am joining the crowd looking for a clarification re. your writing "185F is the magic number for smoke flavor". By "185°F" (or 85°C), are you referring to the temperature inside the Ninja Woodfire OR the target temperature inside the Brisket ? Asking for a friend 😎

[@rb666-33]

Looks like your full if crap since you never replied

[@GoMathewVideo]

I love the honesty in your videos! The way you cook doesn't make me feel like I am being talked down to but instead being helpfully informed by the average person. I am super impressed by the quality of the Ninja it is impressive that this machine can cook so well even next to high end pellet grills.

[@CookingWithCJ]

I appreciate that!

I just got my Ninja WFG, I made Chicken wings, and OMGOSH, they were perfection ! Who cares about smoke rings when it tastes like it’s got a smoke ring! I am an avid smoker & well seasoned Chef. I love this thing❤️🥩

[@CookingWithCJ]

Right on! Thank you!

[@bradleypham]

Don't know if it's been mentioned before but you don't have to turn off the grill to get the pellets to ignite. You can just press and hold the smoke button for a few seconds until that flame icon pulses.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Yep! This was one of my first videos on the woodfire, since been corrected. thanks

[@StingerDave]

It would seem the first thing Ninja needs to do is double or triple the hopper for the pellets. Oh and the other thing they need to do is not tell customers that they need to ONLY USE THEIR pellets!! All that does is turn off the customer. Great job of doing the videos they are well done and show what a person should do if they buy the machine. 👍

[@CookingWithCJ]

I agree 100%! Thanks much for watching!

[@albertflores5356]

So can u use any kind or type of pellets?

[@frankg7380]

I used Pitt Boss wood pellets in it cause the cooker came before the sample Ninja pellets came. Seemed to work ok.

[@RMPANDA964]

To be fair, I believe all manufacturers do in a way say to use their own pellets. If anything goes wrong on the grill, that manufacturer will definitely blame the pellets. Camp Chef I know does this for sure.

[@uselessvideo]

@@RMPANDA964 Exactly this.

I have interstitial lung disease and on oxygen 24/7. I had a gas smoker but had to stop using it because of fire hazard. So i had wanted to continue cooking but on some foods i wanted the smoke profile. This is perfect for me. Just a kiss of smoke is all i need. Not to much but still getting it. If i want pit bbq or a flame broiled steaks my wife and i will go out to eat. But this is perfect for she and i and for a few guests, you just have to plan ahead. Smoked prime rib is one of my favorite meats to cook. Thank you for showing its still possible with my state of health!! Keep the vids coming

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thank you!!

[@seacadetalex]

Hey CJ just got done smoking my brisket but wanted to let you know you don’t have to restart your grill! Just hold down the ignition button until flashing. I smoked mine at 225 for 4hrs to hit 162-170ish wrapped heated grill to 250 until probe tender approximately 205-210

Thanks CJ! I’m fixing to do a 13# Prime Rib roast on my new Ninja and I’m looking forward to it. Love your comment about real expectations-We actually have a big smoker grill but it’s a lot of work to use it. I haven’t had mine long enough to use it a lot, but so far everything I’ve done has come out great and the whole process, cleanup included, has been quick and easy. And that’s exactly why I will be using it! Appreciate the thorough explanation and will be checking out your playlist!

How'd your rib roast turn out? Provide some details on your experience.

[@deliriousrobinnails300]

@@jimmatthews6657 It was amazing! I had dry brined it with Traeger Prime Rib rub and Rosemary & Garlic seasoning for 48 hours in the fridge, then just a few minutes over 2 hours on the Smoker setting at 250 degrees to an internal temp of 122. It was on the rare side of medium rare which was what I was shooting for. I wanted to have a little wiggle room for reheating the leftovers! One thing that surprised me was how very little drippings accumulated in the drain pan; there wasn’t even enough to cover the bottom! I guess the dry brining really kept all the juices inside! I double wrapped it in foil and a towel to rest for over 30 minutes and it was about as tender and flavorful as it could be! I have to admit I was a little anxious about experimenting with such a large, expensive piece of beef, but it was pretty dang awesome if I do say so myself!😂

Thanks for the video. I tried it exactly the way you did it. The flavor is there and the outside parts of the brisket were tender, but in the middle it wasn’t as tender as I would want it and I actually cooked mine an hour longer than you did. It was my first time. I still have the other half of the brisket to try it again another day.

[@hanwachtel]

I have a good sized charcoal BBQ, which has features that can enable smoking, but getting the charcoal just right looks to be a bit of a faff (I've had the BBQ a few years, but wasn't into smoking briskets then). Now I have the smaller Ninja Woodfire Grill and in watching and rewatching (and reading the comments). I am wanting to do a Pastrami (It's been brining for the past 10 days or so, as UK briskets, (even Costco ones) don't usually come 'Corned' (pre-salted). I'd like to try it on the WFG but accept the limitations with the limited time the pellets last and I accept I need at least 10 hours smoking at a low heat. Any updated thoughts...? I'm taking it out of the brine today, with a view toward applying the rub and letting it sit in the fridge for some hours.

[@CookingWithCJ]

You can keep loading pellets as they burn out. Just load the pellets, then press and hold the Woodfire button to ignite them.

Thanks bro just about to test this procedure out on wood fire ninja smoker now, I only have a 2lb brisket so will reduce cooking time but stick with same temps? This is my first attempt ever at smoke brisket I hope to keep learning and developing my skills doing it. Cheers for vid love from UK

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thanks. You can reduce the time timing, but just make sure you are cooking to internal temps. You want to make sure it gets enough time to braise and have the fibers break down so it is tender.

[@darrylpeers]

@@CookingWithCJ Thanks top man CJ. It came out pretty good. Obvs room for improvement on my end but the technique I’ll be doing that going forward for sure. Cheers brother.

[@Budvb]

How is the clean up on this grill, cooking side looks as it made bbq less hands on, but does it take 2 days to clean? I do ponder if the air fryer fan gonna work after 20 times smoking something. Those of us that bbq with real fire know of the smoke resin build up gets on everything and turns to tar. I have grill/air fryer/ baker/ dehydrator from ninja that I absolutely love. Maybe after that is retired I will upgrade to this if it isn’t to bad to clean up after I am done smoking/grilling.

Hi CJ, I watched your video from the UK. We have the Ninja produced with different temperature settings, however and thanks to your very clear guidance, I managed to produce a top-class brisket. So thank you very much for the time and effort made to produce this content, it’s really helpful and very much appreciated. Subscribed.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Awesome! My first few videos with the Woodfire only had the temps in F. But once I realized it was going to be big in the UK, I started adding C temps too. And my eCookbooks for the wood fire are in F and C too. Thanks for checking it out!

[@00zero11b]

Just got mine. One question. Instead if letting the pellets burn out and shuting it down...cant you just open the box and sprinkle some more pellets in there so it just keeps smoking?

[@CookingWithCJ]

You can try, but sometimes they don’t ignite. So if that happens just press the Woodfire button for 3 seconds.

[@BikerGeek]

Does the regular model (not the xl connect) have a setting where you can add more pellets then hold the woodfire flavor technology button for 2 seconds or so to have it ignite while still in the smoke mode? Works for me

[@CookingWithCJ]

Yeah it does. This was one of my first videos using it and hadn’t quite figured that out yet.

You can add as you go, if they don’t ignite, then press and hold the Woodfire button for 3 seconds.

I have been smoking meat for well over 20 years, big smoker big family. Normally takes 15-18 hours. Now the kids are grown, I'm old and don't really feel like going through the woods cutting hickory. If I can smoke a brisket flat in 3 1/2 hours. I would probably smoke one every week. Instead of twice a year. Like you said may not be perfect BBQ quality, but it's fast and a lot less work.

Wrapping brisket in butcher paper instead of foil will change your life. Also consider keeping your temp at 250 all the way through. Those hight Temps caused that brisket to tighten up and although tender, it could have been so much more.

I usually use butcher paper on my other smokers. But I was trying the foil because it’s such a short cook in a real condensed cooker.

I'm anxious to get mine. Mr. Fedex say it's coming. I have an electric Masterbuilt Sportsman Elite smoker that works well for briskets but it is not mobile. We do a lot of camping and I've been looking at those new little pellet grills for my RV, but based on my years ago experience with Traeger (one of the original ones) It would not hold temperature and never accurate. And smoking didn't work at lower temperatures like 250. I know I'm rambling. Bottom line if it will hold temperature and smoke in an RV setting I will be satisfied. I'll use it at home and in my RV.

Any particular reason why you used the bake setting vs roast setting on the second part of the cook? Btw you videos are very helpful 💪

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thank you. And no, just what I used.

CJ, I'm not a huge meat eater & brisket takes a while to get that quality smoke...what about chicken? I'm a huge shrimp & fish eater so I'm wondering if that little pellet chamber will be more than enough for smaller things like that. What are your thoughts?

[@CookingWithCJ]

Just did chicken breast video that dropped today and used a half cup of pellets. It was more than enough.
