[@dannyhurt5773]

I think it makes sense that the oven would produce a better brisket. With the roasting pan, you could use it as a water tray to have more moisture inside the cooking chamber.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Yeah for sure.

[@boonelipsey5393]

Good to see your healing well. Another awesome video. Thank you.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thanks you!!

[@bryanreed316]

This video came at a perfect time. I just got a flat cut and this video definitely helps me with my cook.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Right on! Let me know how it turns out.

[@wudchk]

Stellar as always! Keep up the mouthwatering work!❤

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thanks brother!

[@DaveDabomb]

Nice throwdown CJ. I’m not surprised at the results! Thanks for sharing!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thanks Dave! Cheers brother!

[@chrisbarnes3864]

This is what ive been looking for. Live in an apartment with only a small outdoor deck so ive been bouncing between these two ninja cookers and couldnt decided. First thing i want to make is a brisket so your vid is exactly what i needed. Thanks man

[@CookingWithCJ]

Right on! Thanks!

[@bobbicatton]

Great throw down👍😊 I'd be happy with either one.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thanks Bobbi! Hope you’re having a great weekend!

[@joek128]

Just bought the oven and cant wait to do a brisket, thanks for putting these videos out! Also ordered the Tallow! great tip!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@JP-yl6on]

I bought the Woodfire Oven today. Your videos pushed me over the edge. Ninja owes you

[@CookingWithCJ]

Lol! Right on! Thanks!

[@Bryan-yq9pz]

Great Throw down CJ, appreciate ya.🤘

[@CookingWithCJ]

thanks!!

[@loopev]

Put a towel under those prep boards and they won't move around on you while seasoning. 😄 Been voting for you every day for the contest, good luck!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thanks! Appreciate it!

[@carloluigid2104]

CJ, you're such a good presenter/host, and those little interactions at the end with your wife are hilarious, too.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thank you!!

[@keithtyrer9201]

CJ I love your vids and used your rib techniques for my first Ninja Woodfire grill cook. 👌Perfection my man Perfection!! Got your 4 cookbooks as well. 👍👌

[@offroadskater]

The disillusioned conviction on the "such bullshit" counter to "happy wife, happy life" gave me a broad smile.

[@CookingWithCJ]

😂😂

[@ryanbruner4383]

And....TWINS! That hit a special nostalgia bone right there haha. Gonna be unboxing my own woodfire oven soon, and your vids have been incredibly helpful. keep it up!!

[@CookingWithCJ]

😁😁 thanks bro!

[@gunnarmozal2055]

love the oven content. Just got one and looking for more tips. Keep it up

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thanks!!

[@dislexicdadscooking]

Hey fella..try cutting it length wise..kinda nice you get the best of both worlds on each side..

[@melodyosborne7699]

I’d be happy to eat either one of them. They both looked delicious😋

[@CookingWithCJ]

Definitely! Thanks!!

[@lmcarley2]

Thank you, you have definitely taught me how to smoke and BBQ. If I may, this question is out of left field, but may I ask what color the paint is on the kitchen wall. Light grey is soon had to perfect and it looks great

[@CookingWithCJ]

Hey thanks! Honestly I couldn’t tell ya. The wife handles all that. It’s been a minute since we painted it. I’d just say light grey too. Lol

[@danielhausrath6132]

Nice blog I have the wood fire oven and I have the similar result ..good smoke

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thanks!

[@derrickdiehl9081]

I'm cooking a pork butt on the Oven we just received per you video doing that using the grill! Just put it in and can't wait! Thank you man!!!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Hey thank you!

[@natemr4482]

CJ the brisket looks really good i wish you good luck 🤤 with your arm i will be a member of your channel for 6months soon have a great week 👍

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thanks brother! Appreciate ya!

[@segfault_000]

Nice video! I'm getting my oven today and will be doing ribs tomorrow. Did you refill the pellets at all during these cooks? I thought the hopper was only big enough for about 30 minutes of smoke?

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thanks! I didn’t on this cook. The pellets last 30-45 min give or take, but it’s pretty concentrated smoke.

[@ducko1988]

I cooked a smaller brisket I cooked to the same temps but she came upto internal temp super quick Are you best to pull it and wrap or to reduce the heat next time? It was a little dry - thanks 🍻

[@gharv1313]

Amazing comparison CJ! Both look delicious,Ninja for the win 🤣. Enjoy Vegas and cheers brother 🍻

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thanks brother!

[@ThePekester]

Fantastic tutorial CJ. I am going to do this for our friends when they come and stay early August. What are your favourite sides?

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thank you! Can’t go wrong with some Mac n cheese!

[@ThePekester]

@@CookingWithCJ … which would be great but I go low carb, actually cauli cheese would also work x

[@tylerverdin4213]

Just use the fat trimming from the brisket to make your own tallow. Saves money and the fat gets put to use. It’s also good for frying homemade fries and searing beef

[@CookingWithCJ]

Yeah, I’m with ya, but it’s nice to have options.

[@ryanprice9238]

Hey CJ, great clips. When putting the meat back into the oven/grill do you change the setting from smoker? I’m new to this and learning how to good pieces of meat. All the best from Wales 🤘

[@Jay-sg7rf]

Need to put down a towel or paper towel under ur trays will help prevent the slip n slide.

[@chrishampton5854]

Thanks for this vid! I get my oven Saturday and I know what I’m smoking 1st! 😂 the best I’ve found is that it’ll hold a 5-10 lb brisket. Think 10 will be too big?

[@CookingWithCJ]

Yeah might be. Just depends on how it’s trimmed up.

[@causes_unknown1689]

I keep running into issues of only about a quarter of the pellets burn. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

[@CookingWithCJ]

Press and hold the woodfire button for a few seconds. It will fried them up again.

[@TKM11370]

I think the woodfire grill has too much heat coming through the grill, I am doing one tomorrow and will raise the meat off the grill on a rack with the brisket in a tray. Hope it works out OK! thanks for your work

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thank you!

[@calebbarringer3140]

Hiding mine from the wife for her birthday can’t wait to open it lol. In the meantime I was wondering is the inside of the oven bigger than the grill so I can smoke bigger cuts of meat?

[@CookingWithCJ]

Not really, I think the grill has more interior space.

[@TonyDiNatale]

Look wonderful. QQ - What is the "W" spritz you used? Thanks.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thank you! Worcestershire sauce.

[@briansegraves1514]

Hey CJ, what is the ratio of both Worcestershire and water do you use? Great video by the way, just got the wife into watching and trying to convince her we need the oven l.

[@rlarviso]

​@@briansegraves1514look at 2:52 minutes into the video he says 1 part worstershire sauce also known as W Sauce to 4 parts water.

[@rodneystewart8800]

I'm still going to try grill one 😂

[@CookingWithCJ]

Do it! 😂

[@marcg1z28]

Dang it cj I was hyped and still hyped for the wood fire grill but you did the comparison with the oven.......got my ADHD decision off the charts... Lolz

[@markhumphreys1445]

Hey CJ. Love your work buddy. Do you have a video on cooking Prime Rib in the Ninja Oven? I saw the one in the Grill but the recipes are reversed. The oven you sear at 700 to start and your video on the grill shows you searing it after you got to temp. Thanks.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Sorry I don’t. I reverse seared the prime rib on the grill video.

[@markhumphreys1445]

Thx. What is the ''air fryer / crisper function on the oven? Max roast? TIA. @@CookingWithCJ

[@bocajay7481]

Hi CJ newbie question how long do you let the smoke burn off before you add the food on the smoker setting when I made chicken it did have a heavy smoke flavor

[@CookingWithCJ]

I let it run through the ignition process and then add it when I see the clock start to count down.

[@bocajay7481]

@@CookingWithCJ thanks when you making the brisket how many times do you fill the smoke hopper

[@CookingWithCJ]

@@bocajay7481 just the one time.

[@bocajay7481]

@@CookingWithCJ thanks your videos have been very helpful

[@JP-yl6on]

@@CookingWithCJhave you tried adding more than once for a smokier flavor or thicker smoke ring?

[@stevemabus5294]

Would it not have been a better test to cut the original piece longway so both had the flat and point ?

[@FishmacFLTRU]

Not gonna lie, those look delicious.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thank you!

[@rogertruesdale664]

Did you have temp on 250 the whole cook?? ✌️

[@CookingWithCJ]

yes i did.

[@aldotheapache9951]

I have the Ninja oven and I just don’t see any way a brisket can fit. It seems cutting in half is the only way to get it in there. Do you have any suggestions on how to cut in half? Like which end do you think would be better? The dinosaur head or the flat? 😂

[@CookingWithCJ]

I like the dinosaur head better. Lol. It’s the point part of the brisket.

[@derekdurst9984]

How is a comparison of a point cut to a flat cut accurate??? Apples and oranges...!!!

[@CookingWithCJ]

There was flat and point on both. I said straight away this isn’t a scientific video. It’s accurate enough for me.

[@gdog4216]

So, how long did you cook it before putting it in aluminum foil? Great video!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Took about an hour if I remember right. Thanks!!

[@gdog4216]

@@CookingWithCJ well I totally messed that up. Its been cooking for about 3 hours now

[@CookingWithCJ]

@@gdog4216check your internal temps, if it’s hit like 170-180 internal, pull it and wrap it.

[@dontew90]

Oven or XL grill? Which 1 overall would you pick

[@CookingWithCJ]

The XL grill. More versatile.

[@dontew90]

@CookingWithCJ Bet, would you say XL or Regular? Last question I promise lol

[@CookingWithCJ]

@@dontew90XL for sure

[@IvanGreguricOrtolan]

For a moment I heard "1 part W40 1 part water"

[@hardtimes4521]

Is it only for outdoors, because of the smoke?

[@CookingWithCJ]

Yeah I only use it outdoors

[@mollydepue]

I JUST CAN'T DECIDE WHICH ONE TO BUY!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Get both! Link's in the description! LOL!!

[@Robert-Harleyville]

Mmmmmmmm, Both of those briskets looked delicious. But I'll stick with my woodfire grill. Try not to burn up in the I.E. and take care with the mechanical arm.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thanks brother! Cheers

[@DK-pr9ny]

Not much of a smoke ring. How many times did you refill the pellets?

[@IAmTheGlovenor]

Its weird people still care about the smoke ring when it has nothing to do with the flavor.

[@LongsQuest]

Hey CJ !!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Hey Skip!

[@JoshandBabe]

Squeeze the juicy - oh yessssss 🎉 Good video beautiful- Mrs CJ approves of the oven

seam has not entirely rendered, could you slow it down and leave it there for longer?

[@CookingWithCJ]

Yes definitely

[@Jaytraveller1992]

My smokebox is letting Smoke out. Somethings wrong wirh the circulation ? The smoke is not coming out in the back 😐

[@CookingWithCJ]

Might want to check with Ninja on that one.

[@countycitybeach]

Is that the pizza oven?

[@CookingWithCJ]

Yes it is

Can you do some chicken wings in the oven please

Hey bud you need to reverse your camera set up get the camera outside facing in cause you got super bad shadow going on. Great video but the darkness on the stars of the video the grill and oven is horrible

Do a turkey in the oven

[@CookingWithCJ]

It’s hard to find a small enough one to fit.

[@carlobella1850]

@@CookingWithCJ it says up to 12 pounds I’ve seen even 9 pounds?

[@CookingWithCJ]

@@carlobella1850I haven’t found one that small, but I haven’t been looking either. I feel like the oven is too small and the top of the bird will burn. Check out Maddie and Kiki on KZbin, they did a turkey in the oven last week I think.

@@CookingWithCJ so I just watched it and that’s a really big turkey lol I meant in the oven not the grill! I think I think 9 pounds will fit..
