❓ Common questions
Will this work with my theme?
Yes! It adapts to any WordPress theme and works on non-WordPress sites too.
Will it slow down my site?
No. The calculator only loads when someone scrolls near it, and the file is tiny (under 8 KB).
Can I change the colors?
The calculator uses neutral colors that work with most sites. Custom styling isn’t available because it runs separately from your site for security and speed.
What’s the difference between the two versions?
Recipe page version shows only pre-cooking help: turkey sizing, thaw timeline, and safety checklist. Perfect when your recipe already includes cooking instructions.
Roundup/guide version shows everything including cook time estimates. Best for tool pages, holiday hubs, or general planning content.
Can I use this on multiple pages?
Absolutely! Add it to as many pages as you’d like.
Is it really free?
Yes. We only ask that you keep the small “Powered by Destination BBQ” link visible.
What if my readers want more advanced features?
The small “Turkey Planner by Destination BBQ” link at the bottom takes them to the full planner with spatchcock timing, brine schedules, calendar export, and more.
I’m not seeing an HTML block option in WordPress
In the block editor (Gutenberg), click the + icon, then type “html” in the search box. You should see “Custom HTML”. If you’re using the classic editor, switch to the “Text” tab instead of “Visual” and paste the code there.
📝 Simple rules
To use this free tool:
- Keep the “Powered by Destination BBQ” link visible
- Don’t use it on harmful or offensive sites
- That’s it!
