I bought one last month and it is an amazing device. Have done pork chops, chicken, ribs, steak. Getting ready to do a turkey breast for Christmas. Love it.
I ran out of the ninja brand pellets a long time ago. and i found its just cheaper to buy a big bag of regular pellets, like i bought a huge bag of traeger applewood pellets for just a little more than what ninja sells their pellets for. and yes, you dont get as much smoke since they are slightly larger, but im doing a long cook, i sometimes just refill the hopper and reignite.
I was thinking that leaving the membrane on insulates the meat; keeps moisture in so the meat doesn’t dry out as easily. I’ve been pulling off the membrane but I’m going to leave it on to see if ribs are more moist.
I've never removed the membrane. Other then being in a competition I see no need. In nearly 7 decades of cooking ribs I've never had any comments about the membrane not being removed. It makes no difference to taste nor tenderness.
@@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ I don't compete, I've attended a few though and there isn't a competitor that I observed that didn't remove it. I've heard that it's removed for seasoning purposes but my experience is there's no difference in favor whether removed or not.
Great video and review, Tom! Also, wondering if you can use wood chips in the Woodfire instead of pellets? Your thoughts as well? Also, do you Ceramic coat the exterior of your grills? I just bought 3 new grills and Ceramic coated mine after assembly to help with cleaning. Hope you have a great weekend 👍🏻
Thanks for Watching MJ, I just my grills clean no fancy coatings just Gel Gloss on the exterior. Pellets are more dense and fit better in that small smoker box. Wood chips would work but I not sure how much you get in that small smoker box
Another great video Tom. Which pellet smoker do you like the best? I know you have a lot of them and would like to know which one you think is the best. I have always used charcoal but am going to buy a pellet smoker soon. Keep those videos coming because we love them!
Thanks for Watching Russell! Hard question to answer, you can’t go wrong with most of them, it’s all about features you want and how much you want to spend
Pretty impressive Tom! I've only made burgers on mine so far. I too pull that membrane off. I don't get why you wouldn't. Hope to see more cooks on this. Cheers my friend!
Got to love Pork Ribs Tom! #ninja Nice cooker. Amazing how many people don't know to pull them foreskin off, I mean membrane! Time for PAPA to make Beef Ribs! Good job on them pork ribs Tom! Nice Cooker. Need some good beans with them ribs!
Now there's a demonstration that a smoke ring, or lack of, doesn't necessarily equal smoke taste. Those are tasty looking ribs. Nice job Tom! Harry Soo has a video showing how to get a "smoke ring" cooking ribs in an indoor oven using Celery Seed, Morton's Tender Quick or Pink Curing Salt.

It's amazing the products that are being marketed these days. We're in the golden era of BBQ Tom and it's great to see you right in the middle of it!!
It really is exciting! Thanks for Watching and Commenting! It is appreciated!
Thank you for your review.
So, overall, you would recommend this?
Also, what are the dimensions of the Weber Tray liner?
Thank you.
Thanks for Watching! Yes I would

Thanks for watching Jack! Appreciate the feedback, curious as to why you would then remove it for comps?

Thanks for the clarity
What are tge demensions of the tray liners?
Thanks for Watching! Same as the weber
That little unit does it all! Ribs looked delicious Tom!
It’s impressive! Thanks for watching!
How many slabs do you think would fit on the Ninja? A whole turkey?
Thanks for watching 2 smaller racks, turkey breast, maybe a smaller bird
thanks for the video tom i'm gonna give that seasoning a try
Thanks for Watching Marlon!
Hi Tom. Could you taste smoke flavour even if there was no ring?
Thanks for Watching! Yes
No smoke ring but you can definitely taste the smoke in everything you use the smoke feature on in this grill.
Agreed
Ribs look great Tom. I switched to water as a binder and spritz last year. Easier to clean the spray bottle and you don't waste mustard.
Thanks for Watching! Agreed!
Use regular soaked wood chips on top your pellets,Bott 1/2 pellets+ Top 1/2 chips.
Looking forward to seeing you put this cooker through its paces.
Thanks for Watching! Me too!

Only a Ninja could cook ribs in 2 hours... 🙂
Lol! Thanks for Watching!
You shouldn't pour the liquid on top of the ribs washing all flavour and seasoning off.
Thanks for watching
Tom nice Channel just slow down your talking little bit I know you're excited
Thanks for Watching Dean! Appreciate the feedback, Thanks
If you want smoke ring,turn your wire rack upside,lay the ribs on it ,you have better smoke presentation.
Thanks for watching! Appreciate the feedback
