I don’t understand why these Master Griller Smokers are upset. Some people cook in smaller quantities and don’t sit around all day staring at their meat!
THEY DONT MAKE EM LIKE THEY USE TOO! BACK IN MY DAY WE HAD TO SIT AROUND THE FIRE FOR 16 HOURS. THEY DIDNT MAKE NO WIFI DEVICE TO TELL ME WHEN MY BRISKET WAS FINISHED
Pretty obvious if you think about it...if they can do it at home they aren't gonna come out and pay for it.... every industry HATES gadgets that make idiots close to experts
@@dariusthorne I find it crazy that HOA is a thing Can you own a house and someone tell you what you can and can't do? Like no pets or bbqs or what colour you can paint? How does it work?
OK....You sooooo sold me!!! Just won a motorhome, and we were looking for griddle, grill, and other items! Been a HUGE NINJA fan for years...and THIS IS PERFECT!!! Been watching TH-cam videos for RV newbies to learn something, and when they see this...they won't be able to keep these in stock!!
Bought this grill because we aren’t allowed to have charcoal/gas grills at my apartment complex… This grill is perfect. Cooked steaks and sausages on it yesterday and they taste amazing. Of course nothing compares to an actual smoker or charcoal grill, but it works for me. Worth the price in my opinion.
We've started a new series where we put the ninja up to the test to big name electric smokers and sometimes.....it does compare. Go check it out! But this grill really is awesome, and allows almost everyone the opportunity to enjoy grilled and smoked foods almost anywhere!
I was a huuuuuge griller. My townhome complex told everyone they had to get rid of all gas grills and smokers. So I’m looking for an alternative that I can pack up and bring back inside as well. This looks like it’s the one!!
This is it!! Seriously, I’m impressed every time we cook on it. I honestly don’t think you’ll regret it if you are a huge griller but not allowed to grill. Get one!!
My husband purchased this because we aren’t allowed to have grills at our apartment complex either. We plug it up out on our patio and once we’re done, we bring it inside. We did purchase a cart to sit the grill on as well. Buy it-you won’t be disappointed.
You mentioned that the grill tray was dishwasher safe. Unless its different from the UK to US. The UK version the only dishwasher safe part of the grill is the pellet scoop. Everything else shows it has to be hand washed in the manual.
Can u cook as low as 225 ? Can u override the temperature settings? The ribs looked dry and I always do 225 about 5 hrs. U said 1hr/half on 250 ? The bones went pulling away from the muscle.. I want this but. Now I’m not sure about the temperature setting and it being dry..
Hi!! You can do as low as 180 and then it goes to a cold smoke function. But yes, this unit cooks things much quicker so you have to adjust that when smoking meats!
when you have a cut scene , and a finished product next to a finished machine , we know we have a staged product wach the comercials close , they are ridiculous
Hi! This is not a commercial or a staged product. Just me and my husband shooting a review video of this unit and using some footage from recent cooks. Im glad to hear they look commercial worthy though!!!
Just ordered. I consider myself to be a near pro level grill/pit master after many years, so this product will not measure up to my best efforts at home. However, I plan to take this bad boy on road trips in my Van RV where space is always a premium. My smallest smoker is difficult to take, let alone my Blackstone, Ninja Grill, etc. I have high hopes this will replace several other appliances. Thanks for the video. New Subscriber!
Thanks, we’re glad to have you!!! And that’s exactly how we see it. We normally drag around our large master built electric smoker when going on cabin weekends, but now we can just bring this thing!
@@jeepsandrvs I would love to give it a go. Need to order one and also get a cover. I’m going to test how it holds up leaving it outside covered instead of bringing it in to store.
I have this. Just got it. And, as much as I love Ninja's products, I have the 6 in 1 with the thermoprobe, this can NOT replicate something like a several hour smoke on an offset or UDS type smoker. Just look at the ribs you pulled, there was no smoke ring at all on it. What this does do is add a pungent smokiness that's acrid and bitter, and you can tell by the smoke coming out of the unit, it's just this gross white smoke that looks like cancer. You want a nice thin blue smoke which means you're cooking with full combustion in the firepit. You don't want smoldering white smoke which just produces a ton of creosote, which is what you're seeing at the top of the grill by the fan. I only did one smoke session on this with a smoke salmon, and I could already tell by hour 1 that this thing looked like a nasty tabacco spit jar. I had to throw out the salmon.
Thanks for your comments. Im in the market for a pellet smoker and a friend mentioned this. I’ve smoked a few things in the past and know exactly what you are talking about, thin blue smoke vs white. I’ve watched many videos on this and keep seeing the white smoke. I’ve been wondering if the flavor is there or basically something a person would get from a smoke tube.
@ Kenna; do you have trouble with your smoke function giving up part way through the cycle when doing low and slow, say like brisket? Pellet bin was full, had massive smoke for about 40 minutes, topped off the bin, and then at 2 hours , nada. (Trying to find a fix in the troubleshooting guide has been frustrating)
We’ve done a larger brisket. We just cut it in half and put the 1/2’s side by side. Worked great and was Smokey yummy goodness. Just FYI- Hope you continue to use and enjoy this outstanding Ninja. PS we have the XL
We love ours too, but no pellets for us. The price per bag is laughable as the pellets go poof in like 15 minutes. We just use oak chips from the wood I chop and it works perfectly. Burn longer too and better smoke.
I’m so exited to get mine. Sometimes I don’t want to load up my offset with an entire bag of charcoal. This device uses minimal pellets and is going to be great when I want a nice bbq dinner for myself.
Where does the grease go? How hard is it to clean up? Can you call smoke with it? Or do you have to have the burner on to get the smoker to work? You did really poor job of explaining this thing
HI! There is a grease pan in the back underneath the unit. It is super easy to clean up. You CAN cold smoke with it, as the igniter for the pellets isn't the heat source. And sorry, it wasnt really an explanation of the unit video but more of a how Ive been liking it. I will take that into consideration though if I ever make another review!
You really should only use it outdoors, but in a pinch I could see someone making this work indoors if you happened to get caught in a rain storm or some other freak event.

@@KennasKitchen I just received my grill yesterday. Going to test it out tonight. I'm kinda lazy and wanted to throw everything in the dishwasher...just checking before I did it. Thanks for the video review!
Hi! Its an electric grill. So you hook it up to an extension cord or directly into the outlet. However the cord is literally 2 feet long, so unless you are grilling directly next to an outlet, you need an extension.
Well thank you for the kind compliment:) I do not believe a small turkey would fit. But I guess it depends how small. For instance, I would say a 12 pound Pork Butt is the largest piece of meat you could fit since its the squarest shape of them all. If you go to the grocery store and compare the two and the turkey is smaller, then you may be able to make it work!
I just saw this for the first time a couple days ago and really wanted to know if it's worth it. You sold me on quick weeknight meals. Cooking after work is always tough when you work late
I use it every night after work and we add some smoke flavor to just about everything I cook including cheap frozen pizza. I cook everything I can in here just so I can get out in my backyard and use it. It sets up in about 5-10min to be able to throw food in to cook. It's fantastic. I've had mine for about 3 months now. Slight learning curve.
I have my mid year bonus coming in 2 months I'm going to get one of these probably the xl one. Love BBQ on long summer days but sometimes the long cooks become a chore, might be nice to get meat cooking and be able to walk away from it untill it's done.. some days I'll have the time and be in the mood for the 10 -12 hour cooks other days i might get the Ninja going and have it done quicker and not have to add coles or wood during the cook.
I just put mine together and can’t wait to see how it works. I have a smoker but sometimes I get too much smoke flavor. I’m anxious to be able to get good flavor and cook in short amount of time!
Loved your review, but have not been able to find a review of the Ninja woodier with the attached thermometer. I'm wondering about it's performance. Do you have a opinion?
Thank you:) and I have no opinion because my unit doesn’t have it…but I’m bummed it doesn’t. I have a Wi-Fi thermometer I use for all my smoked meats/temp probe for quicker cooks so it’s not too much of an inconvenience but it would be nice to have it all in one! One less thing to forget on cabin weekends!
I do ribs in my air fryer in 30 min. @ 380 deg. flip half way. just season the ribs, then add seasoned bread crumbs, let them sit a while, preheat any large air fryer, spray oil on the ribs and cook, its like the best fried pork chop. I dip mine in warm smoky sauce.
netherlands: ....................................................................................................................................... where is it????????
This is a good unit to take in your camper if you go to a lot of "campgrounds" that have electrical and water hookups (as opposed to boondocking with limited power and water) does great for making everything from breakfast to dinner. What i cant find is the baking chart recommendations and preferred baking pans for the unit. While it says it bake I've yet to see it proven.
You do need an electrical outlet to plug it into right? It's not like you can take this with you rough camping. I haven't seen the power source referenced in any of its reviews or ads.
Yeah from everything I’ve read online you have to pre-burn the pellets for 15-20 minutes until the smoke changes from white to clear, before you start to cook. I’ve also read that their pellets aren’t great so you should get some others.
No! It claims it’s strictly an outdoor unit. And you didn’t miss it, that info was just not in this one. It’s in our unboxing and initial review video! It’s basically an electric oven with an option to integrate wood fire!
You can use this indoors as well I watched the infomercial about it literally like 2 weeks ago when I couldn’t sleep and I wanted to see how real ppl with real reviews
Yeah, it’s definitely pricey compared to other small grills but it is portable and convenient! It’s also Ninja, so unfortunately they can price it whatever they want cause people buy it up no problem!
@@KennasKitchen There are nice discounts over Ninja products after they'd been on the market for a while, or during Black Fridays and Prime days. I got a new 2021 Ninja XL grill/griddle (IG601) for $149.99 on Amazon. The Ninja Foodi Smartlid Pressure cooker with thermometer which normally retails for $349.99 was on sale for $229.99 during Prime days. I'm quite sure this Woodfire will be on sale for about $250 in no time. Thanks for the video. Btw, beautiful kitchen of yours!
@@Albertojedi that’s right!! They come out with so many new products every year, if you can hold off long enough, you can definitely get a deal! And thank you so much:))
I got diagnosed with alpha-gal syndrome so I can’t eat beef/pork well no mammal.. my family are able to eat whatever but now I can’t eat off the same grill. Are there any other small grills you would recommend over this one?
Hi! Sorry to hear about that. If you're into charcoal, I would check out the Char Griller TableTop Portable Grill/Side FireBox. I surprisingly use mine all the time and absolutely love it. Its convenient, heats up quick, and only 70 bucks!
Gotta use it outside but you can't store it outside - it's an electric oven, folks. I can't imagine it dealing with rain all that well. So, where? Anyone have a kitchen large enough to store this monster? Put it in the garage (if you have one). Kick the kid out of their bedroom? Yeah, I exaggerate, but not by much. Speaking of much: Cut the price in half and...... maybe. They're asking a lot of money for a very non-essential and difficult to store device. Doesn't seem at all practical to me.
@@KennasKitchen Yeah. Electronic components (It IS an electric unit) in heavy moisture - which that cover won't block. Corrosion city. This is not a smart purchase. As an aside, the SEPARATE purchase of the cover - pretty much a necessity - is kind of a "screw you" on Ninja's part. I am not trying to dump on you, Kenna, but this product was not really well thought out. It is, in essence a gimmick that most people won't use all that much. Consider: Most people already have BBQ's/grills. Those who don't are probably starting out on their own and don't have much space or cash ($370 plus the cover!). They'd be better off on both counts with a small Weber charcoal grill or even a hibachi! For a select group it will work and probably well: People with a lot of spending money and a lot of space or those like the recent RV winner who is looking for a multi-use relatively small product they can carry with them on their nomadic journeys and set out when they get to their location. For the average home owner - or even more so, apartment dweller - I don't think so, particularly at the price.
@@Stevefor1776 We have had a Traeger smoker grill for years and it’s an electric appliance that lives outdoors and has been used in light rain. I imagine this Ninja is similar in that regard.
@@authenticvegas Question on the Traeger vs the Ninja. The Ninja is electric everything, heating elements and all. Isn't the Traeger just running an enclosed motor running a pellet hopper feed?
Like I said above! They definitely didn’t look like they were going to be good, but surprised me when I bit into them and they had a good texture! Also, I wish I had gotten a meatier rib but that was all my butcher had that day!
First Time viewer ~ Kenna your review is OUTSTANDING and Honest! You covered every question I had! Thank ~ You!!! I am ordering one soon! Thanks so much!
Thank you!! I’m glad you liked it:) The one thing I wish I had added is that you need to either order the cover or make sure you have a place to store this!
Can you use this indoors as a regular indoor grill when not using the wood pellets, and just bring it outdoors when you want to use the pellets? And do you think this smokes more than the ninja 7 in 1 grill? (When not using the pellets)
I would think you could use it inside but it would be smoky if you’re grilling something on it. You’d need a fan. But if you were using the dehydrate, bake, air crisp functions, I don’t see why things would be smoky!
Don't. Sets off your fire alarms unless you have a positive ventilation hood (damhik). Use a regular air fryer, ( we have a Ninja Foodi 0530 series) you can still do ribs and fried chicken as well other things, just not as fast or in parallel
What's the lowest temp it will go to? I was wanting something to keep the brisket warm overnight etc. Did you saw wood chips? Can you use those or does it have to be pellets?
OK it’s a woodfired outdoor grill that produces great result the only problem when you’re outdoors you don’t have a electric to plug it in WTF, if you’re in the woods you’re gonna need a generator what the hell that’s the whole purpose of grilling outdoors Not have to rely on a municipality to supply your power
I would look at this grill less like a camping grill, and more like an electric grill. Similar to a pellet or gravity smoker, and electric smoke boxes. Normally those are used on back decks where there is a power source available. I mean, you could take this outdoors, but you’ll need a portable battery box.
@@KennasKitchen Good point but they advertise it like you’re out in the wilderness and don’t say anything about the cord until they get to that setting on a deck would be nice if it could be more versatile though
There is something. So it days to turn ignition with whatever mood I chose. Then it pre heats then it asks me to add food . But I realized that most of the smoke and the wood is burned before I even add my steak . Is this how it works or am I missing something?
Hi! It should not be burning though all the pellets with just the ignition & preheat part. It will though do a lot of heavy smoke in the beginning, but turn to a whispier smoke once you’ve started cooking. This is designed so that the “bad smoke” burns off before you start cooking.
I’m shopping for my first smoker and need input. I’m a single person so I don’t need a large appliance. Would this be good for me or should I get an electric smoker? Pellet smoker?
It depends on how true of a smoker you want honestly!! If you like the act of smoking, and want to get into it heavily, even with just one person (and big enough cooks for leftovers) I’d go with a smaller, charcoal/stick smoker. If you want super easy, leave it and forget it smoked meats, I’d go with an electric smoker. Something like this unit or a small master built/pit boss unit. If you’re looking for a little mixture of both, I’d do a newer gravity fed grill, a small egg style grill, or a if you must, a pellet grill. (I don’t like pellet grills after one almost caught my deck on fire.)
Thanks so much for your help. That really gives me a direction. I was looking at the master built electric boxes but people said theirs were starting to melt and had fire flare ups inside. I like safety and the set it and forget it. Thanks so much!!!
@@Cmon_Nah123 I have a master built electric smoker and love it! Before I got this ninja, that was the unit we loaded up to smoke butts on during cabin weekends! Now that we have this, we have a little more space in the car…lol
I went to look at options today at the store just to familiarize myself with options. I don’t have a grounded electrical sockets for any of the smokers to connect to. Would that be a problem?
I don’t understand why these Master Griller Smokers are upset. Some people cook in smaller quantities and don’t sit around all day staring at their meat!

(I understand you shouldn't smoke stuff inside)
You could probably get away with it but it’ll still be smoky if your grilling something!
if you have an extractor over your cooker and with an outlet to the outside, then you're good to go.
Tender ribs that bite clean off the bone in 45 minutes is really hard for me to believe.

Still trying to figure out what you said you could fit 30 of on this grille...
Aka: Hot Dogs
@@KennasKitchen Thank you.
My question is how do you grill? Is there propane hookup, power source for electric or what?
Hi! Its an electric grill. So you hook it up to an extension cord or directly into the outlet. However the cord is literally 2 feet long, so unless you are grilling directly next to an outlet, you need an extension.
@@KennasKitchen thank you!
“We like our meat up”
She knows what she said.
I can not deny my linguistic choices
Can you adjust the smoking temp?
Yes!!
You are truly entertaining and the information you provided was excellent. Will a small Turkey fit in this grill?
Well thank you for the kind compliment:) I do not believe a small turkey would fit. But I guess it depends how small. For instance, I would say a 12 pound Pork Butt is the largest piece of meat you could fit since its the squarest shape of them all. If you go to the grocery store and compare the two and the turkey is smaller, then you may be able to make it work!
I just saw this for the first time a couple days ago and really wanted to know if it's worth it. You sold me on quick weeknight meals. Cooking after work is always tough when you work late
I think its worth it.
I use it every night after work and we add some smoke flavor to just about everything I cook including cheap frozen pizza. I cook everything I can in here just so I can get out in my backyard and use it. It sets up in about 5-10min to be able to throw food in to cook. It's fantastic. I've had mine for about 3 months now. Slight learning curve.
Hi Kenny! Can you smash burgers on it! Any flat surface?
There is a griddle top attachment you can purchase separately!!
Thanks.
Hi do you know if this is available in the U.K ?
I am not sure. It’s available to pre order, and if you click the link below the video it may show you what you need!
Can this be used for cold smoking? Great video btw! Just convinced me to buy one
Yes!! it can. It has a cold smoke function, which I use for cheeses!
@@KennasKitchen Thanks for the fast reply 🙏And oh yes smoked cheese is awesome
I have my mid year bonus coming in 2 months I'm going to get one of these probably the xl one. Love BBQ on long summer days but sometimes the long cooks become a chore, might be nice to get meat cooking and be able to walk away from it untill it's done.. some days I'll have the time and be in the mood for the 10 -12 hour cooks other days i might get the Ninja going and have it done quicker and not have to add coles or wood during the cook.
Checkout my new video on the comparisons between this one and the XL version. That will hopefully help you make the right choice.
I just put mine together and can’t wait to see how it works. I have a smoker but sometimes I get too much smoke flavor. I’m anxious to be able to get good flavor and cook in short amount of time!
Hope you enjoy! Keep me updated :)
How did you get on?
What’s the haps, Paps? How did it work for you?
Were you provided the Woodfire as a complimentary unit for review?
I was provided the woodfire, but not for review. We shot their product video for this unit! Hope that clears things up:)
Loved your review, but have not been able to find a review of the Ninja woodier with the attached thermometer.
I'm wondering about it's performance. Do you have a opinion?
Thank you:) and I have no opinion because my unit doesn’t have it…but I’m bummed it doesn’t. I have a Wi-Fi thermometer I use for all my smoked meats/temp probe for quicker cooks so it’s not too much of an inconvenience but it would be nice to have it all in one! One less thing to forget on cabin weekends!
I do ribs in my air fryer in 30 min. @ 380 deg. flip half way. just season the ribs, then add seasoned bread crumbs, let them sit a while, preheat any large air fryer, spray oil on the ribs and cook, its like the best fried pork chop. I dip mine in warm smoky sauce.
Sounds great! Especially that warm smoky sauce 🤤
Looks like a great unit and a great review!!!
Thanks so much:)
I can't wait. Husband just told me he ordered this for our camper.
Wooohooo! Congrats. It’s awesome:)
Totally caught that dick joke at the end 😂😂😂
What?! No! Not me!!
netherlands:
.......................................................................................................................................
where is it????????
This was a great review
Thank you so much:)
Bought my bed bath beyond…Never regretted
Love to hear it!!
There's absolutely zero smoke ring on those ribs. No thanks
Could you taste the smoke in the food?
Yes, you could.
the look is great, but I need an extra 10 inches in width.
most of the comments sound like they were made by ninja salesmen🙂
This is a good unit to take in your camper if you go to a lot of "campgrounds" that have electrical and water hookups (as opposed to boondocking with limited power and water) does great for making everything from breakfast to dinner.
What i cant find is the baking chart recommendations and preferred baking pans for the unit. While it says it bake I've yet to see it proven.
You do need an electrical outlet to plug it into right? It's not like you can take this with you rough camping. I haven't seen the power source referenced in any of its reviews or ads.
Yes! You need either an outlet or a portable battery box! Also if your car had an outlet, it would work in that as well.
So there are a couple ways you could take this camping!!
@@KennasKitchen Thanks for the quick reply!
Your pretty awesome. Just subscribed.
Thanks 🤗 Glad to have you!!
Could you not just cut a 15 lb brisket in half?
Alot of butts 😊 so a normal ninja machine come on now ppl
Oooh they need a second rack to double up the burgers.
Dishwasher friendly? Ninja and QVC say handwash only.
well follow the rules you rule follower
Im working on reducing the white smoke, everything ive made so far tastest of burnt tires. I might preheat some pellets as i refill the little box
Yeah from everything I’ve read online you have to pre-burn the pellets for 15-20 minutes until the smoke changes from white to clear, before you start to cook. I’ve also read that their pellets aren’t great so you should get some others.
This seems like it would be awesome for burgers, steaks, chops, salmon, wings etc.
Definitely!!
Can you use it inside? And did I miss the part about how you load pellets and what fuel to use etc?
No! It claims it’s strictly an outdoor unit. And you didn’t miss it, that info was just not in this one. It’s in our unboxing and initial review video! It’s basically an electric oven with an option to integrate wood fire!
@@KennasKitchen Thanks for the speedy reply. Look forward to more content on this as it's definitely an intriguing unit
@@artustbbq1195 shooting a couple this week/weekend! Hit the bell to get notified when those drop!!
You can use this indoors as well I watched the infomercial about it literally like 2 weeks ago when I couldn’t sleep and I wanted to see how real ppl with real reviews
Definitively, the best of both worlds. The only thing I don't like is the high price tag. Portability shouldn't be an excuse for unreasonable prices.
Yeah, it’s definitely pricey compared to other small grills but it is portable and convenient! It’s also Ninja, so unfortunately they can price it whatever they want cause people buy it up no problem!
@@KennasKitchen There are nice discounts over Ninja products after they'd been on the market for a while, or during Black Fridays and Prime days. I got a new 2021 Ninja XL grill/griddle (IG601) for $149.99 on Amazon. The Ninja Foodi Smartlid Pressure cooker with thermometer which normally retails for $349.99 was on sale for $229.99 during Prime days. I'm quite sure this Woodfire will be on sale for about $250 in no time. Thanks for the video. Btw, beautiful kitchen of yours!
@@Albertojedi that’s right!! They come out with so many new products every year, if you can hold off long enough, you can definitely get a deal!
And thank you so much:))
QVC had this as the daily special yesterday for much cheaper. I ordered one! Today is already $70 higher. Still, QVC might be way too go.
I got diagnosed with alpha-gal syndrome so I can’t eat beef/pork well no mammal.. my family are able to eat whatever but now I can’t eat off the same grill. Are there any other small grills you would recommend over this one?
Maybe a blackstone
Hi! Sorry to hear about that. If you're into charcoal, I would check out the Char Griller TableTop Portable Grill/Side FireBox. I surprisingly use mine all the time and absolutely love it. Its convenient, heats up quick, and only 70 bucks!
Gotta use it outside but you can't store it outside - it's an electric oven, folks. I can't imagine it dealing with rain all that well. So, where? Anyone have a kitchen large enough to store this monster? Put it in the garage (if you have one). Kick the kid out of their bedroom? Yeah, I exaggerate, but not by much.
Speaking of much: Cut the price in half and...... maybe. They're asking a lot of money for a very non-essential and difficult to store device. Doesn't seem at all practical to me.
Hey!! So it has a cover (that you can buy separately) which allows you to keep it outside!
@@KennasKitchen Yeah. Electronic components (It IS an electric unit) in heavy moisture - which that cover won't block. Corrosion city. This is not a smart purchase. As an aside, the SEPARATE purchase of the cover - pretty much a necessity - is kind of a "screw you" on Ninja's part. I am not trying to dump on you, Kenna, but this product was not really well thought out. It is, in essence a gimmick that most people won't use all that much. Consider: Most people already have BBQ's/grills. Those who don't are probably starting out on their own and don't have much space or cash ($370 plus the cover!). They'd be better off on both counts with a small Weber charcoal grill or even a hibachi! For a select group it will work and probably well: People with a lot of spending money and a lot of space or those like the recent RV winner who is looking for a multi-use relatively small product they can carry with them on their nomadic journeys and set out when they get to their location. For the average home owner - or even more so, apartment dweller - I don't think so, particularly at the price.
@@Stevefor1776 We have had a Traeger smoker grill for years and it’s an electric appliance that lives outdoors and has been used in light rain. I imagine this Ninja is similar in that regard.
@@authenticvegas Question on the Traeger vs the Ninja. The Ninja is electric everything, heating elements and all. Isn't the Traeger just running an enclosed motor running a pellet hopper feed?
Ninja site shows one sitting outside in rain (no cover). They made it water resistant.
Ribs looked dry to me
Like I said above! They definitely didn’t look like they were going to be good, but surprised me when I bit into them and they had a good texture! Also, I wish I had gotten a meatier rib but that was all my butcher had that day!
Is it easy to clean
The grates and Crisper Basket is super easy! The lid is not as easy.
hold up☝🏾you did not just say "glizziez"🤦🏾♂...😂🤣
It’s what the kids are saying 🤷🏻♀️
Lol to the Glizzy reference 😂 🌭
Glad you liked it!
Is it cordless. ?
No
Can you use the basic grill features indoors like a Foreman Grill?
They dont advise you to do that.
LOL!!! Love your inspiration for the Nation speech LOL!! Fantastic!
I hope it left you feeling inspired! Lol
@@KennasKitchen most definitely, now i have hope!!!😉
Kenna!!! Sorry…
That’s okay:) some friends call me Kenny ☺️
First Time viewer ~ Kenna your review is OUTSTANDING and Honest! You covered every question I had! Thank ~ You!!! I am ordering one soon! Thanks so much!
Thank you!! I’m glad you liked it:) The one thing I wish I had added is that you need to either order the cover or make sure you have a place to store this!
Can you use this indoors as a regular indoor grill when not using the wood pellets, and just bring it outdoors when you want to use the pellets? And do you think this smokes more than the ninja 7 in 1 grill? (When not using the pellets)
I would think you could use it inside but it would be smoky if you’re grilling something on it. You’d need a fan. But if you were using the dehydrate, bake, air crisp functions, I don’t see why things would be smoky!
Don't. Sets off your fire alarms unless you have a positive ventilation hood (damhik). Use a regular air fryer, ( we have a Ninja Foodi 0530 series) you can still do ribs and fried chicken as well other things, just not as fast or in parallel
What's the lowest temp it will go to? I was wanting something to keep the brisket warm overnight etc. Did you saw wood chips? Can you use those or does it have to be pellets?
It’s got a cold smoke option which is around 110°. Hope that helps
@@KennasKitchen Can you adjust the degrees in 5 or 10 increments? Couldn’t find any online info lol
@@joshhawkins5696 in 5 degree increments
OK it’s a woodfired outdoor grill that produces great result the only problem when you’re outdoors you don’t have a electric to plug it in WTF, if you’re in the woods you’re gonna need a generator what the hell that’s the whole purpose of grilling outdoors Not have to rely on a municipality to supply your power
I would look at this grill less like a camping grill, and more like an electric grill. Similar to a pellet or gravity smoker, and electric smoke boxes. Normally those are used on back decks where there is a power source available.
I mean, you could take this outdoors, but you’ll need a portable battery box.
@@KennasKitchen Good point but they advertise it like you’re out in the wilderness and don’t say anything about the cord until they get to that setting on a deck would be nice if it could be more versatile though
There is something. So it days to turn ignition with whatever mood I chose. Then it pre heats then it asks me to add food . But I realized that most of the smoke and the wood is burned before I even add my steak . Is this how it works or am I missing something?
Hi! It should not be burning though all the pellets with just the ignition & preheat part. It will though do a lot of heavy smoke in the beginning, but turn to a whispier smoke once you’ve started cooking. This is designed so that the “bad smoke” burns off before you start cooking.
Finally..."George Formen"gets his ass kicked!
Yeah! Get outta here George!
I’m shopping for my first smoker and need input. I’m a single person so I don’t need a large appliance. Would this be good for me or should I get an electric smoker? Pellet smoker?
It depends on how true of a smoker you want honestly!! If you like the act of smoking, and want to get into it heavily, even with just one person (and big enough cooks for leftovers) I’d go with a smaller, charcoal/stick smoker. If you want super easy, leave it and forget it smoked meats, I’d go with an electric smoker. Something like this unit or a small master built/pit boss unit. If you’re looking for a little mixture of both, I’d do a newer gravity fed grill, a small egg style grill, or a if you must, a pellet grill. (I don’t like pellet grills after one almost caught my deck on fire.)
Thanks so much for your help. That really gives me a direction. I was looking at the master built electric boxes but people said theirs were starting to melt and had fire flare ups inside. I like safety and the set it and forget it. Thanks so much!!!
@@Cmon_Nah123 I have a master built electric smoker and love it! Before I got this ninja, that was the unit we loaded up to smoke butts on during cabin weekends! Now that we have this, we have a little more space in the car…lol
@@Cmon_Nah123 this one is definitely easy and set it and forget it. Also shorter cook times cause of how compact the unit is!
I went to look at options today at the store just to familiarize myself with options. I don’t have a grounded electrical sockets for any of the smokers to connect to. Would that be a problem?
I found the 30 min time on the frozen wings are 30 actually the correct time i think you didnt see that time on the frozen chart.
Sweet! Thanks for sharing:)
