Loved your video - we got the woodfired outdoor grill on 9/1 from a preorder and have been testing up a storm. We loved a Santa Maria tri-tip and found the information that you can add pellets during a cook and just hit the "flame" button for 3 seconds to get another ignite. We got awesome smoke and a perfectly cooked tri-tip using the built in thermometer
Thank you for your instructions. I received my Woodfire yesterday, and cooked hamburgers today. I put garlic butter on the bun and grilled it. Then I started the smoke. I smoked two burgers on high (400F). I added a little charcoal to the rub. Melted Cheddar cheese. Great juicy burger, pink in the middle and delicious taste. Next time I will cook the buns when I start the smoke, to save a bit of time.
Congrats on your first cook! The smoke is a little much for me, and I will be experimenting with using a portion of the recommended amount of pellets in the future. With that- if you love smoke (and smoked burgers are typically amazing) consider grilling on the low setting with smoke enabled after preheating, or a similar setting as the longer the burger sits in the smoke, the more flavorful it will get.
I've got mine on pre-order, thanks for the vids. Just a heads up - I would advise using silicone utensils on any Ninja grill/griddle plates. The metal can scratch the non-stick and I *think* it also voids the warranty.
What temp and what time setting? That is why I’m watching! This is the third person doing a ninja instruction that doesn’t tell the time and temperature. I know how to make a hamburger for the love of God I don’t know the settings for the new ninja smoker grill..!
Totally agree- Since there are not many videos of the grill being used I wanted to get it out as quickly as possible but I will do my best going forward. Thanks for the feedback!
@@GrillingMontana I just subscribed to your page so I’ll be waiting for more vids of this grill…. I preordered it but can’t wait!!!! Only you and cooking with CJ have videos out. Thanks
I tried burgers the other night. I shut the lid as soon as I put them on and they plumped up and turned in to meat balls. Could it be because I shut the lid for the whole cooking time ?
The plumping of burgers is something I haven't completely solved yet, but I have noticed two things. If the burger is cooked over really high heat, and is somewhat thick, they are almost guaranteed to plump up. All of the foodi grill products have powerful, compact cooking areas which are really efficient. I would try smashing your raw patty thinner and turning the heat down somewhat. You may sacrifice 5% of your grill markings, but they shouldn't plump as much. Having the lid closed only makes the food cook quicker so that wasn't helping your cause-
It would be hard for me to argue with you on the price because that's subjective to the person making the purchase. However, even without the smoking feature, this grill is superior for what it is. Take a look at the new weber pulse electric grill that comes dressed out at $1200+ and suddenly $400 seems reasonable.
Thank you for explaining the grilling cycle. Holly crap. We just want to learn how to use the grill and it's functions. Not telling us how to cook and your life story.
Ninja really nailed it down with this device. That said, I'll wait until the price comes down. A little bit too expensive for a portable unit.
#1 thing not to do with any Ninja product,use metal utensils!Always use plastic/silicone or wood utensils.
Solid advice, thanks!
Why?
@@roryveguilla4061metal utensils can scratch the coating on the grill plate. Wood/plastic does not.
Just received my ninja grill, thanks for the demonstration! Hope to see more demos on the ninja grill!!! I’m looking forward to your brisket demo!!
Congrats on getting your grill! Other than brislet what else would you like to see cooked Les?
I enjoy all of your demos! My Ninja wood fire was delivered today. Can’t wait to try it.
Thanks for sharing!!

That's a great tip on the pellets!

This is easier to use (and clean up), than my pellet Joe. I live alone and only cook for me.
@@bcfran3g844 My pellet grills have been quite lonely lately-
What degrees are you
Great video!!! I'm looking to purchasing one!
It's very fun to cook with!

Good call and thanks for the heads up. I've got some on order...
@@Sidoriak Absolutely!
I saw the pepper seed dance 🕺
Didn't say what setting on grill. High or medium?
Cooked on high- grill setting

@@lynnebattaglia-triggs1042 Searching right also and I found the same thing.....this is my third video where they dont give the settings 🤦
new subscriber here! I gotta have ny buns toasted as well!
Agreed - they are so much better this way. Thanks for subscribing!
It would have helped if what temperature setting was used
Why would you use a metal utensil on a nonstick ceramic coating?
Mom said I was smart. I'm starting to disagree with her- :(
Great demonstration of the New Woodfire Grill. Can I suggest getting a mic or speaking louder, the grill sounds completely drown out your voice

@@MrGuerrero929 I appreciate the follow and feedback-
I can barely hear anything you are saying
Don't use metal on the nonstick grill 😬

The sound quality is atrocious!
Hmm! Metal lifter, will degrade your plate in no time!!
How did it taste?
It was great thanks! But most burgers are :)
Uhhhgg! Man the scraping sound is horrible! Use non metal cooking tools so u wont scratch the surface.
I cant hear you...all I hear is..ssssssssssssssss...😂
You need to speak louder.
That non stick cooking surface is toxic..
I'm not sure about that but it sure is simple to clean.
Shy, $400! Too expensive! I have 3 different ninja grills. One does pretty much the same, only thing does not-smoking. Ninja, kinda got greedy?
