Are Expensive Grills Really Better?

We're putting expensive, cheap, and mid-tier grills to the test. We tested the Ninja Woodfire Grill ($300) against the Char-griller Gravity 980 ($1000) and the Camp Chef Apex 24 ($3000) to answer the question, "are expensive grills really better?"
Grills are getting expensive...well everything is, but ESPECIALLY grills. So is the new Ninja Woodfire Grill really worth the hype?

    Love it. I did the comparison with one of my other pellet grills and we lighted the Woodfire too. It's a good little cooker.

    Hezká ukázka krásného NINJA grilu také jsem si myslel že ho budu mít, zaplatil jsem 53 UDS a po 2 měsících jsem vystřízlivěl byla to podvodná cena zjistil jsem že skutečná cena se pohybuje okolo 350 UDS což si dnes myslím že na to co ten pašák umí je úměrná k jeho schopnostem ale pro mne jako důchodce vysoká. Kdo si ho koupil nelituje co za něj zaplatil, protože práce s ním musí být radost co všechno dokáže je zkrátka OK. Pepa

    I want to know what fuel was used in the 980? Briquettes, wood and lump, lump only, a combo of mesquite briquettes and pecan wood? I just can't believe the ninja could out perform the 980, the pellet grill sure, but the ninja no way.
