I have watched alot of videos of this grill, there is 3 things that you can do that people don't know : 1-you can skip the preheat period 2-you can relaunch ignition of the pellets 3-you can have cold smoking by turning the temperature to the minimum

My old Pitt Boss is on its last leg and my wife surprised me for fathers day with the Ninja Wood Fire. Just received it today and had to fire it up. Through some burgers, sausages, and wings on the grill setting.... Good lawd it was good! Meat came out very moist with awesome color. I'm going to test out the other settings but so far so good! She brought the basic model which is fine with me and I just Pit it on the patio table until the stand comes. For my family of four, this cooks enough food and my daughters and wife also loved the inaugural cook in....LOL Only cons is don't leave the wood burn pot filled up because it takes forever to burn out. Guess it's just a learning curve but other than that I love this little grill.

I enjoy your reviews. You commented on the temperature probe not being accurate. I have both the Ninja Smart XL grill and the Woodfire pro grill. I have noticed that the probe is accurate on proteins that are very lean like beef filet, chicken, burgers. When I cook a steak like a ribeye that has areas of fat, the probe is inaccurate if it touches a fat area. I think the fat gets hotter faster and provides the incorrect meat temperature.

Because not everyone takes a smoker/grille camping or not everyone has a small apartment balcony but still wants to grille/smoke/dehydrate..etc. But this can serve both purposes, or just the ones each buyer needs when they need it. :) You may like banana chips at home and hamburgers away from home :) I was interested in the steaks flavor which you didn't comment on, and they probably didn't get a fair test, but this was a good 'show me' review that was very helpful.

I’m still learning to use my ninja wood fire grill. It could be a learning curve thing, but my chicken wings only tasted so-so. The wings looked like your chicken wings did. But I was disappointed that the wings didn’t have as much smoke flavor as I like. The pellets created a ton of smoke from the grill way before the add food function came on. Next I tried burgers without the smoke and again it was only so so. I brought this thing because I love grilled and smoked foods especially wings. And I have other ninja products that I’ve been happy with. The ninja wood fire is compact I have a very small yard. Its great for a family of one and very easy to use. So I’m keeping my fingers crossed for more satisfaction as I try different recipes on this grill.

The grill mode… it must be preheated to work properly. I made the same mistake (actually friends) put burgers on too soon and it took forever to cook and preheat.

As a professional chef I can tell you what your biggest issue is. When using the probe set your temperature for 5 to 10° under what you're actually aiming for cuz you're not compensating for carryover cooking once you remove the meat.

@@TheAverageKitchen works great, I use it for burgers, steaks and chicken. It has regular bbq grill grates, so you get a pretty decent bbq taste, not propane or charcoal, but it definitely is better than a plate style grill. It’s pretty substantial, so it holds the heat pretty well.

What about for the price of $399CDN?

If you need a grill like this and you need it to be outside, I'd say not a bad price. But if it's a smoker you want, save your pennies for a bit and get a small actual smoker. - J

It seems to me that the grill feature on high is Way Too Hot. It burns the exterior while the interior is very rare. After taking off the grill and allowed to rest. The temp goes up 20-25 deg. to medium well done. Overcooked. Is it just me?

My toast comes out perfect and consistent every time, and I love being able to use the oven function for things like pizza rolls and such. The Speedi though. This thing is on a whole different level of awesome. I made the Burrito Bowl tonight, but subbed out the beans for some del Monte southwest corn. Topped the bowl with some sour cream, Mexican cheese, and tostitos queso Blanco. It was incredible. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the rice and corn was cooked perfectly. Easy cleanup too.
