I saw one at Costco for $239 and came home to watch some videos. After watching you I am going back to get one.

Here's my #1 tip for grilling: Since it's way too inefficient to wait for the pellet ignition and pre-heating to finish before adding the food, I add it right from the beginning, so the food is exposed to as much smoke as possible and it can start cooking during the pre-heat. I've made burgers that turned out perfectly (if anything, a bit overcooked) before the pre-heat had even finished.

Waiting for the ignition and pre-heating to finish before adding the food wastes valuable smoke-infusion time, IMO. My strategy has been working well with burgers and steaks so far, and I can definitely tell the difference in smoke flavor compared with waiting to add them after the pre-heat.

Anyway, to each their own, but that's my 2 cents.

I tell my spouse to cook by watching, not by the clock. My first three, chicken wing, beef filet, and pork chops. were the best I ever made in 50 years of grilling. All way better than any restaurant. Fantastic machine for 1 to 4 people.

I've had my Wood Fire Grill now for about three weeks, and I'm loving it. My husband actually used it first, smoking a Boston Butt (he's a Traeger guy. :) The result was pretty fabulous. The BEST tip I gleaned from your videos is how it's possible to cook with the lid up. I searched everywhere to find how to best use the griddle, and didn't find anything at all, even on the Ninja website. Thanks, CJ. I'm looking forward to many hours of fabulous food on my Wood Fire!

Thanks for your no frills, down to earth, easy to understand and honest review. I was really on the fence until I watched your video. I am also delighted to find you blessed us with lots of cooks/grills as well, I'll be checking those out as well.Our complex outlawed grills last year and my fiance is ready to destroy heaven and earth because she loves grilled food. This seems like a great option. The price is steep but I think my sanity is worth at least that much.

Thank you for your great content. My # 1 tip is to purchase the Ninja Flat Top Griddle Plate accessory !!! The reason why is because of the SUPER EASY clean up. If you are not grilling, but smoking, air frying, roasting, etc. (and not need grill marks) the flat top griddle is so easy to clean the smooth surface. I use a simple wire baking rack to keep the protein off of the heat of the flat top, and let the drippings etc. just drop onto the surface which wipes / rinses off easily and not have to contend with the regular grill plates peaks and valleys. I use my Ninja grill about 3 or 4 times a week and the easy clean up between uses makes it a pleasure. So far so good that I have no scratches from the simple wire baking rack resting on the tough nonstick surface.

[solitaryrv]

Getting one of these. This was probably the best realistic presentation on cooking with this machine. Thanks.

[merrymacmurphy]

thanks for all the good info. I ordered your Ninja books too. I got my Woodfire grill on Amazon during Prime day! I cant' wait to try some of your recipes.

[gorelp]

After being introduced to the Ninja grill and finding your content, I am very happy with mine and the amazing food it can produce. Now with a family of 5, I definitely wish they would make an XL model to put on full slabs and larger quantities of meats in general. Keep up the amazing content!

[richardw]

have had the woodfire grill for about 6 months and use it all the time, so convenient and cooks very fast. food comes out juicy and delicious.. have a smoker and a gas grill but usually use the ninja woodfire grill... hard to do better than the woodfire grill overall.

Adding more pellets:

I've had success with adding small amounts frequently. If I was filling more than half, they wouldn't catch. I didn't know the hold for 3 seconds part though because I didn't read the manual. I will need to try that.

[karentompkins]

I just set my woodfire grill up over the weekend & I've used it a few times now. One thing I have noticed is the food is getting really dark. I thought I would go by the recipes in the book, to get used to using it & then start using my own. But going by their "guide" you smoke a whole chicken at 375...I haven't seen heat that high in any smoking recipe & I was really surprised. But, I did it anyway, & yes, after only 30 minutes, it was a very dark bird. But now I've listened to your video & the first thing you suggested is to toss their recipe book aside & that's exactly what I'm doing. Thanks CJ for all the tips, I will forever listen to you & not Ninja! Lol :)

[ghyslainetrudeau]

Merci beaucoup pour ces "tips"....I am a french speaking lady but your explanation where very easy to understand for me...this my first electrical BBQ / smoke and air fryer as I live in an apartment so I will watch your videos and your good advices...on the other hand, il you know some french videos as well as yours, please let me know.. thanks and haveca Nice day 😊

[vaughnslavin]

I returned a Traeger a couple of years ago. I didn't want everything smoked and frankly, I don't like things that will be expensive to repair. I recently, like today, received my Ninja Wood fired grill from Costco, $229.99 delivered. Oh yeah! Tomorrow I will plug it in to my little Honda generator just to see if this multi tool will run on that power source when our power goes out here in the boonies. Thank you for the info!

[billyparis]

I've just placed my brisket on based off your previous video. Fingers crossed.
Tip for northern users. I kept my pellets outside in Temps below 40 degrees. I thought my grill was broken because they wouldn't ignite. After measuring, I placed them in a glass bowl, microwaved for 30 seconds and the problem was solved.
Side note, dehydrate with smoke makes a great smoked cheese. Not many videos on this but I parlayed wood smoker recipes for use with this grill and it came out very well. 1hr was more than enough smoke.
Enjoy the grill.

[nenejackson]

I just never let the fire go out!
It's simple to just add about 8 or nine pieces at a time to control how much smoke you would like. I stop adding pellets whenever I want to..
I have used charcoal pellets from Lowe's and you need to use less of them. So just add as needed it really tastes great. Royal oak charcoal pellets in lowes. $20 large bag.❤

[CatScratch]

Hey CJ, When I get my ninja on I will be mixing 80 percent wood pellets to 20 percent Charcoal pellets as a starting point 💥 Thanks 4 the videos!

[CharlesSchlotzhauer]

As a long time temperature and clock griller, your instant probe method is quite impressive. New to the Woodfire grill (I just wanted a smoke flavored burger), I’ve completed three successful cooks using the CJ technique. Thanks for the information and methodology. When to use High, Med. and low settings in different cooks would be great information, luckily trial & error has worked well thus far. Salute!

[rynegade]

Just got mine a week ago. Haven't cooled much on it yet. I would love a good grilled corn on the cob recipe coming for the summer

[stephennorthup]

To reignite the pellets push the Woodfire button until it blinks.
