Honest Review Of The Ninja Wood Fire Outdoor Grill / Air Fryer / Is It Worth $370.00? 

I literally scored this today at Kohl's for $212! Used a 40% off coupon then had a mystery savings of $10 they gave to customers...Can't wait to use it

Yes $370 for a bigger pellet grills only. This Ninja was engineered to do multiple functions besides smoke. There is more to life then smoke 😆 We bought this for our RV and this Ninja does everything in one little, light weight unit. Yes we bought the extra flat top for it. Pancakes, eggs, bacon, chops, corn bread, biscuits, steaks, burgers 20 hotdogs, 2 racks of smoked ribs, baked potatoes. It does a lot and won’t empty my propane tank. Easy to clean grill, you can actually put it in the dishwasher and it’s clean. We’ll worth the $$$ for the multi purpose use.

Thanks Tom! I’ve been looking into this grill. In a condo it’s against the law to have any grill that uses gas or charcoal, so this is a big plus!

I got one on HSN for $299. So far I am happy with it. I got rid of my broken Weber charcoal grill and replaced it with this. For me it is perfect as I just cook for 3 people, non-picky people. As long as I can smoke some wings OR steaks or tomahawk pork steaks I am good. Mine came with the griddle and the cover. So far everything I have made has been delicious, easy to clean up and quick to make. I do intend to try some longer smoking on it, we will see how that goes. So it is worth it for me.

If you live in an apartment unit like me where only electric grills are permitted, this basically the best option you have. I just bought mine after using the Weber one, and I love it .

Had ours about a week. $299 on Amazon. Have cooked burgers twice, NY Steaks, St Louis Ribs and a Tri-tip roast. Everything came out really great. The Tri-tip and the steaks were absolutely delicious. Smoked the Tri-tip to 130 degrees using a bluetooth thermometer. Very easy to use and clean. Well worth the money.

With such a short cord, a good ext. cord is a must.

This was a good one Tom! I actually got one of these, my wife got it for me for our anniversary, and I did hamburgers on it and was really impressed with the smoke flavor on them. I’m pretty sure you can use any pellets you want. Hey, another tool in the shed! Looking forward to seeing more cooks on this. Cheers buddy!

QVC had this at the Today's Special Price today for $299 so I grabbed one. Thanks for the video!

Thanks Tom. I'm a purest when it comes to smoking and I prefer wood fuel, however, this grill works great at our townhouse where we can only use electric grills.

I get great results with my Masterbuilt by using a smoke tube on bottom rack tented with foil. Amazing results. Excellent ribs in an hour or less.

Loved mine and got it at Costco will all the extras except a table. Sale price was $239. Its Fantastic. My fav is smoke and grill or smoke and air fry. AF kicks that smoke out like a chimney. lol

Okay here are the Ninja WoodFire grill facts.... :/ From San Antonio Texas BBQ capital. ^_^ Consider that the convection fan will increase the cooking effect. On Grill High is 500 Deg. On Grill Med. is 470 Deg. On Grill Low. is 375 Deg.

Mine is being delivered today. With its incredible diversity, I think it’s well worth the money. It will be perfect for camping and using when RVing. I bought the cart, the cover, and the griddle. It’s perfect for a single person or couple. Not sure it would be for a larger family.

Great video, love the info on the weber tray. I have an Ocean State near me that has the same size tray. Plus, for the pellet part, I bought a giant 20lbs bag and the last two times I have used it, I did chop the long pellet's in half, I was super quick to do. I am planning to create a batch to have for it to be easier because. 20lbs for 19.99$ is better than 12oz for 11.99$. thank you for this video.

Great machine had it for some time now gets the job done.

Thanks Tom, I just saw an ad for one of these today so I thought I'd see if you had tried it out and, sure enough, you have.

Looked at these last year and were 250.00. The 15 amp is power supply was questionable with last year's reviews because of testing with various power sources for off grid usage. ( tailgating, picnics, camping, ) still thinking about getting one, but I better decide before the price goes up again. Thanks for your video .

love loove mine....made homemade baconnnnwow so impressed with this

Thanks for your very informative video. I became interested in this grill seeing it advertised on the TV. But upon discovering that you have o plug the thing in, I have zero interest in it. I'll stick to my mini Weber for camping trips.

I paid $150 plus tax for mine thanks to store selling for advertised price even though I asked to confirm correct product. God blessed us thru Kohls

That steak definitely looked to be medium-well. And you should invest in some silicone tongs to protect the nonstick surface.

These units can be found for less. I recently bought one. Was it worth the price? Sure was, in my estimation. Everything I've asked it to do was done well, from grilling to smoking. And I'm not fooling around with propane, charcoal, or conditioning woodchips for smoking. In 10 minutes I've got this thing fired up and ready. More importantly, I can cook on this thing with minimum intervention while I prepare sides, etc. fully expecting my meal to be done right. When I'm done cleaning it is an easy10 minute job. Investing my own money for one and have no regrets for either the product or the cost. My suggestion for those who may buy the basic unit is to use a thermometer religiously. It cooks in a jiffy.

For me we don’t need a bigger grill the size is good plus you can fit more than you think.

Good practical review 👍

Great review as always Tom! I do think that the steak was a little past medium... Thanks for the content!

I like your R2-D2 potato maker

I think I will pass but thanks for the review and saving me money!

Good review Tom, you're the expert on reviews.

Can also be used indoors.. wasn’t using the smoker though.

You can get a pellet grill for that price, however most apartments will not let you have a pellet grill.. Gan you do low and slow, like a brisket on it?

After the first smoke...and you air fry etc., in the house. Does it leave a smoke smell from then on? U know after smoking outside then air fry, bake etc., inside your home. Every time u use it does it smell your home up like a smoke smell from then on?

I guess it's ok for one or two people but for me it's too small. I'll just stick to may Weber Grill.

i happened to see last one at costco marked down to $150 though i dont need it. thinking about returning it but watching videos maybe ill keep it to gift, can you use a cast iron griddle on this?

Excellent review!!

Hey, I have question how many watts? Because I have use Battery generator. I try figure out is that worth investment for go out woods to use battery generator for Woodfire? (Use for 8 hours or less operation.) Thanks! Other question, is that okay for different pellet from other brand than used only Ninja??? (Big question why can’t use other brand pellet?) (I am apology not good grammar)

What are the dimensions of the Weber grease tray you use? Thank you.

On your masterbuilt I seen a RU-vid video and can’t remember who it was and he said the only it would light the pellets and smoke is when it’s on broil mode I think it was I’d love to have one but can’t find one anywhere

Good review Tom😃

Great video thank you. What is the brand of temp gun ?

Really cool needs to be 2.5x bigger

The Weber grease tray liner what size fits the woodfire

Will the pellets get going if you are doing a low and slow at 225? Does the brisket cook quicker or is it all about temperature?

Impressive great fit camping! Is your next video using the air fryer?

Can you use the grill setting or air fryer inside without using the smoker

I’d love to see your thoughts on the pit boss versus the ninja.

Will this cook a pizza? Steaks looked OK albeit a little too cooked for me. Thanks Tom.

Very nice review. What's your take on this 4 months later?

so what do u think would be the best compact pellet grill for the $???

This contraption ruined our thanksgiving dinner so we are sending it back as charcoal works every time, VERY DISAPOINTED. Ours would not burn their pellets

That steak is well done bro

HI Tom. What is the footprint in inches on this cooker? Thanks.

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?

Can you use wood chips if they are small enough?

Sure you can get a pellet smoker for cheaper but consider size, maintenance and cost of pellets. I think the Ninja comes out looking real nice unless you have a real large family. Im about to order one for $222 from kohls with $56 back in Kohls cash. Ninja has never let me down in the past!

I like the compactness but I think I'll wait a year for the price to come down to about $150.00.

Does it have a built in probe to track food temp while cooking? If not does it have a port to use your own?

You said you were going to answer the question is it really worth 380 and then at the end of the video you said I don't know I'll leave that up to you guys😂

So it’s not even induction heated? Wow, that’s inefficient.

Tom I ordered one today but wanted to ask you what size Weber liner you use in the grease pan. Thanks, Mark

After all that you just end with 'i dunno '

Cook book is not great, I dont use the times, rather temp cooking is better. Anyone know of a cook book other than from Ninja.

How do you turn off that annoying beep

Can u use this inside?

can you tell me what is the size of the disposable trays you are using?

Video named Is it worth 370? Conclusion...Idk I will let you decide

Woah woah woah… slow down son

Kohl's has 25% off now.

Great review Tom. I think it would be good for an apartment with a patio or deck. I’m guessing you can air fry with it indoors.

Can you tell me which top best portable pellets for Christmas gift recommend? (Made sure that Pellet grill portable have no catch fire. I hear them some did…. Not sure how. (I am apology not good grammar.)

Tom can you please review the Brisk It 580?

dont use meatal tongues on that griddle

Over cooked it

No thanks

Is inconvenient for elderly person

Good to see you do a review on this one. Do some other videos using the air fryer or maybe smoke some ribs. I thought this thing might be cool to maybe make “fries” to go with something else grilled instead of cooking in and outside the house.

I bought one for the RV and I love it. Makes better air fried wings than my home air fryer. 425 for 22 minutes. Shut the lid and forget it.

brilliant review ,thankyou

Hey Tom! I was wondering if this would be on your to do list. I was hot on it for a couple weeks thinking it would be good for making Jerky but using real Wood Chips in it instead of Sawdust pellets........but the urge passed. In my head I've made all BBQ in it thinking I could get a "Smoke Ring". I'll never know........but I'll watch You have fun. 👍 Metal On! \🔥/

It made nice grill marks on those chuck eyes. As you point out, if you have to cook outside with it, I think there are better options.
