Best way to clean the grill.

First off, we’re loving the grill but cleaning the greasy grill plate is a right royal nuisance. We seem to go through half a roll of paper towels every time just to get the grease out of the grooves before we can wash it. Are we missing something? Is there a better way to do this?

Ribs. Omnomnom

110c 1 hr smoker setting. One round of chips.
Montreal chicken as a rub no binder. Spritz at 30 / 45 mins with just water

then wrap with butter and sauce and honey and another hour and a bit then pulled them. More or less cooking with cj 😜

Omnomnom

I love this machine.

Also I tried running the smoker at 70 to start some jerky. Will report back another time.

First attempt at a reverse sear tomahawk steak

First attempt went well, just wish I could reduce the juices when carving it. I rested for 25 minutes so not sure what else I can do?

Lowest temp and second smoke

Since the ninja runs hot, I have been putting the temp at 215 when making my brisket. But the ambient is still 240+. What is the lowest temp I can set this to and still have smoke, or are the 2 independent of each other?

Also, to get a second smoke, is the only way to shut down the grill and restart it? It starts at 5:00 hrs and say I want to add more smoke 90 minutes in. How do I do that? Thanks.

Loving my 8 in 1 Woodfire!

Made these with the family last night. We were all proud of how they came out and how great they tasted!

Been a month since I got this unit . Had no idea this even was an option for my camper .

Don’t let friends help you unpack .
Fist seasoning smelt a bit off
.
Silica beads right on the bottom next to the back fan.

Now know what cancer taste like .

Woodfire BBQ/Grill/Smoker - Fat leaking

I recently got the Woodfire (BBQ/Grill/Smoker) I have only used it 3 times and it has leaked fat every time.

The first time I just assumed I had not paid attention to how level it was, but each time since I have and a lot of fat still drips down under the unit rather than into the tray.

Anybody else seeing this on theirs? I am worried that if it looks this bad after only 3 uses then it is unlikely to last long. These photos are after a cleaning BTW, all that is left will not wipe off and is I am assuming burnt in.

Ninja Woodfire on Patio/Smoke Management

Hello! I was recently gifted a Ninja Woodfire. I love it. The only issue I have is I live in an apartment. We’re allowed to grill, but for the smoker function, there is a patio above me (I am on the third floor). Two walls on the patio are open; one is closed, the other is the apartment/sliding glass door. When I’ve been smoking things, the amount of smoke is too much to clear out on the patio quickly. Plus even if it does, it goes up into the patio above me. I’ve used a fan to blow the smoke out the side that is open with some limited success. I’m considering getting a high-heat resistant dryer hose and attaching it to the smoke exhaust to direct the smoke out better, and I have a small USB fan I considered placing inside the hose to pump the smoke out.

Is this a phenomenally stupid idea? Anything I’m not thinking about? It obviously works great as a grill without the smoke function, but feels like only using half the functionality.

Long Smoke

Questions regarding the instructions, for a long Smoke it says you shouldn't add pellets more than twice. What are your opinions or options on this?

Brisket in the UK

Are briskets found in UK shops different to those found in the US?

I’ve heard that UK butchers may cut it differently

I’d like to have a go at smoking some in the woodfire

I’m having trouble with the smoker

I’ve just got my ninja wood fire smoker but when I set it to smoker I can’t get the timer to go above 12 minutes? Has anyone else had similar issues ? Any advice would be appreciated

UK - Ninja OG701UK Woodfire Electric BBQ Grill & Smoker Toolkit

So i have just purchased the above item, cannot wait to use when it arrives but until then i am stuck on what BBQ utensils, tools set to purchase via Amazon. I am cautious about scratching the ceramic or likewise on this product so i dont want to buy any stainless steel. Would silicone bbq set do the job?

First cook/smoke?

So I recently was gifted a Ninja Woodfire guy. I’m thinking I do some smoked chicken wings for the first time. Would you recommend I use the smoke setting or just air fry them with pellets in?

Can I grill with the lid open? Or does it need to always be shut?

As the title says. I tried grilling with lid open but at the add food stage I added then it said to shut lid. And wouldn't stay on

Noise level?

Just got the Woodfire XL Grill and whenever the fan runs it sounds pretty loud, almost unbalanced?

Cooked a brisket and it worked well it's just noisier than I expected.

I know it's hard to describe/gauge over test but did anyone else feel like it was lid or are they generally fairly quiet?
