Smoker left drill hit and washer on my grill….

Tried to redeem myself from last nights chicken fiasco. Properly smoking this time but 15 minutes later found these on the grill.

Last two times of smoking I’ve heard a grating metallic noise when I lift the lid bht this is literally only the fourth time I’ve used this two week old smoker, what the hell is going on?

(I took them off the grill when I put my chicken on)

UK ninja woodfire advice.

Have UK version. Minimum it goes to is 120c. Which is 248f.

I did some short beef ribs. Individual. Noticed it gets to temp really quick. And becomes dry fast. And not enough time for collagen to break down.

Is there a better setting or strategy with UK version?

Or a different setting with smoker ignition. Perhaps?

As it smoked fast and hot. How much lower to go. Or what temps do people with US one use?

Same recipe for my first and second smoke - completely different results.

Curious if anyone can shed some light on this. I got the Ninja Woodfire two weeks ago. Last week I followed a recipe to a T for chicken thighs and they were the best I’ve ever had. Today I did the exact same recipe and they aren’t smoked at all. Same temp, time, everything, except…

The only changes I did was adding oil to the chicken like I was originally supposed to the first time, and filling up the smoker cup half of pellets instead of full. That may sound like a dead giveaway but the last time I smoked the chicken thighs, only half the pellets had burned, so I figured I didn’t need to fill the cup all the way.

Also, i noticed this time whenever I opened the lid there was a loud grating noise from the fan.

So what’s the deal folks? Do I need to fill the pellet jar all the way every time for it to get remotely smoked (even when most of those pellets go unsmoked for the half hour of thigh cooking?). Do I need to fix the fan? Do I have a lemon for a grill? Or am I just stupid?

How do I clean this?

Loving the Ninja Woodfire XL so far but I’m having trouble getting this cakes on grease or debris off. Using a bristled brush (plastic bristles), sponge, soap. Soaked it as well. I’m afraid to use anything harsher.

Suggestions?

Woodfire Pro Connect XL

Looking on Facebook Market Place for a first time buy of a Ninja grill. I know the best one out there is the one that's $499 from all the box stores. I'm wondering if I should wait for that exact one on Facebook or settle for the IG601 or IG651 that I have seen on Facebook for $100?

Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Smoked fresh turkey breast

Looked too good at HEB to pass up. Buttered it up and dusted with Heath Riles Competition BBQ rub.

Just Got My Grill Last Night - advice?

Having owned and returned two Weber electric grills, both went on fire, I decided to pick up the Ninja. I live in a Co-op so charcoal and propane are out. After ordering it last week on Amazon, it finally was delivered last night and I have yet to set it up

Any advice and suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Dehydrate on Pro XL

Hi I am in Australia and have bought but not opened my Ninja Woodfire Pro XL. I didn't realise that it only has 4 functions not the 7 on the smaller Ninja Woodfire. Can the Pro XL still dehydrate even though it doesn't have that function?

I read somewhere that dehydrating is usually around 55 or 60 degrees celsius. Can the Pro XL get that low?

Also has anyone used the reheat function on the smaller non Pro bbq? Is the air crisper just as good at reheating?

Thanks.

Thank you:)

How to prevent rodents and mold?

Hello everyone. New to Reddit and my Ninja.

I’m having an issue with rodents getting into the stove top area and all around the grill. I keep a cover on it. I scrap and clean it after every use. I’ve left mouse traps every time I cover it up and always come back to dead mice. I’ve watched them go up there from the house. It’s never ending.

Also it seems everything molds up after a few weeks of no use.

I am new to grilling. But I tossed my LOWES 200 buck grill in favor of this as I’m having lots of fun. But I want this one to last a long time.

Also am I suppose to season anything on here other than the griddle top?
