OG701 (Standard size, non-XL) cooking way too fast? Looking p tips and workarounds!

Hi everyone!

I’m 38, I work as a creative manager and I’m a huge fan of slow cooking. After hearing great things about the Woodfire, I finally decided to step up my game.
I'm completely new to the family, and while I'm incredibly excited to master this machine.

I'm currently facing a bit of a learning curve with its aggressive cooking speed, which is quite different from what I'm used to with traditional low-and-slow.

I've tested the Ninja Woodfire OG701 (the standard/classic size, not the XL) 3 times so far, and every single time the food reached the target internal temperature way sooner than expected.

I wanted to ask, have you also noticed this overly aggressive cooking or a temperature discrepancy on your standard unit?

What workarounds do you recommend? Do you lower the temperature (and by how much), or do you just cut down the cooking time?
If you have any specific tips or general advice on how to get the most out of this grill, I’d love to test them out over time.

I would really appreciate hearing about your experiences, opinions, and tricks.

I'd love it if you could share your personal "cooking secrets" or your favorite recipes adapted for this specific model—I promise to test them all out and report back with the results!

Can’t wait to read your comments!

Whole Chicken

Whole chook seasoned with Stef The Maori ‘Porkhunt’ on roast mode at 165 celcius, took roughly 45 minutes. Glazed with smoky BBQ sauce for the last 10 Minutes. Turned out super juicy and smoky! Definitely doing it this way from now on.
