Best Buy so far, can’t be asked waiting ages for old fashioned coal and gas, this cooks in minutes, the pellets give you a lovely Smokey taste and even works in the rain, so good for us UK peeps. Started cooking when got in from work and food was ready in time for the UEFA. Getting our monies worth.

Just gone and bought the standard size one. Comes with a free stand and cover. Use it tomorrow and can't wait 😅

[@SteveCav52]

We have the wood fire grill and you can get different flavoured pellets. The smoker function can be used to smoke food and cook at the same time. You can also use the other functions and smoke by pressing the smoke button. Ideally fill the pellets up to the top. You also have to keep the lid down on the functions the only one that allows you to keep the lid open is the grill one. These may have changed for the version you are using. And as Sharon said it can only be used outside due to the smoke that’s produced. Another boss video thanks again. Definitely worth getting

[@sarahfreeman3268]

I brought a ninja grill for indoors use only a year ago when our oven gave up and it’s great. We cooked our Christmas dinner in it along with our other ninja air fryer and it turned out to be the best Christmas meal I’d cooked for years 👍

[@tonyc4027]

Thank you all for an excellent review, I just bought this little thing today on the advice of someone else. I'd never heard of them before yesterday! I bought one today and I'm hoping it'll turn up tomorrow, they say next day on their site so fingers crossed. What makes your post outstanding is that it's for dummies, that is and no disrespect you have only done this once but it's really informative, and learning from you all I;ll be able to hit the ground running as you've done most of the work for me without having to read a manual - which I don't ever do until it all goes wrong😄so thanks once again for your advice and I'm off now to look at more videos you've posted.👍

[@acheface]

When you think what you'd pay for a Weber, then having to keep buying charcoal, I don't think that's a bad price.

I came here to see if I wanted to buy a one of these and I actually enjoyed watching them. Figure out how to cook everything more than the grill. Everything was genuine. This is Jean. I’ve seen yet. Everything really that’s a perfect medium rare state my goodness.

Looks like a nice thing to have , but £349 😮 i wont bother asking the Mrs i already know the answer😏😂 good video though👍

£250 mate and you can get stand and cover with it as a deal.

[@alstarlo53]

That’s the XL one I was looking at that

[@chicagolovefanfiction3181]

Just bought it from ninja website for £249 with the stand and cover!

[@HepcatHarley]

Great bit of kit, I have the Woodfire XL with bluetooth & wifi via app control. I put a whole chicken in it a few days ago and it came out so tender and juicy with a lovely crispy skin. I got my metallic blue one from Argos as it came with a free Woodfire table worth £130 at the time. The only downside is sometimes campsite electrics can't cope well with the power required to run it so it can trip out constantly. At home it's fine though. My burgers came out the same as yours, bleddy lovely, hold me up son :D

I love the XL unit. I have air fried 3) juicy turkeys (stuffed with brown rice, shrimps, and broccoli, (8) whole chickens, wild-caught salmon, beef brisket, and rockfish, using CookinPellets Perfect Mix Natural Hardwood Hickory, Cherry, Hard Maple, and Apple BBQ. I made an apple maple bourbon chilie lime dry-rub seasonings mixture. The flavors are amazing. I also smoked some honey barbeque turkey sausage baked beans and did a pan of Mac and Cheese Quiche. I used the Mojo citrus blend dry rub for the fish with lemons slices. I no longer use any of my pellet grills. Evenly cooked throughout

[@LindaGGG]

Thank you for the review Sharon and Martin. The belly pork looked scrumptious. Warm wishes and much love from Barnsley x

[@maxrider7880]

Bought one recently, I like it but it takes away some of the theatre of having a BBQ

[@macrook1961]

How do you get the smokey flavour on the beef burgers without using the wood chips and smoker setting ?

[@HepcatHarley]

On another note, I don't bother with the expensive drip tray inserts, I just put kitchen foil in the tray to catch the liquids which I'm sure Sharon will say can be used for a nice gravy or to make fat balls for birds etc

Lovely to see jimmy in the video and thanks to his friend for lending it to you. Martin your barbecue as a much larger surface to cook on for your big family. Also you have room on the higher ledge to keep things warm. How can you keep things warm with this machine I suppose you either have to eat it straight away or pop it in the oven or is there another way, I also think that the lid will get very dirty so I don’t know how you would clean this. Thank you for another wonderful video. It was interesting to learn about this machine but the one thing that was missing compared to yours was you doing the work and joking all the time. See you soon. I hope the wedding plans are working out well. Bye for now from Lynda

[@chrisp7839]

Used this with my electric car. You can plug it into the front of the car and run it off the cars traction battery, Its called Vehicle to load, and it lets you run normal 13A 240V household electrics straight from the car. Great for picnics. Feature isn't on all electrical cars, for example Tesla's can't do it, - its mainly Hyundai/Kia/MG I think.

[@wardyx360]

Great video as always, I’ve been very interested in one of these wood burners for a while, but been a little on the fence with them. Just to ask, is the burner in the video the standard size or the XL model ? As that size would be ideal for me

Not sure if it was mentioned but using an extension lead with one of these can be a fire hazard if the extension lead hasn't been fully unravelled. I just have a vision of melted extension leads everywhere.

Hes a right royal pain in the....! where any food's concerned. But this looked so nice, l might be for turning....but not to the cost of that! (but a serious BBQ-er would love it I'm sure). Years ago l had a George Forman XL griddle and hotplate that l used in the garden in place of a BBQ. It was great. I'd consider getting another...if there was a chance we'd get a day or two where it doesn't rain!! 🤬 I'm not a fan of steak but those 2 looked lovely. 😋
