You can add more pellets and just press the Woodfire button until you see it flash. You don't have to shut the unit down. I do it all the time. I added pellets twice on a turkey breast roast. And won first place in a recent cooking competition. They said it was juicy and smoked perfectly. Used plumb pellets. They burned very quickly so I had to add more.

[@soulinspiration1]

Thanks for the info. The ability to add pellets to get a deep smoke flavor is the litmus test for me to whether or not buy this grill. How many times would I need refill the pellets for a rack of ribs?

[@boonelipsey5393]

@@soulinspiration1 They last about 45 minutes. I never know for sure because I cook to internal temps. It's only about a cup of pellets. But the space is confined so you get a lot of smoke in a short amount of time.

[@soulinspiration1]

@@boonelipsey5393 ok thanks for replying. One last question: How expensive are the pellets? I see it comes with initial supply. Are cheaper brand available that are just as good?

[@boonelipsey5393]

@@soulinspiration1 you can use any food grade pellets. You can even buy the brand they supply in bigger bags cheaper. I use plum pellets. I bought a large bag. Used them all summer and still have half a bag. Bought the plum through Amazon.

[@soulinspiration1]

@@boonelipsey5393 Thanks again,

[@seancampbell1383]

I have learned through trial and error that if you long-press the woodfire button, it re-ignites the pellets. So you don’t need to unplug anymore! Thanks for all the great videos. I use your wing video recipe weekly 🙏

[@surge3158]

This review encapsulates everything I've been telling my friends about this grill. I live in an apartment so a full-blown smoker is just not an option. This thing gives me pretty damn good BBQ on a budget. And my only complaint is the hopper size. Which, unlike in your review, you can press+hold the "Woodfire Smoke" button for about 3 seconds during your cook to re-ignite the pellets a lot quicker. I like to cook, but my burgers have never been better than what I can make on this thing. Highly recommended.

[@pattismith1331]

We travel Fulltime in our airstream and this has been a game changer for us. We use it 5 out 7 nights and haven’t made a bad meal on it yet. Thanks for all the info and the push to buy it!

[@billp5292]

I purchased one absolutely love it. I live in a camper. And it's been outside covered up and I have to say. My next door Neighbour loves it just as much. I let him use it when I am on the road.

Thats super nice of you! Glad you are enjoying it :)

Thank you! I just commented on another one of your videos about camping! You're the best!

Great review! Love mine. I’m still getting use to finding the right temp for items. And I still need to use the other options the grill offers.

[@2Eaglez]

Thanks for a decent review. Considering this product and your video was very helpful.

[@rhondagage8527]

Made jerky this weekend. it is really awesome ,I love this unit for so many reasons !

It’s great for cooking chicken pieces with the skin on. Roast, then air crisp. Great crispy skin without smoking up the house.

You poor soul. Stuck CA , we escape almost 4 years ago. Never going back by the grace of God.

[@angrypuppett33]

I was a good boy this year, so I asked Santa for a Blackstone and ninja! Absolutely love both! But we’re talking about the ninja. I got the deluxe which is bigger it fits two racks of ribs.! And much more food than the original! Also comes with a probe which I haven’t set up yet! Pretty good! I have mine in the foyer by the pool I live in Florida on the stand and I keep it covered! Absolutely love it. I haven’t fully traditionally use the smoker but I grill and smoke so I use a little smoke when I grill and you can taste the flavor. It’s actually pretty cool.! I’ve used the air fryer just like a traditional convection air fryer and that’s the thing it does cook almost like a convection oven so it does cook a little faster and that’s the one thing you have to keep in mind !! I decimated burgers when I first made them because I cooked them too long! Lol😂 but everything she said is right it’s really easy to use. It’s to me it’s worth it it’s just awesome especially if you don’t have a lot of space it’s great.! I’m blessed to have a lot of space but that it doesn’t matter! It’s made for everyone!

[@susanschroeder8021]

Heyyyyyy! I have both indoor and outdoor (wood fire). We just bought a camper because all our friends started camping and we aren’t moving the 5th wheel up on the hunting property. So our camper doesn’t have a stove. I used my outdoor ninja and made baked potatoes and everything else you cook in an oven and it was quite impressive. We didn’t smoke or grill on it because we were with 7 other campers and everyone made stuff and brought it together. But we have at least 3 more camping trips and I’m sure I’ll cook a tomahawk even if I have to cut some of the damn bone off!! My indoor ninja that I got for Christmas, I love that dang thing!! I LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEEE IT!!! I have a decent stove but I literally use my indoor grill twice a day!! I also love my ninja blender, use it multiple times a day as well as my ninja knives. Thanks to you, we have two of everything ninja in my house. Carl has his own ninja product 😂😂😂😂😂 I’ll give you the scoop or ask KT. She’ll lol telling you. Xoxo Oh, everyone needs to get a digital thermometer if your ninja doesn’t come with one. Don’t be like me using my outdoor grill for first few times and burn perfectly good filets first time, ribeyes next time. And I had even watched your video saying throw out ninjas cooking time recommended book! Both indoor and outdoor cooks fast and furious!! 😊 sorry for long winded text. Wonder where KT gets her talking from. Sorry. 😂

[@labrador18]

Yeah,I ❤ mine.Heard there is a larger one in the works,hopefully includes a rotisserie.

[@NuengKoyfong]

Thanks for the review..Will get one now...

[@KennasKitchen]

Awesome. I hope you enjoy it:)

[@Shadoweliteuk]

You don't need to disconnect it from the mains, just click the smoker/ignite button again and it will re light. Mine never lights the pellets on the first start up so I have to re press the ignite to get it going again

[@boonelipsey5393]

Mine is the same way. I have to restart mine all the time as well.

[@h2ophlowz259]

thank you for the review. The Ninja Grill still consider a sophisticated electronic device that is always recommended to store indoors. moisture can deteriorate electronic components inside over time if left outdoors. I wonder if we can add conventional wood chips instead of designed pellets in the smoke chamber.

[@bobbicatton]

Great review👍😊

[@vaidasja1569]

You can reset smonking without disconecting simply just holdiing button for 3 sec

[@KennasKitchen]

Awesome, thanks for the tip!

[@clatesimerly8469]

I learned that if you want to add more pellets after they burn out, all you have to do is fill the hopper again and press and hold wood fire button for 3 seconds and it will reignite the pellets without having to unplug and start method all over again,hope this helps on the update.

[@chargriller6547]

I have had the same experience.👍

[@murphymurph7578]

I tried my housewarming present last weekend. I'm hooked, and I'm glad I discovered this channel. I want to make brisket, and I'm here to learn.

[@KennasKitchen]

[@hotshot-usa]

Excellent video review- just ordered one for our Christmas gift. I have not seen anyone mention Over woodfire Pizza and how that turned out?

[@thermos750]

Awesome video really enjoyed it! I have a Bradley Puck smoker but as many will say getting the temp up to 220 deg F or more is a challenge. Did you say that you did a brisket in this smoker? How many lb's and what size is the Ninja? How long does the pellets last before you have to fill them up? And is the lowest smoke temp 248?

[@DM-go7zi]

Good video. Love mine!

[@knightwarfilms8923]

Your videos were one of the ones that convinced me to get this, and I'll be trying my first smoke/air fry tomorrow with some wings! Also got it scratch and dent for $150 so a steal!

[@KennasKitchen]

SCORE!! Hope it’s treating you well:)

[@debwaynewoodward1460]

We are full-time RVers, so this is a big consideration for us!! Thx for all your pros & cons!! We will probably store outside when we are set up but will keep covered when not in use, though not in rain! Hoping that doesn't affect unit?!

[@louiserwin3726]

Trust me. I have a Monster Green Egg, Blaze Gas and a Traeger in our outdoor kitchen. I use the woodfire for my wife and Myself 90% of the time. Bone in chicken breasts marinate in olive oil and Leaders and then smoke 350 for 35 minutes and then check on cook speed. It will blow your mind. You absolutely cannot go wrong especially having the air fryer component also. The ability to cook quick BBQ is amazing. I will warn you about brisket, it is almost impossible to get right on this.

[@IrixGuy]

Excellent presentation and thorough information! Sub and Like added! I love Shar Ninja products and was thinking about picking one of these up for fun. I cook a ton on my Weber kettle and Masterbuilt electric smoker but am looking for a new toy. I'd use one of these primarily for smoked and air-fried wings!

[@KennasKitchen]

Thank you so much for the kind words and the sub. I appreciate it:) I dont think you'll regret getting one of these. They are easy to use, easy clean up and excellent food. The wings are awesome, because of the combo feature like you mentioned. Enjoy!

[@HallwayMedia]

Can you use it in the winter outside??

[@chargriller6547]

Good point regarding price / value. Of course if you can get it for free even better.🤔

[@soulinspiration1]

Thank you so much!! You answered my questions about the pellets that no one else including Ninja won’t address: How is the smoke flavor with only one application of pellets and how easy is it to add more pellets. This drawback is making me think twice about buying this grill.

[@briannaconvey5857]

The smoke flavor out of this thing is great and all you do is lift the hopper lid, add more pellets and after you shut the lid hold the Woodfire button for 2 seconds and it blinks and it reignites the pellets. Super easy.

[@donnastormer9652]

I’m waiting for my local Sam’s Club to put it on sale. I am 68 and live by myself and have a large pit boss for parties and guests but I hate heating that thing up just to do a patty or a steak or a couple pieces of chicken one night for myself that’s what intrigues me about it thanks for your review.

If you have Costco, it is going on sale later this month.

[@donnastormer9652]

@@DLong-wp8su I just saw that thank you very much that’s where I’ll get it!

[@DLong-wp8su]

@@donnastormer9652 I also suggest to find something that cook at the highest temperature (broil) so you know it is 100% function. There are folks run into problem melting smoker box later, which hard to return or deal with manufacture warranty.

How would thiis be so far as cooking steaks and hamburgers are concerned? I am also looking at a Weber Lumin electric grill.

[@KennasKitchen]

Would work perfect for things like that as well!

[@lauratucholski]

Can you view this via an app and track internal temps and such? Im so interested in this!

[@KennasKitchen]

You can not do that for this one, but they have an XL model that you can control and monitor via app. I have a video about it on my channel if you wanna check it out. Its an awesome unit.

[@offroadskater]

A con is that for some inexplicable reason the European unit cannot cold smoke. I've been using the dry setting to emulate but I think the fan is stronger at that setting and you risk drying out your food. Absolute bummer that 250 f/120 C is the lowest setting in Europe.

[@DLong-wp8su]

There are so many Ninja Woodfire version so you should provide the model# at the beginning of the video.

[@VincenzoIanni1982]

Can I use wood chips for blending instead of pellets?

[@KennasKitchen]

I wouldn’t recommend using wood chips

[@Bchaa-1234]

Can I add a smoke tube if smoke isn’t enough?

[@KennasKitchen]

No, I wouldn’t advise this!

[@aaronrojas5399]

What is the average length of time the hopper keeps pellets. Or how quickly do you need to refill pellets?

[@KennasKitchen]

I dont ever refill the hopper during a cook. I cant say exactly how long the pellets run for, but maybe an hour and a half? It's designed to only be filled up once, and infuse the meat with smoky flavor at the beginning. Unlike other pellet grills, this one still gets its heat from the convection oven, and not from the pellets burning. So you don't need to run it the whole time!

[@user-zh2mb9xl6o]

Warning for folks in the UK, if you're thinking of buying this, be aware that the UK version does not cold smoke like the USA version. So if you have idea's of putting a little smoke flavour on say sausages, the lowest smoker temp is 120c (248f) so they'll be cooked before they get any smoke flavour. Also forget getting a med rare steak, this thing just doesn't get anywhere near hot enough to get that nice sear without over cooking. You'll also see many well know demo's on cooking & smoking a whole chicken, they come out awful, dark almost burnt. Big disappointment for me.

[@KennasKitchen]

Thanks for the info :)
