Nice video! I ended up getting it but I’d say, The ninja smoker definitely cooks some good smoked food but there’s a major learning curve to it. If you smoke you meats with the smoker setting, I’d recommend letting the smoker run for about 10 mins after pre-heat before putting in any of your food otherwise it will get that white smoke and your food will taste bitter and unpleasant.

Nice tip!. It does seem to have a bit of a learning curve to it. I also think it depends on if you ever used any other kind of smoker before. If you have it is a little harder I believe. If you haven't you don't have any habits or things that trip you up as much.

Regarding the small size: they made it as big as they could for using a standard 120v 15 amp outlet. It's 1760 watts, which is maxing out the outlet. To go bigger and still be able to attain the same temps would require higher wattage and a 20 amp outlet (usually non-residential) or 240v. The "sear" feature would present the same challenge: higher wattage.

⁠@@santiagoaguilar8429yes, it’s using an electric heating element as it’s main source of heat. The pellets aren’t used for heat as much as they are used for flavor. With a pellet grill/smoker, the heat comes from the pellets itself. The electric draw on a pellet grill/smoker is used to power the controller, fan, auger, and a small heating element that is only used to initially start the pellet fire. Once started it no longer uses the heating element. The ninja is essentially an electric griddle with a lid and a side pot for burning pellets from the electric heater element. This only gets to about 400F unfortunately and you generally want to sear at 500+F . The fact that it’s pulling full current out of a standard outlet, there’s no going hotter or larger. This is a cool grill though for small easy smokes.

I did find today a setting that is not listed in the Ninji literature, on the smoke setting you can turn the temp down till the display says CLD and cold smoke things like freshly cased sausages, cream cheese, and cheese which is going to be perfect for the Texas twinkies and armadillo eggs I plan to cook next week.

After having my wood fire grill for about 1 month, I found I didn't care much for the pellets Ninja provided so I've since switched to using Royal Oak Charcoal hardwood pellets. I am totally in love with the flavor these pellets deliver. Much better. I don't think I will ever return to using the ninja pellets again. Cleaning is a breeze but sometimes it takes a while for the pellets to die down. I have used a light water spray bottle to cool them, works fine to extinguish a little faster. Good review!

We have this grill and have zero complaints so far. We also went to Lowes and got a 40 lb bag of pellets for $18. Also, there's a bit of a learning curve to figure out times/temps to your preference of how well/rare your meats are done. A wireless thermometer is something I recommend as the grill tends to run on the hotter side.
@DadGotThis

Awesome! It always runs hotter due to the small size of the cooking chamber for sure. I always tend to cook at lower temps than most other cookers recipes, even the ones that came with it can be too high if you are smoking not air frying.

@@DadGotThis chicken wings, steaks pulled pork burgers. All came out perfect way better than most restaurants. This is really an amazing grill I have used many gas, charcoal and electric grills. The smoker and convection are a game changer on this one. One tip though I read where people say to refill the pellets on long cooks. To me this is unnecessary. The pellets have are just there to add smoky flavor. Even on a 3-4 hour cook one round of pellets is plenty for me. On anything quick burgers, wings etc. I only use a half scoop of pellets. Don’t like is when the smokiness overpowers the other flavors.

i have a small space in the city so i can't have a proper grill or anything that spews fire for that matter, i can't help but wonder how does this stack up to cooking on actual coal/wood. does the meat get that lovely char that distinguishes it from something that's oven-cooked? i understand that i can't be 100% 1 to 1 to real fire, but does it even come close? because the sceptic in me makes it sound like it's a high powered contact grill without the top plate but with a smoker. for context, i'm from eastern europe where there is very little of american grill culture but a lot of cooking meat on wood, hence my hesitation
@DadGotThis
@DadGotThis Жыл бұрын
Ok to be honest you are not going to get a charcoal grilled, or wood fire direct cooked taste. Now as far as comparing it to a smoker where char is not really a factor the flavor is pretty close. However you can get great flavor similar by smoking then air frying or just air frying with the smoker which does produce a nice char.

If you pellets aren’t stored in a sealed container and have any exposure to hair, they can fill a little with moisture and that will ruin the igniting of the pellets.

They don't work at all. Grease drips right through the cracks and completely misses the drip tray. It makes a huge mess on the plastic handles on the OUTSIDE of the grill... for no great reason other than Ninja must not have done quality control or they just don't care that grease gets everywhere but in the tray.

Ninja Foodi items are notoriously difficult to clean. I have the Ninja Foodi 10 in 1 XL Pro Air Fryer Oven and love everything about it except cleaning it. You have to thoroughly clean it each and every time you use it otherwise a sandblaster is the only thing that will clean those oven walls. Many people swear by the Pink Stuff (mildly abrasive) but so far I have just used soap, hot water and the hubby's elbow grease. Great review! I think this Ninja is next on my shopping list.

Agree. Love our Foodie Grill/Griddle/Air Fryer. Don't worry that much about the spatter up and around the top. My big disappointment is the grill grate. It is a giant PIA to clean. Toss it in the dishwasher they say. Nope. Won't clean the stuck on stuff. Clean it by hand (without damaging the non-stick coating), not so easy to do. So, we mostly put foil or parchment under anything we cook on the grill if we're not looking for those grill marks.

I wanted to buy it, but it's not designed for steaks as the temperature doesn't get high enough for steaks :( So I am looking into Webber unit that gets to 600F and it's bigger too . I am curious if I can just implement my own "wood fire technology" by wrapping those pellets in tin foil an putting in on a grill.

I’ve never had any food that has been “smoked.” I’m wanting a bbq grill taste for a hamburger, chicken, pork chop. Does this provide that taste?
@DadGotThis
@DadGotThis 11 ай бұрын
If you are looking for that charred charcoal taste it is possible to come close. If you use charcoal pellets and use the air crisp (air frying) setting you get some nice char on things like chicken with a charcoal flavor. Same for steaks and chops etc. If you are doing a burger just on the grill setting you won't get that flavor because it is just like using a griddle, there is no flame kicking up on the food. I hope that makes sense???

No! There will be residual toxins from the smoke in the lid that when heated up will be released. It would be dangerous.

Do you know if you can Air Fry in the 7 in 1 grill without using the basket. Like can I use the setting but put the food on the grill that comes with it, is it the same effect. Also, booklet says don't refill with pellets ever, but then it says if you do fill before the pellets burn out completely?
@DadGotThis
@DadGotThis 8 ай бұрын
I don’t see why you would not be able to use the setting without the basket. I think it just holds things. However it does allow for airflow below the food allowing it to crisp better. I did not see where it says not to refill. It even tells you how to reignite when you do.

Hello again, I wanted to ask please from your experience, is there a significant difference between the taste of the meat in a gas grill and a smoked ninja grill?
@DadGotThis
@DadGotThis 8 ай бұрын
On actual smoked food yes. By that I mean things you smoke for hours like a pulled pork or brisket or ribs. On short cooks like chops, burgers, steaks you can get similar tastes using a smoke tube filled with pellets on a propane grill. The other thing to consider is the amount of propane used when you do a long smoke on a propane grill. I did some Memphis ribs that way and went through SO MUCH propane.

Neither could answer this simple question; totally got smoke blown up my six. Just to add Ninja and BBQ guys list the max temp for the pro connect XL at 500 F. If anybody has the pro connect XL will you please measure the length and width of the actual cooking surface. thanks

That’s a tough one for me to say. It has a smoked flavor. I would not say that charcoal grilled is specifically a smoky flavor. A lot of that flavor from a charcoal grill for me is from the char you get. You don’t really get the char like a real charcoal grill. You can get a nice crisp and smoky flavor though. I guess it would help to know what it is that you identify as a “charcoal grilled” taste.
