I 'll tell ya the honest truth... been grilling over charcoal for 40 plus years. Never cared for gas or pellets. This unit is thing is OUTSTANDING... Got it for Father's Day ( actually b4 but had to wait on the stand) it rained here in VA every weekend for a month. I'm a Railroader... Finally got a chance to mess with it this weekend... I was impressed... Did some wings ( air fried then grilled) and some stuffed pork chops... only thing I'll do different is smoke'em for half the cycle and finish on the grill cycle. Appreciate cha bruh. Keep kicking out your ideas and recipes.

[@jonohan491]

Thank you for all your recipes on this grill. Because of you, I went out and purchased one. My first attempt was these wings. The process was exactly as you demonstrated. Through experience, I never use the BBQ rubs. I find less is more and usually go with simple salt and pepper. The way I made these: I used a little over 3 lbs of drummets and wings. They were already thawed. About 21-24 pieces I used a mixture of baking POWDER and cornstarch as a coating. (1tsp of each for every pound of meat) I mixed four teaspoons of each in a separate bowl. You can add a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly. Pat wings dry and place in a bowl. Make sure the skin on the wings is covering the meat and not pulled back. Add the flour mixture and mix the wings by hand to coat. Place an air fry basket in the smoker. Add Pecan pellets to the hopper. Select the air crisp mode. Press the wood fire button. Set temp to 400 degrees for 25 minutes. Let the grill go through the ignition and preheat process. (about 5-7 minutes) Place wings skin side up in the basket. Close the lid and smoke/air fry for 10 minutes-open the lid. Flip and cook for another 10 minutes-open the lid. Flip and cook for 5 minutes. They were awesome by themselves. Otherwise, coat in your favorite sauce. *one of the advantages of not using a rub is the fact that they will not darken as much during the air fry process. (usually because of the sugar in the rub)

[@CookingWithCJ]

[@davidkarmann406]

I've done this several times & it's my new favorite way to do wings. The basket holds 20-22 wings, which is conveniently exactly 1/2 of a 3-lb bag of frozen. Unlike most air fryers where the heat comes entirely from above, the Woodfire has a 1000w element under the grate and only 500w above - don't know for sure but I believe even in the Air Crisp mode most of the heat comes from the grate? Anyway, I've quit flipping them halfway thru. They get cooked just as well and I don't lose any cooking time.

[@CookingWithCJ]

I think the air crisp mode is just heat from above. Thank you!!

Patricia, I bought this because it does cook/smoke smaller quantities. It's just hubby and I now and I could not see getting a big smoker, so when this came out, I knew it would be perfect for us and it truly is. I think you would be happy with this purchase. I did buy a cart to put it on outside, not the one they suggest on their website, just one from Amazon.

They are thawed? You added smoke to air crisp setting? (All of their settings in the book make food very well done.) So, you did: in the basket, pellets, and air crisp 20 minutes at 390degrees?

[@karenkeith8430]

Doing a spatchcock chicken and enjoy chicken in the traditional air fryer. Waiting to put the chicken on after the pellets are all good instead of right from the beginning. Hesitate of the heavy artificial smoked flavor that we got when we made pizzas. Thinking I need to burn off a little of the harsh flavor from the initial burn. Ideas or comments appreciated.

Thanks for the awesome video! So did you have the wings in the grill already during the ignite and preheat stages?

Okay gotcha, thanks! I'll look out for it- perfect timing cause I'm planning to do wings on Monday.

Just tried it with thighs. Worked well.

Yes outside only. I let the heavy smoke dissipate before filming, check my rib video to see the smoke. It’s got decent smoke.

[@a5hmcom]

So, from watching this video (great job BTW) it seems to me that the 1/2 cup of pellets only lasts about ten minutes. Would have to refill frequently if doing a long smoke process. Do you agree?

[@CookingWithCJ]

Hey thanks, it’s more like 30-45 min. But, ninja says one half cup of pellets is only needed for a long cook. I don’t see how that’s possible. I’m going to do ribs this week and I’ll put that to the test.

@@CookingWithCJ Ahh, well sir I’m really enjoying your videos. I have a ninja pressure cooker/air fryer and love it. I saw that ninja came out with an indoor barbecue but this is even better with the smoker. I’m looking into getting one myself. Nice backyard by the way, looks relaxing. And by the way you can’t even hear the water running in the background. Again, great videos and I subscribed.

Hey cj have you ever cold smoked your meat and let it seat overnight and then cooked it the next day and smoked it while it was cooking?

[@krow2190]

So can you smoke your wings or whatever your cooking ON the air crisp setting? Like at the same time or do you have to smoke first and then do air crisp?

[@rbroberts61]

You can smoke at the same time. Seems to be what really sets the Ninja apart from anything else out there. You can turn on the smoke in any cooking mode!

Cj is the Guga of the Ninja grill!
