Do fill the pellets to the very top or they won't ignight. I think everyone messes this up on their first cook. You can check that they've ignited too. Wish I'd done that. My first cook was the most lightly smoked chicken ever prepared.
Got the XL a few days back, so far smoked ribs and a whole chicken (in one hour!) - fantastic product, fantastic results, thanks to you for your guidance. Here's a question: I've used the "smoker" mode both times. If instead of using "smoker" mode I used "roast" mode but added smoke while roasting is there some difference in results? I don't see why there needs to be two paths to adding smoke........
I've had my Ninja woodfire grill and smoker for about a month now I am impressed with the technology but there are a couple of major CONS considering the fairly hefty price of this product the ridged grill plate is extremely difficult to clean and takes a lot of the fun out of the cooking experience. I would expect at least a non stick surface on the grill plate. The second con and possibly even more important is that the smoke box lid gets jammed up with resin from the smoking and it is almost impossible to open it without breaking it. Even after a thorough clean it still gets jammed up after every smoking. These points might seem minor but for the price a little bit of quality would go a long way to improving the cooking experience.
I'm getting mine on Sunday, that's what the delivery date is. You said the temperature probes weren't accurate on the XL pro or something to that matter. Have you done a probe/ Bluetooth probe comparison in the same piece of meat to see ant disparity between the 2 different temperature probes? That would be interesting.
Excellent Should be a prompted play whenever a new person joins Basically you give the operating basics and your 4 ebooks give everyone a basic recipe to cook most of the major things people will do
Steam comes out of the sides and back on the indoor grill. Wouldn’t it be the same with the outdoor grill if you’re not smoking? Both have an internal fan behind the top heating element. Neither have a dissipating fan.
Can you do a video on cleaning the woodfire? I do a bunch of cooking in it, and I feel like I'm getting diminishing quality and maybe it needs a good clean
He made a video on ot. I have the indoor foodi. The only thing I really clean is the removable screen protecting the fan and clean that. I also bought replacement screens. Hope this helps
All good information in this video. Only issue I have is with the Pecan Shell pellets. For me these are hard to lite and hard to keep lit during the cook in my wood fire grill. I have to mix 50/50 with 'regular' pellets to get better success liteing and keeping burning.
The only time i dont wait for the ignition cycle is when im doing beef jerky. I put the jerky on cold with the dehydrator setting, and let it do the ignition cycle with the jerky in to give it that extra smoke flavor right at the beginning. all the other stuff i do on it, i let it go through and then put it on. I'm on a budget so instead of an instant read thermometer. i just use one of those old school analog ones with the dial on the top lol Ive never brought my woodfire indoors, it lives outside. even in the cold iowa winter we just had. it survived the week of -20 degree weather with 23 inches of snow. Though i do keep it in the cover on the ninja brand stand, probably would have damaged something without that.
I received the XL wireless version for christmas and so far have followed your videos to make pulled pork twice with excellent results! I stopped at Costco tonight to get some pork belly to follow your video from a year ago but they had cut it long ways so the belly is only about 1" thick. Is that normal? The pork belly you have in the video appears to not be cut. I asked the butcher and he said they do not cut it in 2" thickness.
Great work! Newbie here to the Ninja Woodfire Grill and your videos are very helpful. I just ordered your Cookbook bundle, can't wait to try it all....Thanks brother!!
Hi CJ…don’t know what time you’ll read this… I’m a charcoaler and a gasser …all Weber, Q,Genesis,Go Anywhere,Kettle…..and I love ‘em. Trouble is, I bought a Ninja air fryer just before Christmas…along with a Ninja Foodi grill-both are proper job 👍🏻 My quandary is do I now buy the Smokefire or the XL?…is the bigger one worth the extra outlay in your opinion? Only discovered your channel a week or so back ,and have to say I love it. You are a natural presenter mate,easy to understand and really,really upbeat 👏🏻🙏🏻 Regards from across the pond 👍🏻
Thank you for the kind words! As far as the cooker goes, if you need the space for cooks, then get the smokefire. But if you’re just cooking for a couple people the Woodfire works great .
We are new to using a smoker. We purchased the Ninja 7 in 1(not the Pro). Our first try was a brisket. My husband is still talking about how delicious it was. My questions is how important is it to inject a brisket, pork loin, or pork butt? If you do inject, what do you use? Thanks for your help. Love your videos. Going to purchase the cookbooks.
@@SuperRoma60 hold the Woodfire button again for 3-4 seconds it will reignite the pellets. And yes it will still cook. The heat has nothing to do with the pellets burning.
I just got mine set up. Haven't used it yet. It's kind of intimidating. As a new subscriber, and a beginner "cook" do you feel its easy to get started and easy to master?
Added more pellet and press the Woodfire button for 3 seconds, it’ll fire up the ign process again. And here are my books: www.cookingwithcj.com/shop/cook-books/ninja-woodfire-grill-bundle/
I don't see a link here to buy the 4 ninja cook books for $15. Can you please put the link up or point me where I need to go to purchase the cook books. Thanks CJ
I was going to order a grille from your web site when I noticed that your grill plate is for an OG700. I have an OG800 series. Just wanted to let you know, that you should be aware of what series so you don't get the wrong one.I subscribed and appreciate what you do. Dave
Make SURE to clean the PELLET BOX area or creosote will build up and stop the smoke from entering the cooking chamber and the pellets will not burn after ignition. I had to use like an ice pick to break the hardened cresote off the pellet mesh after taking the pellet box out. The lid also became very sticky and also is now hard to open because that area was not getting regular cleanings!!!!!
The amount of smoke you got from bacon grilled by the ninja is the same when grilled with a frying pan (using same temperature same sort and amount of bacon). The only difference is how the smoke is spreaded. I would say the only don't is using the smoker function indoors and if available put it under the dust extractor.
Here is something you must try if you want to clean the hood of the Ninja. Use LA Awsome. It dissolves the grime, and it start sliding down the lid with no scrubbing, and it will not harm the surface. No pitting. It can be deluded for all kinds of cleaning chores.
Bought mine recently and while reading instructions was wondering about pellets, then I discovered your no nonsense video, I am across the pond btw and thanks for the pellets information 👍
Hello from the UK. Great video man. I am seriously considering one of these products. I would probably keep it outdoors so the Ninja cover is a must. I have a question about the Ninja stand. Is that an essential purchase or could any stable table do the job? - Thank you. Peter.
The container that I put the pellets in that area is starting to build up like a creosol. Have you experienced that on your ninja and if so, what’s your recommendations for cleaning up? I have a photo but can’t seem to load it into the comments.
Thanks for the video, quite helpful. Unless this, I am not very happy with my Woodfire as the smoker function only worked properly one time (!) at my first use, since then, the pellets get ignited shortly, it smokes for about 5 minutes, then the pellets go off and don’t burn down completely as they should. Very disappointing…
Thank you! However, I always fill it up completely with and most of the times it does not work. I also try it with re-igniting, sometimes it works, sometimes not.

Right on!
I live in FL. the humidity is hard on grills. I am moving my Ninja inside for storage to see if that helps. Yes, I do have covers on all my grills.
All good. Humidity isn’t much of a problem here in SoCal.
Steam comes out of the sides and back on the indoor grill. Wouldn’t it be the same with the outdoor grill if you’re not smoking? Both have an internal fan behind the top heating element. Neither have a dissipating fan.
Do: read the white owners manual. There’s lots of great information in there!
Definitely!
Love my Ninja Woodfire grill. Hope they make a larger one someday
They have an XL version, I’m thinking that’s as big as they’re going.
Thanks, I've just bought one. Liked the tip about just accepting the inside will get a bit grubby.

Great Points! I clean my grill plate my food is sticking to the plate even with or without sprays any suggestions?
Try letting it sear the food a little longer. As the sear happens it should naturally pulls off the grates.
Your videos are really helping me with my new ninja!
Thank you!
Glad I saw this, I was about to try wood chips in the grill. Thanks for the warning!
No problem!
I just got mine set up. Haven't used it yet. It's kind of intimidating. As a new subscriber, and a beginner "cook" do you feel its easy to get started and easy to master?
It’s pretty easy to set up, but it’ll take you a couple cooks to get it down pat.
Thanks!!! Just Bought mine. Taking it out the truck Now
Awesome!

If your after a slight Smokey flavour is there a minimum amount of pellets you should use?
Thanks for the video :)
Usually just fill up the cup. Maybe let it burn through for 20ish mins and then add the food.
Cj have you ever done a leg of lamb on the ninja smoker been looking for tips ?
No I have it. Try the search feature on RUclips, I think some of my UK RUclipsrs have tried it.
CJ, what's the best way(s) to keep meat from drying out on this grill?
You can spritz while cooking. And make sure you’re cooking to internal temps and not just time.
Can you use them outdoor in cold temps? Live in Alberta , Canada and sometimes it gets pretty cold in the winters.
I’ve seen a lot of people cooking in snow before. But it’s not anything I deal with in SoCal. Lol
Man still raining in SoCal? Was there 2 weeks ago and rained 3 days straight. Thanks for your videos man
Yeah it’s been pretty off and on. Thanks!
Interested in your books but I only have the woodfire oven, do I have to alter recipes to accommodate?

I just ordered the OG700 grill. Is it safe to use this grill on a picnic table?
I would think so, it’s has “legs” under it, so it doesn’t head up whatever surface it’s on.
I haven't got mine yet but I will and baby I'm going to cook like there's no tomorrow!!!
when i use the "smoker" setting, how long does it take for pellets to start smoking? mine takes forever??🤷🏼 ty!!
Shouldn’t be more than a couple minutes before you start smelling and seeing smoke
Hey just bought the wood smoke have you done a brisket yet I just bought a 12# think I may have to trim it down to fit
I’ve done a few briskets on it. Just trim it to fit.
Thank you I will be looking for that video
Is it wise to smoke inside my screened in patio. Just got my ninja this past week and have never smoked meat before?
As long as there’s decent air flow you should be ok.

Do you recommend leaving it plugged in when not in use?
Not gonna recommend either way, but just say that I do leave mine plugged in.
