Ninja Woodfire™ Pro Outdoor Grill with Built-in Thermometer, OG751

What a great new appliance! My best friend got one last year and told me she uses it outside on her porch - all year long. I thought it looked small, but she said it handles a whole chicken, brisket, etc.I just love smoked chicken, smoked beef, smoked turkey, etc., so I decided to follow her lead and I got a Ninja Woodfire, too. The first thing I tried to smoke, I overcooked because I followed a suggestion to go to 205F internal temperature. I won't do that again, since we like our meat medium rare.We have been very pleased with the results - the added dimension of the smoked flavor is exquisite.I'm not expert yet at judging the cooking time, but as long as I have a little flexibility, it's going to be just fine!I am using and liking the internal thermometer - that way I can see when it's nearing the target temp, without opening the cover to stick in a meat thermometer and losing smoke and heat. I think that's a great feature, worth the extra cost for it.As far as assembly, the hardest thing was getting it safely out of the box with just one person. It's pretty heavy. It was easy to get the handles on and easy to see all the tape, etc., that needed to be removed before first use.I'm so enamored with the smoking feature that I haven't really tried much of the others. I did add cauliflower "steaks" to the griddle alongside something else, and they turned out great, but mostly it's just been the meats (brisket, leg of lamb, chicken). I'll try to add to this if I use the air fryer, etc.I'm very pleased with this cooker. There's so much about it that is well-designed. I expect it to continue to be a mainstay, especially while I can roast/grill/bake/smoke outdoors on our deck, leaving the kitchen cool all summer.

It is pretty good for an electric smoker griller with minimum clean up. I suggest you use the recommended pellets as the other types might have a higher moisture content & seem to be a bit larger. It’s has lots of functions but I mostly used the grill, smoker, air fryer & roaster. Smoke penetration is descent & when smoking I generally wrap the meat with foil once it achieves the desired darkness as in some instances it turns the meat real dark or black. You got to play with it a bit to get it down like with any grill but it’s pretty forgiving. It’s great with smoking Turkey. I have found ribs cook a lot faster than recommended & on medium better. I smoked a Turkey breast & orange duck stuffed with mandarin oranges it was delicious. Makes great steaks with thermometer at 1 1/4” to 1 3/4” thick. My 2 1/2” bone in ribeye steaks you got to possibly use a better thermometer or learn how to gauge it as it tends to cook the outer portions medium well & the inside medium rare on the rare setting. Great product overall for personal or small family use though. I love getting that smoke flavor w/o having to deal with the traditional charcoal. Smoked Jerk chicken on here fantastic too!

Just smoked something for my first time ever.I read reviews for nearly a year and I live in a 4th floor apartment so had very few choices. I got the ok from the management so pulled the trigger as a thank you to myself as a divorce gift.I’ve been busy so didn’t assemble for a few days. Bought a pack of wings and did an initial “burn off”. While I was prepping the wings I turned the unit on to “air fry” added some pellets and hit start. I could hear the unit beep to add food while prepping and hit start. I could smell the smoke and kept on for about 20 minutes while cutting up with wings into sections and sat and peppering.I never tossed with oil or baking powder and wow.I did full temp for 10 minutes, flipped them and another ten, dialed up the heat to 450 for 5 more and they weren’t super crispy, but clearly done. Well smoked.I had brined them, then smoked and air fried them, tossed in Buffalo sauce with blue cheese? So much flavor. Better than the wings I’ve had at other places that do the same thing. I’ll fry them longer, maybe hit them with baking powder and oil for the next time, but I have to make my Buffalo sauce thicker and more robust as well. The flavor of the smoke really added to the wings and I’ve not ever been so satisfied with non deep fried wings!I’ll update if I need to. Already bought a small Brisket, going to defrost the pork ribs, get a pork butt and try it all!What I’d like to see in the next version. Have the “smoker” be offset a bit. Also have the smoke be dialable. You get heavy smoke at high temps but that’s not ideal for long smokes.Make the hopper larger and have a separate control for smoke. That way you can have a cool surface and smoke it convection style with an offset smoker so you can dial in the amount of smoke and temp you want.It’s still an amazing machine for apartment owners. But I’d like to see those things and would happily pay extra for the implementation. That way the pellets would stay smoking heavy and evenly, a deep dark smoke ring instead of some smoke flavor (it’s great flavor don’t get me wrong) but that would make it perfect for 1-2 people and increase it acceptance in the smoking community. Yes, there’s a community of meat smokers.

I have the XL grill at home and wanted to take it with me to our vacation home in Cabo. I thought I was buying the XL again but somehow got this one and I am so happy we did.... And here's 3 reasons why1. Cost is $300 so under the limit for importing this to Mexico with no taxes (be sure to have a screen shot of your receipt- you will need it)2. Weight is under 50 pounds in the original package, so it can be shipped as luggage without any issue or extra charge. We did remove the pellets and put them in another checked bag.3. We had been considering a $10,000 built in BBQ on our condo deck in Mexico but we used this last month and it was perfect for making 2 large steaks and veggies.. when we packed up to go home, we just cleaned, covered and placed in the kitchen out of the elements. It was the perfect addition to our vacation home and I don't have any desire for the built in anymore...Next trip I will bring the Ninja Stand down with us for even more comfort but it worked great on the wooden patio furniture (that we used on this first test)My only comment is you probably need a good extension cord (which I had for my laptop) to have maximum flexibility.. the cord is shortThe clean up is easy.The temp probe works flawless and makes cooking simple and precise ( I do miss the app that works with the XL ) but this is still easy to useThe set up is simple .. add pellets, hit ignite and then choose your cooking temp.I think this would be great for small RVs .. and even for those of you with a Class A who miss your smoker at home ... You will need power but you probably have solar or hook ups so no worries there.

Ninja makes great products, and the Ninja Woodfire Pro Outdoor Grill is no exception.This little grill is electric, easy to clean up, and small enough to move around.It’s a Smoker, Air-fryer, Grill, Dehydrator, Broiler, and more. The pro model includes a cooking probe which is pretty accurate for checking food temps.There is also a “Cold Smoke” setting if you like to smoke cheeses.Pros:Easy to use, cooks fast, accurate built in thermometer on the Pro model, time and temperature controls, convenient All-In-One appliance, and has the great quality control Ninja is known for.The Air-fryer setting on this grill is amazing, very fast and cooks evenly. The Fryer Basket is large enough to keep the chicken wings flowing from this little powerhouse.The Dehydrator is great, works well, so no need for that extra appliance to purchase.The Smoker portion of this grill uses pellets to add that “Smokey” flavor to your foods.No need to worry about having a full propane tank or charcoal on hand.Cons:Hard to get the “Smoke Ring” on your meats that a traditional smoker gives but it does penetrate the meat with the pellet flavors.Cold smoker temperature does not go low enough but does ok for cheeses, it makes the cheese a little soft during the smoking process, but it definitely adds a great smoke flavor.This little grill is great for a gathering of up to 4 and possibly 6 people, for more than that the Ninja Woodfire Pro XL would be a better choice.I also recommend picking up a Cover for the grill if you are leaving it outside. The cover does a great job protecting it from the elements.I did not rank as a 5 Star because of the minor cons listed above, other than that this is a solid buy for your home grilling needs.

This is great smoker/grill. Very easy to use and creates a wonderful meal.

If you love grilling, smoking, any type of outdoor cooking while Camping or at the deer lease or even at your home but don't want the long cook times, grab one of these baby's. We are full time RV'ers and this woodfire grill is a game changer. I can smoke BBQ in a fraction of the time on this sucker than what I could on my pit when we lived in a house. Any meat I have cooked on it has been perfect and has never been dried out or too tuff. This thing grills, smokes, bakes, roasts, and air fries all in one. I haven't made a meal on it yet that I was disappointed in. The griddle plate is also great for cooking breakfast while glamping in that rv. Clean up is easy, you wipe down the inside of the lid and wash off the griddle or grill plate or air frying basket. Some Assembly is required but anyone can do it with the step by step instructions they give you. The thermometer the pro comes with works flawlessly when cooking the perfect steaks. Ninja also has a collapsible table for it (sold separately) that I will be getting for it because it looks to be the perfect addition to make this a complete set. I swapped this out for my blackstone and won't go back. Best bang for your buck hands down.

First let me start by saying that mu husband and I, have never thought we would be buying a electric grill. We hear so many negative things vs the traditional way but this has turned me into a believer. This thing is amazing! We love it and it fits our needs perfectly. We have added smoked to just about anything such as shrimp, chicken kabobs, hots dogs. The air fryer function works great! The fries came out nice and crispy . We smoked wings and then finish them off in the air crisp setting. We also smoked spare ribs just over the 4th of July and damn! They were luscious, fall off the bone. It is a a bit of learning curb still. We haven't used all the other functions but used it enough to make a review. It's also light and very portable. Eye catching and very beginner friendly. Fun to use. We took it to a cookout and everyone asked about it and It stood up the charcoal grilled being used that day. I would say if you have small space , for small gatherings it's perfect.

Exelente compra, funciona muy bien y es muy versátil

So good food with this - absolutely better than a standard BBQ !
