Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Grill
For this recipe, I used my Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Grill, which is a new offering from the kitchen appliance brand that makes our beloved favorites, the Ninja MaxXL Air Fryer and the Ninja Creami. The Woodfire Grill is a portable outdoor grill with 7 functions: grill, smoke, air fry, bake, roast, broil, and dehydrate.
Why I Like It
It imparts an amazing amount of woodfire flavor into the food with just 1/2 cup of pellets.
It’s incredibly fast and efficient.
It cooks faster and with more smoker flavor than my full-size smoker – by far.
There’s no guessing, especially with the built-in temperature probe available on the Pro version.
The food comes out with a perfect crispy or seared exterior that’s both gorgeous and super tasty.
It’s very portable and can be set up anywhere on a sturdy surface with a power outlet nearby.
