THE VERSATILITY OF THE NINJA WOODFIRE ELECTRIC BBQ GRILL & SMOKER PUTS IT IN A LEAGUE OF ITS OWN FOR COOKING ON THE ROAD

-  GLENN MARSHALL

WHILE the Ninja Woodfire Electric BBQ Grill & Smoker has garnered considerable attention from those with a passion for outdoor cooking at home, I initially wondered if there was a place for it in a camping environment. Sure, it's packed with innovative features and has the ability to infuse authentic smoke flavours into food, but it is quite heavy and can have a high power draw in some cooking modes.

Despite the weight, the Ninja Woodfire has a sleek and compact design, which will please those with limited space for storage and who enjoy grilling on the go.

One of the standout features is the Woodfire's portability. It has been designed to be easily transportable, whether you're heading to the beach, a picnic or are off on a camping trip. Importantly, this compact design does not compromise the cooking surface, which is spacious enough to accommodate various types of food, from steaks and burgers to vegetables and seafood. Additionally, it features sturdy legs that provide stability on different surfaces, ensuring a safe cooking experience.

The most unique feature of the Ninja Woodfire is that it uses real wood pellets to impart a rich, smoky flavour to food, a characteristic that sets it apart from traditional gas or charcoal grills. This woodfire flavour is one of the grill's main selling points, providing a distinctive taste that is as close as you can get to a full-sized pellet smoker.

The Ninja Woodfire has multiple cooking modes that include grilling, smoking, air frying, roasting, baking and dehydrating.

It also has a reheat mode. This versatility allows you to experiment with different cooking techniques and recipes, making it an all-in-one outdoor cooking solution.

The digital control panel is intuitive and user-friendly, enabling precise temperature control and monitoring, which reduces guesswork and ensures consistent results. It even tells you when to ADD FOOD, when to GET FOOD and what the REST TIME is.
