Loved cooking on a Weber big bbq with lid. Cannot beat the charcoal effect. However it is very anti social getting the charcoal going. Neighbours windows and doors being slammed as the charcoal got going. So we have invested in a Weber electric. You can add wood chips to add flavour so it’s ok but not like the real thing.

I bought a Ninja wood fire grill last year as i have 2 young children and couldn’t be @rsed with firing up the charcoal when we just wanted something quick and easy.
With the smoker option and wood pellets it does give you a ‘BBQ taste’ and I found an independent outlet online that does ninja compatible wood pellets with a wide range of different flavours at a fraction of Ninja’s costs.
I’ve mostly done basic stuff. Burgers, hot dogs, kebabs and ribs. We’re very happy with the results. Using the app you can just fire it up and leave it to get on with other things and be more sociable. I’d recommend.

Recently got ours and have cooked a few easy bits and pieces. Have used the wood pellets, but I have to say that we haven’t tasted any smoky flavour at all. Have to keep persevering.

Re Ninja Smoker, Grill, Air Fryer, Roast, etc. Purchased ours for £199 from Amazon last July. Special price.
Same here. Someone here did try and give me advice but I got nowhere. Lots of smoke but when you start cooking all the smoke has gone.
Anyway, I've already used it a lot during the warm spell recently and will use it again this weekend. Aldi/Tesco ribs (£4.50) on the air fry setting are wow. Burgers and sausages cook easy with timers. Don't treat it just as a BBQ but a complete kitchen for cooking. We do also have an 80cm fire pit style charcoal BBQ which we've used when entertaining many guests, but even then some items went in the Ninja. Ours is kept outside all summer and no problems, I purchased the genuine cover for it. I also had to put in an electric socket on the wall, but that was easy.
But would I spend over £400 on one - never.
EDIT And as I wrote this a 10% OFF email came through.

Just carry your cooker outdoors and plug it in.

What could possibly go wrong?

Wow, that was a good price. I think we paid £299. Already have outside points, but bought the cover. Also have a Weber charcoal bbq, but the Ninja is really good if we CBA to light the Weber. Going to try slow cooked pork joint soon, but will have to get a digital meat thermometer first.
