Ninja Woodfired Cooking

Excellent in cooking a rib roast too. Outstanding taste and results.

Update on the meatloaf…

Kona Hickory pellets
185 for an hour smoking
Temp to 325 for about 45 minutes to get to 160 on the ninja temp probe.

Came out great.

For time on the old Traeger I used the above but the 325 portion was for 1.5 hours so about 45 minutes faster on the Ninja.

Normal meatloaf recipe but will post the wife’s later.

Well...here we go again! Costco organic (most expensive) wings. NWG, air fry, 400 degrees, with a light smoke (I like apple), 26 minutes. But first! Wash those nasty bird parts and dry thoroughly. Nope - drier than that! Then, put the nice, clean bird parts in the fridge for a couple hours, uncovered - the goal is to make them even drier. No seasoning, no BS, just dry wings in the air fryer basket, but only one level deep.

Enjoy!

On task for tomorrow. Judgment day for wings!

Me too! Since I don't have the wealth of @GlampDaddy , I thought I would need a payday loan to get out of Costco.

@GlampDaddy , did you fill the pellet hopper full? I got the pack of assorted pellets this week so I will try the apple.

So Ninja users, we (me) seem to be stuck on a few things to cook on the Ninja grill/smoker. So far to date I've done steak, chicken, wings, salmon, and pork chops. What have you done and what can be done that we should venture into? I need to start watching more of CJ or other YouTubers on Ninja cooking and broaden my horizons. I love this thing and need to figure out more things to cook.

Brownies!

Laced? Asking for a friend.

Wings came out okay. First time I used the basket and that worked well so I didn't have to flip them. I didn't care for the Apple pellets as I prefer a stronger smoke flavor. All in all, no complaints from the crowd, twas good.

If you want strong try Mesquite pellets.

We did some using those and were strong the day we cooked them. Second day the leftovers were so strong we couldn’t eat them

 

[Texas Clodhopper]

My wings were just ok. Like @Neal , I think I will use a stronger pellet next time.

Saturday, I cooked thick cut bone-in pork chops seasoned with SPG, which were amazing. I've never had a pork chop that tender and moist.

Yep, makes Pork Chops good for once. Which pellet flavor did you use? Liking the Kona pellets I hope?

 

[Texas Clodhopper]

I used Cherry. I cooked on LO with smoke. Turned once, removed at 150, and rested for about 5 minutes.

I like the Kona pellets. They are smaller length-wise than what I've been using and seem to light and burn better. I didn't realize they come in a zip-loc type bag which is nice.

 

[Neal]

Did Pork Chops tonight, also used Cherry (low grill with smoke). I removed at 147 and let rest and I'd say that was too long for me. It was on the medium to well done, more medium, but I like it more juicy. Next time I'll probably remove around 135 and let rest.

How did you like the cherry?
