Ninja Woodfired Cooking

I am here to report the epic fail of Kona grill mats. As @Neal mentioned in a previous post they looked dubious at working. The kicker was the promoted grill marks failed to appear and I knew I was doomed when I opened the lid and the grill mat was lodged in the roof of the grill. When the food was presented the DW casually commented I was skating on thin ice with no grill marks on the fish. She started reaching for her phone to contact door dash and I convinced her to give it a chance. Those grill mats now have a new home in the trash dumpster at the park. My Amazon privileges have been suspended indefinitely. There is some good news. The griddle worked really well making a smorgasbord of veggies and potatoes prior to the epic fail. Whoever mentioned using the low setting was spot on. We try again tomorrow. Back to using the regular grill.

I've told you and told you but I will tell you again...low and slow. Some people are slow learners.

Your grill grate may messed up grilling tofu too much.

I just wanted less mess to clean the grill which is the reason for the grill mats. Especially when we are traveling. Lesson learned.

Hey peeps, here is a very good recipe for cooking brisket on the Ninja. Enjoy!

You can cook THIS brisket!

Brisket is one of the most feared cooks in BBQ. Sadly (and undeservedly), it’s been blown up into an ominous, temperamental monster, spreading fear and worry throughout the lands. This is due in large part to the widespread proliferation of myths, wive’s tales, and all manner of nonsense...

This was one of the better written recipes I've seen. Wayne Granzin is one of the moderators on the Ninja Woodfired Outdoor Community FB pages.

interesting article on wrapping brisket. I am sure Jim has strong opinions on this.

Why It's A Big Mistake To Wrap Brisket With Foil - Tasting Table

Brisket is tricky to get just right. Even if you've pulled off a perfect crust and packed the meat with flavor, using the wrong wrap material can ruin it.

I'm a little disappointed! I quit using aluminum foil for the same reason I quit using aluminum cookware! I thought that point would have been mentioned, but nope!

@sheridany, I had a big stick burner at my ranch and would load it up with briskets ribs, and sausages. The only checking I did was keeping a good bed of coals. I would sometimes move the briskets around because of hotspots in the smoker. I never spritzed or wrapped.

With my Traeger or my Green Mountain pellet smokers, I wrap in butcher paper @ 165 ℉.

I'm not sure I will ever cook a brisket in the Ninja because I usually cook a 12-14# brisket.

OMG!!!!! Someone just posted on the Ninja FB page the recipe for "WHITE" sauce for chicken. @sheridany, there are at least two of you.
