Ninja Woodfired Cooking

[sheridany]

here’s another begininja question. Do you add the pellets prior to preignition or when you the add the food. The pellet chamber is small and you will go through pellets quick.

 

[Neal]

My understanding is add prior to cook so it's armed and ready and it doesn't use much like other smokers we are accustomed to. Awaiting the experts' response.

 

[sheridany]

I also imagine using the smoke setting is really the only “low and slow” (good for brisket and pork butts) versus grill or bake.

 

[Texas Clodhopper]

I've only used the smoke setting a couple of times and I did load the pellets before ignition. They will smoke for about 30 -45 minutes. Remember, the initial smoke may be dirty smoke. That's why I always let my pellet smoker burn for a few minutes before I put the food on.

Grill on.

Has anyone used the "flat top griddle"? I have a Blackstone both at home and in the motorhome but I'm thinking about getting the flat top and leaving the Blackstone home this summer.

Watching...my blackstone has been in my garage for some time, I'm on the thinning out mode and reducing the basement collections. Link to griddle for the XL?

I like it! I see there is also a combo grill/griddle. Hmmm

I see a stacker trailer in your future.

 

[Neal]

Yeah, so much for that thinning out the basement concept.

 

[sheridany]

He’s going to need a double stacker.

 

[sheridany]

Going to make this tomorrow night. Use any rub you like.

Question:

Is most of the heat coming from the grid?

After my experience with the trager, and the forest service, I didn't think I would want a repeat!!!

Yeah we have a Blackstone as well. Two burner with the stand.

Mentioned the griddle plate for the Ninja and the wife was not interested.

She uses all of the blackstone too when making fried rice and other things. Don’t think even the XL size would give her the room she likes.

Depending on what you like to cook the Ninja may work quite well as a griddle.

I mainly cook breakfast and smash burgers on my Blackstone but I don't see any reason I can't do that with my Ninja.

I realized this morning, the Ninja will not be big enough to cook 3 pancakes, 3 sausage patty's, and 3 eggs all at the same time. One of the many things I like about the Blackstone is that everything can come off simultaneously. My wife likes her food to be hot.

 

[Neal]

I’ve been doing more of that inside on the cooktop. If I’m going to stay somewhere a month or longer I’d take it probably. If I’m just roaming I’ll go light.

Far from Ninja status. We did the stuffed pork tenderloin. Smoker setting. Medium rare which is 145. It said pull them to rest at 122. It never got to 145 during rest. I decided to put it back on lo grill mode and bring the temp up to 145 and then I pulled them. I need some more practice or I need to move to Texas and moochdock off @Texas Clodhopper to watch the ninja master.
