One delighted customer said its “beats a real barbecue” adding “Absolutely amazing. Best buy ever. Using for apartment…no BBQs allowed. This is honestly superb.”
A second left a more detailed review saying “Absolutely brilliant. Blown away by how well it smokes pork shoulder and quickly serves up bbq on the grill. Yet to use airfry mode but will be a nice addition for camping. Had 8 bbqs in 6 days come rain or shine. Solid quality construction. Quick delivery and missing cover was dispatched at 4pm and arrived with the post at 11am the next day. Great customer service. I’ve been telling everyone I know to buy one.”
A third simply added “Fantastic piece of kit, without doubt the best bbq food ever cooked, absolutely everyone was astonished by the stunning food.”
A few users were, however, concerned that fast cooking times led to excess charring, with one saying “Just purchased the Ninja bbq cooked twice on it, my food is charing too quickly. 1st time lid down 2nd time lid open, cooked on low.”
Ninja is also currently offering £50 off the Ninja Woodfire Pro XL Electric BBQ Grill & Smoker, now on sale for £349.99.
While many people enjoy the convenience and flavor of electric BBQ grills, others prefer the traditional method of grilling over charcoal or gas. There is something special about the smoky flavor that comes from cooking over an open flame, and for many, it is an essential part of the grilling experience. However, not everyone has access to a traditional barbecue setup, especially those living in apartments or condos where rules prohibit the use of open flames.For those looking to enjoy the taste of traditional charcoal or gas grilling without the hassle of a bulky BBQ grill, there are portable options available that can help you achieve that authentic smoky flavor. One popular choice is the Smokey Joe Portable Charcoal Grill from Weber. This compact and lightweight grill is perfect for grilling on the go, whether you’re camping, picnicking, or simply cooking in a small outdoor space. The Smokey Joe features a durable porcelain-enameled bowl and lid, as well as a plated steel cooking grate that provides ample grilling space for burgers, hot dogs, steaks, and more.Another option for those seeking a more traditional grilling experience is the Cuisinart Portable Gas Grill. This sleek and stylish grill is designed for on-the-go grilling and features a compact design that is perfect for small outdoor spaces. With 145 square inches of grilling surface, the Cuisinart Portable Gas Grill offers plenty of room to cook for a small group of friends or family. The grill also features a powerful 5,500 BTU stainless-steel burner that heats up quickly and evenly, allowing you to grill your favorite foods to perfection.Both of these portable grills offer a convenient and affordable way to enjoy the taste of traditional charcoal or gas grilling without the need for a full-sized BBQ setup. Whether you prefer the convenience of electric grilling or the authentic flavor of cooking over an open flame, there is a portable grill option available to suit your needs. So grab your favorite grill tools, pick up some fresh ingredients, and get ready to enjoy delicious BBQ food wherever you go.
