Is anyone else found the woodfire oven interesting? Seems like both can smoke meat, but the other stuff might make the difference. The oven looks bigger, but not really sure. It can also keep meat at holding temp.

$299 at Sam's club right now. Good price or not? Asking for a friend. No, really have a friend interested in a small, somewhat portable grill. I guess it won't work for camping in most cases?

Yes that's a good price. Ninja's price on that one is $329 and it doesn't come with the cover.
I wouldn't expect a camp site to have 1750 watts of electricity available to a camper.

Finally broke down and ordered this using some Amazon gift cards I got, looking forward to playing with it. I’m hoping that it’s easy enough to use my wife is comfortable using it. Arrives tomorrow!

When I opened the Sams link above it has them for 269.00. Its not the Pro model but still a great deal.
At one point this Summer Amazon was claiming, "600+ sold in the last 30 days".
I still have zero complaints. Looking forward to your thoughts & experiences.
This must be what the one poster was talking about testing. Apparently Ninja gave a bunch of people these things to try out and review. Supposedly gets up to 700°

Used it the first time today as a "smokey air fryer" to cook some chicken wings I marinaded overnight in an oil slurry with Albukirky Green Chile seasoning.
About halfway through the cook:
Two minutes left:
Done:
Observations: the air fryer function worked great, it's quieter than my Ninja Foodi indoor air fryer, and has higher capacity. I used the more bold sample pellets it came with, and there was certainly a smoke flavor present in 20 minutes of cooking. I'm not sure I enjoyed the smoke though, it was almost too much, maybe slightly bitter? I'm not writing it off yet but I'm wondering if I'll ultimately find a place for it in my toolbox of cookers or not. I'd have enjoyed these wings more on my Weber kettle vortex or indirect on the Primo. Both are varying degrees of less convenient, though.

Didn't care for the pellets that came with the thing either...threw them out. Bought a bag of Pit Boss cherry and a bag of pecan from BBQr's Delight...quite happy with those.Used it the first time today as a "smokey air fryer" to cook some chicken wings I marinaded overnight in an oil slurry with Albukirky Green Chile seasoning.

Very impressed to get great wings in 20 minutes. Flats only with Yardbird.

Interesting, I guess I’ll try another brand. I thought I read in the manual that the sample bags were Bear Mountain, which I used quite a bit back when I had a pellet grill, and I still have a bag of competition blend in my garage for the smoke tube.
Put one on order today.
Did ribs for the 1st time using the gadget. Simply Marvelous Santa Maria. Cherry pellets. Hour and 45 minute total cook time. Coworker gave me a bottle of BBQ sauce his brother makes so put that on for the last 10 minutes.
Very good. Some of the best ribs I ever made. Again, appreciate the simplicity and quickness the device provides.

Your ribs look great! Did you use smoke setting at 250? Thanks
Thanks. Smoke setting at 295.
Don't need the capacity or wireless. Pretty cool, nonetheless.

The specifications don't say much. It's not really clear how it differs from the previous Pro model.
