We loved the Ninja Woodfire, scoring it a perfect five stars in our review.

Nevertheless, on a personal level, Id remained largely unconvinced by Ninjas outdoor cookers until now.

There are a few further accessories you might need, however.

Above the control panel is the lid handle, which stays cool even after longer cooking periods.

One of the biggest drawbacks of the entire Woodfire product line is that none of the accessories are dishwasher-safe.

Regardless, the speed with which Ninjas Woodfire cookers can work while still creating delicious food is incredibly impressive.

The results overall were spectacular.

Should I buy?

You barely have to worry about the food while its cooking, especially when using the smart thermostat.
