Hubby & I got the XL Pro Connect. Upped my grill game! The app is easy to follow w tips & recipes. I grilled (w smoker) seasoned, skinless breasts using thermometer probes. Followed the app prompts exactly. OMG! Tender, flavorful and JUICY! Worth every damn dime! Get one.

All good information in this video. Only issue I have is with the Pecan Shell pellets. For me these are hard to lite and hard to keep lit during the cook in my wood fire grill. I have to mix 50/50 with 'regular' pellets to get better success liteing and keeping burning.

I'm getting mine on Sunday, that's what the delivery date is. You said the temperature probes weren't accurate on the XL pro or something to that matter. Have you done a probe/ Bluetooth probe comparison in the same piece of meat to see ant disparity between the 2 different temperature probes? That would be interesting.

@PeterMossUkulele Ай бұрын

Hello from the UK. Great video man. I am seriously considering one of these products. I would probably keep it outdoors so the Ninja cover is a must. I have a question about the Ninja stand. Is that an essential purchase or could any stable table do the job? - Thank you. Peter.

@warrenblacking 11 күн бұрын

Got the XL a few days back, so far smoked ribs and a whole chicken (in one hour!) - fantastic product, fantastic results, thanks to you for your guidance. Here's a question: I've used the "smoker" mode both times. If instead of using "smoker" mode I used "roast" mode but added smoke while roasting is there some difference in results? I don't see why there needs to be two paths to adding smoke........

I received the XL wireless version for christmas and so far have followed your videos to make pulled pork twice with excellent results! I stopped at Costco tonight to get some pork belly to follow your video from a year ago but they had cut it long ways so the belly is only about 1" thick. Is that normal? The pork belly you have in the video appears to not be cut. I asked the butcher and he said they do not cut it in 2" thickness.

I get the same stuff from Costco. Maybe it was just a thinner belly. Not sure though.

Cj I just got the pro connect xl. I hit the woodfire flavor button. It lights up but I'm not seeing any smoke. I filled it w half pellets.(doing chx breast like your other video). It went through ign process etc. Just see zero smoke. When I look in hopper looks like 1 pellet is charred. Rest look prestine. Any suggestions? I did hold the button for 3 sec to try and reignite. All it did was go through same process.

@LinuxDaily 4 ай бұрын

The only time i dont wait for the ignition cycle is when im doing beef jerky. I put the jerky on cold with the dehydrator setting, and let it do the ignition cycle with the jerky in to give it that extra smoke flavor right at the beginning. all the other stuff i do on it, i let it go through and then put it on. I'm on a budget so instead of an instant read thermometer. i just use one of those old school analog ones with the dial on the top lol Ive never brought my woodfire indoors, it lives outside. even in the cold iowa winter we just had. it survived the week of -20 degree weather with 23 inches of snow. Though i do keep it in the cover on the ninja brand stand, probably would have damaged something without that.
