When I have gone to large BBQ, the food is usually done IN aluminum trays, and they're working on the next batch. Also, there is a rack you get more than two slabs. I have the larger one that fits two slabs if ribs.
If it’s of help to anyone, I’ve just measured mine. Width including handles 60cm -front to back closed 50cm. - front to back open 58cm. - bottom to top closed 40cm. - Bottom to top open 55cm. Hope that’s helpful
Picked up one for $200. It works. Just learn to dial in the settings to your likings. I’m going to try cheaper pellets which some channels have compared and recommended.
Just saw this review, I have to say, your analysis of whether one should buy it was very good, used your own experience etc. great to see on a YT video.
I do like the idea, especially with the other functions it has, but for me it takes the fun out of a BBQ. Especially at how expensive they are if you already have a BBQ setup. Doesn't take much to light some coals really, and an extra 20/30mins? Not the end of the world against a £350 machine that takes power... Better things to spend/save my money for.
Thats my gripe too mate - i do like the idea of it - but then its the ballache of having to take a power supply everywhere too, that anker power supply hes got it rigged upto isnt exactly small and portable is it when your lugging that AND the ninja about.
In my experience, anything you cook on a Ninja will always be the best version you've tasted. Barbecuing is so hit and miss, and honestly pretty stressful. I'm not proud, this would suit me down to the ground!
Used mine for the second time yesterday. Didn’t burn hardly any of the pellets and food wasn’t very smoky. Filled them to top. Maybe they had got damp? I’m sure the fan wasn’t as loud this time . Is there a way to tell if fan is working ?
@@BackpackingUK hi Andy I agree I’ve used this for the past few days doing different foods , I paid £290 for it which was a bargain as my son used his student discount , thanks again for a great video 😊😊
Just bought one from Donaghy Bros based in NI. Free delivery to Anywhere in the U.K. £271.12. Ordered it 2 hours ago 3rd Aug 2023 and just received an email that it’s been dispatched. I’ve bought before from this company and their very very good. I paid with PayPal and got 4 months interest free credit.
@@WanderFeetChronicles It is real and not an advertisement, and I’ve the receipt to prove it. Just go on line to see for yourself, but then what would I expect from a Scouser.
Hi Andy. Great stuff! Quick question: Do you think you can use this inside (when not using the smoking function)? I'd love to bring this inside for winter and use it as an indoor grill/air fryer.
There’s no reason not too so long as you don’t use the smoker although even that wouldn’t matter if under a kitchen extractor. As it’s all electric, no gas it’s just brilliant and safe. Bought mine from Donaghy Bros in NI. Great company and their price is £271.12 delivered anywhere in U.K.
Can this he used in the rain? The specs and other reviews say it can be kept outdoors in the rain but want to check if anyone has actually run one when. Its been raining.
I'm considering getting this, it seems like to be the only electric grill that will give you a true BBQ taste thanks to the smoker function. Is that a fair assessment? I'm worried to get disappointed as it's awfully expensive here in my country. When opening the lid, is there a catch for the dripping? Or does it drip onto the table?
thank you , eeeeee ive just bought one from ninja..... i got the stand and cover ., they have dropped in price . thanks for your recommendation cheers stu
I was going to buy one for the caravan... but I'm glad I saw this review as I don't want it cooking fast ... so I won't be buying one ... I love ninja but I don't think this is for me ... thanks for saving me £300 charcoal all the way
Wondering about dimensions when the lid is open. Have considered buying one plus a stainless cabinet for it to sit on, but concerned about how much the measurement is from front feet to the back if the lid is completely open. Want to snug it up to an exterior wall, but also wan to get a cabinet deep enough to handle it. Any idea? thanks.
@@BackpackingUK Not on their specs or website anywhere, that's why I asked. Another UA-cam video contributor answered my question, measured with lid open. Thanks for your response.

If you only have a balcony then a regular BBQ with an open flame would likely be prohibited. Electric grills would be fine though, so maybe this is a good option to get that smokey BBQ flavour.
@@BackpackingUK I am tempted to buy it, as I can't imagine it smoking too much unless you really ramp the temp up with a fatty item like a steak or pork chop. Ahh decisions decisions! Thanks bud, really enjoy your videos.
@BackpackingUK I brim mine and it still only burns a few at the top. Might be storage issues where I store them in my shed, they might be a little bit damp 🫤
Andy, great review and thank you, certainly worth a thought. As an alternative for family camps did you give any thought to using a Traeger Ranger (North of £500 however) see Riverside BBQ centre is a great place to buy it too, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts, also the Weber Go-anywhere is a great little portable too, Cheers.
I was looking at the gas Go Anywhere’s to take to parks, the beach, holidays, etc. Sometimes you just want quick and easy hence why I was looking at them. Might still get one, we bbq a fair bit.
This appears to be some other cooking gimmick that makes no difference at all, just like the Ooni. Unnecessary, but flashy looking paired with marketing for sales. No one will be talking about this next year.
Hi. Thanks for posting the video. I have a question. Can you slow cook on these? Say for example I wanted to do a pulled pork (whilst smoking) could this be done say over like a few hour period whilst topping up the pellets? Hope this makes sense. Cheers
When a large gathering i precook all on bbq, then when it’s time pop all back in the basket to reheat, works a treat. We use do do this a the kids school bazar when we ran a bbq, all be it that the food was precooked in the oven at home. Had too or land up poisoning the parents. 😂 some might think that wasn’t a bad idea. 🙄🙄🙄

I love the camera angle 😂😂😂 makes it look huge lol
I like the smoker function where it goes directly into cooking after the pellets ignite.
Can’t do “low & slow” at 120°C. Why did they restrict the UK version? So annoying. Any tips to actually be able to slowly smoke something at 105°C?
I only watched the first 60secs but that thing is massive!
Nice one Andy. Just bought mine. Great review.
So funny how each syllable of each word matches this dudes hand movements throughout 😂

Thanks 🦾
Just bought one of these. Is medium the best setting for burgers and chicken?? How do you know what setting is best ?
From memory I do chicken on medium for 10 minutes. Burger can go medium or high. High gives them a nice crust but I do them for 8 mins instead.
Why is the display screen so fast?
That’s just my iPhone trying to record the LCD display.
Can use indoors
Possibly over an extract 🤷🏻♂️
If you don’t use the timer etc will it not make the beeping noise worried constant beeps will annoy the neighbours and us for that matter
You have to use the timer to activate the programs.
Trust me you'll learn to love those beeps. They are not that frequent. It sounds a lot here due to the time cuts.

I wish I'd purchased the stand. I sit in on a fold out table which is ok but not great.
Why not just use wood as its plentiful and cheaper?
If you only have a balcony then a regular BBQ with an open flame would likely be prohibited. Electric grills would be fine though, so maybe this is a good option to get that smokey BBQ flavour.
The hole idea is not to use that
Question for you mate if I may? Can this be used indoor, for non smoke based cooking?
Several people have asked this. Personally, I think it’s possible with a good extractor fan.
@@BackpackingUK I am tempted to buy it, as I can't imagine it smoking too much unless you really ramp the temp up with a fatty item like a steak or pork chop.
Ahh decisions decisions!
Thanks bud, really enjoy your videos.
Could you fit whole chicken in there ( small-medium one )?
100% 👍
Can you cook on it without using the smoker and pellets?
Yes, absolutely 👍
@@BackpackingUK Thanks, so it can be left outside on the stand with the cover on in all kinds of weather?
Do you find the the smoker doesn't burn all of the pellets in the side hopper?
I found the smoker must be full to the brim to burn all the pellets. If you half fill it they don’t burn properly. I’m guessing there’s a sensor?
@BackpackingUK I brim mine and it still only burns a few at the top. Might be storage issues where I store them in my shed, they might be a little bit damp 🫤
What kind of draw does it take from your portable battery pack Andy?
I'm not going to lie, it draws a lot! It fluctuates a lot too. However, I got 5 BBQ's from a full-charge of my portable power station.
@@BackpackingUKwhat is the capacity of the battery you were running it off?
Andy, great review and thank you, certainly worth a thought. As an alternative for family camps did you give any thought to using a Traeger Ranger (North of £500 however) see Riverside BBQ centre is a great place to buy it too, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts, also the Weber Go-anywhere is a great little portable too, Cheers.

No. You wouldn’t BBQ indoors so using a smoker isn’t a good idea either.
This appears to be some other cooking gimmick that makes no difference at all, just like the Ooni.
Unnecessary, but flashy looking paired with marketing for sales.
No one will be talking about this next year.
Is the smoky flavor like the charcoal flavor ? Or it. Is différent ? Thank you. Merci beaucoup
It’s much more of a woody flavour than a burnt charcoal flavour.
@@BackpackingUK ok i will buy this because charcoal is too dificult
Can u buy the smoked pellets any where
Not anywhere, but they’re available online.
Hi. Thanks for posting the video. I have a question. Can you slow cook on these? Say for example I wanted to do a pulled pork (whilst smoking) could this be done say over like a few hour period whilst topping up the pellets? Hope this makes sense. Cheers
Yes, definitely!
I have an anker 767. how much battery did it use at the end
I got 4-5 bbq’s out of it. However, for some reason it doesn’t always switch on first time when using the Anker. I never did work out why?
Loved the review matey but that volume needs sorting out.
What power for the power bank mate
You need a BIG power bank as the surge is quite high.
so to use it outdoors you have to buy a generator of some sorts, costly
Or simply, an extension lead.
what about if your down on the beach or in a park@@BackpackingUK
@@ianmathieson1101 It’s not really meant for that use.
ok still looks good, i`ve got a ninja airfryer wouldn`t be with out it,great bit of kit@@BackpackingUK

Basically an indoor grill with messy pellets. It's a no from me.
How are they messy ?
Zero mess. However, you're sort of correct comparing it to an indoor grill, it's a hybrid of an indoor Ninja and BBQ.
If used for periods of time using the pellets without immediately cleaning, that area becomes quite dirty.
@@BackpackingUK the problem iv got is that the Ninja AG651UK Air Fryer has a bbq function on it too!
