Hi Larry. I was wondering, if you had topped off the pellets on the Ninja when you took a peek at the hopper, would the Ninja ribs have more of a smoky flavor. After all, the Kamoda had a constant smoke during the entire cook. I just set up my Ninja and have been perusing You Tube videos before trying it for the first time. Otherwise, thank you for this comparison.
Nice vid, good to see you using one rack of ribs for both instead of a separate rack for each, since its a comparison. Interesting to see different rubs on each side.
@@LARRYGBBQGUY that sounds like a great idea, I may have to try that next time. I normally do a savoury rack and a sweet rack but can never decide which I prefer🍻
If you were going to buy 1 which would you choose? Ive got a big gas grill which is great for ease with burgers and stuff but looking to add something for smoking.
Great question, for smoking and charcoal grilling, would definitely recommend Kamado Grill. Ninja is good for quick grill, smoking is ok ish. Tbh my kids loves the Ninja, as its being used by them everyday. Ninjas pros would be dehydration and air fry options, both are great, done some beef jerky. So for smoking definitely a Kamado grill. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for watching. Depends what Smoker/Grill you have? Personally i would do it on my Kamados, but definitely would try Ninja, knowingly that Kamado will give more smoke flavor. Also personal opinion that beef joints more for oven cooking, as they are very lean. But worth a try on charcoal too.
@@LARRYGBBQGUY Good morning Larry . We have a minimo and the limited, no Ninja’s in this house. We have cooked very lean pork with great success, but want to try Beef with Hickory and some fruit wood. Not sure of the rub though, Would you say similar times to pork ? Thanks Mel.
Unless electricity is very expensive for your area, the ninja is a fraction of the cost. I have a different electric smoker because it's much much cheaper
Thanks for the video! The ninja wood pellets are very substandard. I would guess they are about 30% actual hardwood. If you use something like Kona pellets or other high quality pellets, you get a much stronger and more flavorful smoke flavor!
thank you for watching, i did notice, couple of days ago i did some chicken thighs, i filled the pellet hopper with wood chips and slightly topped with pellets, and got better flavour results.
Nice video. If you can get hold of a different brand of pellets you may improve the results from the ninja. Their own pellets are “not good” to put it mildly. Even then it’s not going to out perform a live fire.
This is a great comparison but i dont think you can compare it that way. Pellet smoker (all of them) require stronger pellets and a bit longer unwrapped smoking time. I usually start at a lower temperature, about 85-90 degree and only for the second batch of pellets i raise the temp. Even in your comparison you cooked the ribs a bit longer on the Kamado while unwrapped . I've managed to get very similar flavors on the Ninja if not the same just using a bit different techniques.
Nice comparison to do. I can't understand how the ribs in the ninja reached 79 C, while the ribs in the Kamado were 61, yet they both finished at the same time? You could do with a wireless thermometer.
Hi. Thanks for watching. Ive got another comparison coming soon, slightly larger piece of meat, then will do with thermometer. Same here i was confused how they cooked different.

Very useful exersice my friend! Regards from Guadalajara Mexico!
thanks for watching, nice to see people in Mexico sees my videos
Nice vid, good to see you using one rack of ribs for both instead of a separate rack for each, since its a comparison. Interesting to see different rubs on each side.
thanks, i most of the time use two different rubs on ribs, top usually sweet ish, and bone side more savoury, nice combo.

Could you do a vid on which Pellets work best in your experience, Ninja ones seem expensive but it would be great to know what else is out there in UK
Great suggestion! That is something i will do. Thanks for watching
I heard pecans burn the longest. I'm also looking into charcoal pellets. Heard good things.
The Ninja pellets suck.They dont give that much smoke flavor. Kona pellets are significantly better.

Now add cost wise , how much coal cost , and how much power you used on ninja, and pellets , will be good to see that also
Thanks for watching, love the topic, will add that to my list of videos to do.

I have solar so this is perfect.
@@IAmTheGlovenorwhich one ?
@@jwillwork3683 I forgot, but I upgraded to the Ninja instead and it's outstanding

I hadn’t thought of that…Thanks!
@@bas4241 the only thing was, without topping up with pellets, there was a flame, as soon as topped with pellets it did stop flame stopped.

Thanks for watching,
Matter of fact ive run out of their pellets already, so definitely will try different brands.
Live fire and charcoal is the way
@@LARRYGBBQGUY I’d say the ninja exceeds expectations.
its definitely good electric grill, as no other electric grill can offer so much

@@Niveustube thanks for watching, i see where you coming from, i may try that next time, thanks
Super vidéo ❤
Thanks for watching, appreciate it
I do like the meat texture of Ninja @13:02. Great vid. Thanks for share
thanks for watching
How much I need to grill is head man like the cook was consistent to. I would’ve done it on a regular grill
Thanks for watching

@@LARRYGBBQGUY I think the Ninja cooks a little faster, maybe set the temp 5 degrees lower.
@@Triggaaar definitely cooks a lot faster. Will try. Thanks
i like your Kamado setup!
Thank you
You should a none bbq person to cook and see what they prefer
Thats not a bad idea 💡
