    How do you grill with the lid open? Just got mine and excited to use it based on your review. Thank you

    • @DadGotThis
      @DadGotThis  Місяць тому

      The only way it works with the lid open is in the Grill setting. In that setting it does not yell at you to close the lid all the time. It basically heats the bottom grate. I did notice from a user comment that it also does run the fan when you close the lid in the grill mode so it also circulates the air. You can also use the smoke feature in grill but it of course only adds smoke with the lid closed.

      Not all of them are but a lot of them are right now as I currently have the Woodfire original, the XL pro Connect, and the Outdoor oven that I have been using and testing. I also have a series I just started on Propane grilling. I also have older content on Instant Pot, Sous Video and other recipes. I plan on keeping up with at least 1 Ninja Woodfire video a week and then adding in additional content on other cookers and methods. Hopefully there will be something for everyone!

    DGT, Would a 12" diameter Pizza Stone fit in the XL on the standard Grill Plate; Also what smoker modes (Bake, Roast, etc) support a 500 degree internal temperature? I think you know where I am going with this....

    • @DadGotThis
      @DadGotThis  7 місяців тому +1

      I have totally thought about that too. I need to measure but I am not sure on any round stones fitting. Maybe if there was a rectangle one like my pizza steel I use. But that thing is very heavy and would scratch the heck out of the base. I have even wondered if just the flattop would do. The only mode that does 500 is broil though. That is the issue but the other go to 450. Which could get the job done.

    • @DadGotThis
      @DadGotThis  Місяць тому

      I have tested this. The only setting where it works with the lid open is the grill setting. However, if you have Woodfire on with the grill setting it will give you the close lid warning. If you turn off Woodfire, make sure flame icon is off, it will not.

      I know you cannot turn it on as the BT / WiFi is powered off. But can you turn the XL OFF by the App only, or do you have to do that operation in front of the Grill?

    • @DadGotThis
      @DadGotThis  7 місяців тому

      I have not tried that. I know you can stop the cooking. But not sure if you can actually turn the power off.

    • @raynewste-lx9xg
      @raynewste-lx9xg 7 місяців тому

      Discovered by accident, that the XL will automatically Power Off after 15 minutes when the cook cycle has ended. Project this week is to cut down the Pizza Stone from the 12x16" size to fit the Griddle pan opening dimentions.

    Reinstalling Bluetooth/wifi. Go to settings, your appliances, click on the grill, Appliance detail, delete appliance. That will take the app back to the beginning and allow you to do a complete set up. There is no other way.

    Great video on a great grill. It's pretty good, but it has it's issues & app is on ver1.01, so obviously needs work. The "dad shake" is actually necessary!!! It packs the pellets in better, keeps it smoking more reliably. If U don't do it then it might stop smoking, or smoke less, especially when you open the cover cause they roll to one side. Had it quit smoking several times, only way I've found is to note time left & restart the grill, grrrr! Yeah I agree the flip thing is annoying AF. Also I have never been able to connect it to WiFi & the BT connection is non-std to Android specs as it won't actually appear in you connected devices on BT! Shame! Do not put grill plate in the dishwasher! The top side would do just fine, the bottom is uncoated bare metal & will be quickly destroyed!
