I've been on a cleaning quest, tried the Easy Off oven cleaner, and, well, let's just say it was a "grill of horrors" situation. The steam cleaner thought it could handle the challenge, but it was more like a spa day for the grill-nice try, though.
But then, like a beacon of hope in the cleaning aisle, I discovered the "Easy Off Cleaner Degreaser Heavy Duty" spray. 🚀✨ Now, we're putting it to the ultimate test, going head to head with a steam cleaner. It's a battle for the ages, folks!
Will Dad's new secret weapon be the grill savior we've all been waiting for, or will the steam cleaner reclaim its cleaning glory? There's only one way to find out, and you're invited to join the cleaning comedy chaos!

I just cleaned it by:
Placing a baking tray with a cup of lemon juice and water. Baked it for 15 min (bake settings).
After that things started coming right off with a basic scrubber.
Added vinegar to the cloth and it started to work really well
Perhaps a spray degreaser would help reaching into the fan so thank you for the tip
Good tip also on your end. I will have to give it a try.
The ninja grill is expensive . I always clean mine when I use it . I mix a part of water , a part of vinegar and half of dish soap put in a spray bottom , spray on it after cook off let sit for 10 minutes and wipe it down with paper towel . It is amazing
Great tip!
What about baking soda?
Just picked up a woodfire XL connect for Black Friday. Thanks Dad for all the great videos!
What deal were you able to get on the XL? I didn't see anything except for the regular size.
I use this exact same degreaser on our Woodfire... it's frickin amazing! I also clean mine every time I use it so I don't have a lot of work to do.
I ordered this cleaner from Amazon ~ used it today on my Woodfire ~ OMG, it is amazing! Thank you so much !!!
10,000 Amazon Ratings for 4 1/2 Stars. Can 't go wrong.
Thanks for the tips. I haven't had mine as long as you have, so maybe the cleaning will be easier and take less time. And I bought a different degreaser, since your video just came out and I was already preparing to clean mine. I hope it works just as well as your does.
Let me know if it does. Always good to have options in case I can’t find this one.
Great and comprehensive video covering all the (worse to best) options to deep clean the Ninja Woodfire Grill so thanks a lot 💯from Stockholm/Sweden 👏👍
B/c I didn't clean it after each session, the part beneath the resistance gathered some nasty +1cm thick gunk -> I'll try to soften it first by "steaming" it with a pot of boiling water for 30mins.
Not a bad idea.
Oh thank you so much!!! This really helps!❤
You're so welcome!
Awesome Dad! Thanks for the videos!
Glad you like them!
Excellent Video, I am impressed with the product and your previous video was great. This video is question asked and Answered . HOw the heck do you cllean this grill. Dude you knocked it out of the park. Thank you. I ordered mine tonite. thanks
Glad it was helpful!
I would've taken the grill grate plate out first lmao 🤣
Awesome video ! I've been looking for something to clean mine with . Thanks for the help brother
Glad I could help!
Awesome, thank you so much ✌🏼
You are welcome!
I just watched Web Spoon, the Russian kitchen hacks guy. He cleaned his oven with a dish washing tablet on a cookie sheet with boiling water poured on it, and then running the oven for 15 minutes. Mess seemed to wipe off easily. Also made spray cleaner from dishwasher tablets, too.
I will have to give it a try.
I Love all your bad Dad Jokes they remind me of all the bad JoJo Jokes I get on Twitter/X 😂🤣
I used the product you recommended from Lowe’s on my Ninja and it worked amazingly. Thank you for the tip. 👍
Glad to help!
Love those dad jokes!😂
Hahahaha
Ordered the Ninja Woodfire XL yesterday on HSN. Did a mountain of research on its use, but never thought of how to clean it. This video will definitely help out on trail & error methods of cleaning it. Who knew, a Degreaser was the answer. LoL. Simple enough & thx's for the video!!!
Glad I could help! The main thing is to not slack and clean it regularly.
I bought the today’s special on HSN too! I grilled chicken breast last night with the smoke. Definitely a learning curve. My model xl one doesn’t have dehydrating feature.
@@cherieweber9468 Are in in a different country than the United States possibly?
Glad I could be of help. I hope you stick around for some fun recipes!
Thanks for the tip on the degreaser and the air drying.
Any time! Be aware to try and not spin the fan with the air drying. I have had lots of people commenting that it is bad for the unit.
Ribs look great. I need to order the Ninja but just haven't pulled the trigger. Great channel
Thanks!
I just unboxed mine. I'm going to use the cleaner spray once a month. Thanks so much.
Good idea, I think if you keep up with it it will be much better than what I did.
Three uses and mine started to look grungy already! Thanks!!!
Happy cleaning!
@@DadGotThis It looks better every time I clean it. I am super excited I found this!
Dawn Power Wash spray and by refills. Cleans the bottom grate fine also. Apply when hot
Another option to try!
❤❤❤❤yes I gift me one the moment I saw them advertising the out side ninja grill stating that this ninja outside grill passed for us ppls that rent @ a complex apts we can use them outside on our patio's& I love love bbqiN that is one of my favorite things to do & I've only used it once & about ready to use it tonight but I needed to no how to clean it before I get it any dirtier I want to keep my as beautiful as I got it the first day .. & thank you for yo method of how & wat to use to keep it clean .. Iam fr 505 Albuquerque NM & my name is Paula again thank you very much
Well thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy the rest of the content.
I wonder if Weber's Grill grate cleaner works the same way. I used it on my regular smoker and it worked great.
I wonder, it would be nice to have multiple options.
Amazing thank you
No problem 😊
A good grill has a lil grease. It's OK. Lol
Mr. Clean magic eraser.
Soray food grade degraser on the grill, spray it down and use a Amazon steamer and it works great. No oven ckeaner
Thank you for your video, very, very hellpful
You are welcome!
Try Simple Green, great at cutting grease as well as being non-toxic and environmentally friendly.
I’ll give it a try. I used to clean my car with it.
Simple Green is GARBAGE does NOT work to even clean a mild amount of grease stuck on a stove.
I def agree soap n water does NOTHING. what do you think of pit boss grill/smoker degreaser and cleaner ?
I’ll have to grab some and try it!
Thank you very much for the explanation, why didn't they put a net on it that protects the fan on top like in other Ninja grills? Doesn't it damage the fan with all the oil that splashes on it while cooking?
Not sure of the why. My unit took quite a bit of abuse and still ran great.
@@DadGotThis Good to hear, just really curious why there isn't a dense mesh that protects the fan, so it also keeps a clean appearance
Thanks!
You rock!! Thank you. 🙏
Dawn and hot water
Thank, I was wondering how to clean it.
No problem!
The grill needs a good seasoning buildup to add more flavor to your meats and vegetables. No need to do a deep cleansing on a grill made to smoke foods.
We don't have this degreaser in the Netherlands. Any suggestions for a similar brand that isn't too aggressive?
I just bought some simple green I will update when I get a chance to try it.
NEVER EVER introduce chemicals into a complex food prep device that you can not fully hose out with a hose fed nozzle. Even then, there will probably be some residue left be hind.
A better solution is to get a spray bottle at your local hardware store and fill it with straight 180 proof grain drinking alcohol. After making sure the oven is cool, spray the insides robustly, then wipe the big stuff out with a towel. The food grade alcohol will evaporate quickly leaving no residue. Now, at this point your oven will still look black on the inside but all of the big greasy stuff will be cleaned out and your oven will cook just fine.
rocket
Good video. Try Vim boost with bleach. Purchase the tool to remove and clean the fan housing. Decreaser dish detergent also works(Dawn)
What is the tool?
What about a combo of the Easy Off and a Magic Eraser?
Never tried it but it might work.
So it actually still works after all that hosing? I see this is 4 month's old now. The fan still works and the bearings aren't shot yet from all the water? I'll be impressed if you're still using the same woodfire grill shown in this video. I have the Ninja Indoor Grill XL that looks almost as bad as your woodfire grill looked. I desperately need to clean it but I never dreamed it could handle that much spraying of water, steam, and degreaser. Thanks for the video. I feel inspired now. But I really would feel better about it if I knew for sure that the grill in this video is still in service. 🙂👍👌
Works perfectly. I don’t use the blower anymore since a few people said it was bad to do. I just wipe as best as I can and then run it on broil.
@@DadGotThis Wow thanks! That's great to know. I've been trying to figure out how to clean it without damaging the fan motor. I watched several UA-cam videos on how to do it but yours was the best. 😊👌 I feel inspired now to clean it so I think I will do that today. Thanks for your help and for a great channel. I can use many of your recipes and advice for my indoor grill as well. I'm sure someday I'll be the proud owner of a Woodfire grill too. 👍
So that does not hurt the non stick grill plate? Would you use the spray to clean that or would that be a bad idea since you actually cook on it?
There is no need to use it on the non stick grill plate. That comes clean so easily with just hot soapy water. I would not trust the degreaser to be safe for its finish and you eat food right off it so that would be sketchy in my opinion.
@@DadGotThis agreed and thank you for answering
Dawn Powerwash in the spray bottle ... 'BOOM'
I’m willing to try it!
Best way I found to do this is to apply degreaser, let it dwell for 15 minutes then hit it with a steam cleaner to blast away all the loosened grime. Then hit it with compressed air to dry it off and make sure there is no degreaser left in there.
You've got half a factory worth of machinery at home?
@@kralexprofill4571 What, you mean a steamer and a small compressor, hardly half a factory of equipment. It would come up a treat with a dry ice cleaning machine though.😉
HAHAHAHHA
what table are you using ?
This one! amzn.to/3VNUiEp
real good info on the pellets
Thanks!
For the fan, do not let it spin freely. It could possibly send electricity to whatever the PCB it uses it and fry it.
Oh, I did not know that. So don’t blow it with the blower?
@@DadGotThis Yes, or hold it in place so it isn't freely spinning. This is usually a bigger issue with computer fans as they're directly connected to the motherboard most of the time.
First thing I thought of when the blower came out ... "huh oh, he's gonna kill it!" :-P
Isn't that part of the seasoning?
From what I researched over time, smokers can accumulate grease, soot, tar, creosote, ash, and charred food particles. If you don't clean your smoker, these residues can affect the foods taste and effect the smokers performance.
By using a high speed blower on the fan, can and will cause the fan bearings to wear much faster than normal.
Thanks for the tip. Another user mentioned possibly burning out the board. I am careful not to blow the fan anymore and just dry that by hand.
If it has a temp sensor that's all that needs cleaned
Did your food have a residual taste after using?
None at all. I rinse it really well, run a high heat run with nothing in it to burn anything off after also. Never noticed anything at all.
well if it did you probably have not helped your lungs.
It’s meant for cleaning grills and appliances. I don’t see why this would be an issue.
Upon further reading of the label I see no reason it would be used outside of the correct methods as per the instructions. It says for areas that come in “contact” with food” you should only use on hard non porous surfaces. I would say all the metal on the inside of the grill qualify for that. It says to rinse it well, which I do and advocate people do also.
Nice job, but I assume the cleaner is "food safe"????
It says for surfaces that come in contact with food it must be rinsed thoroughly. Hence the reason for the rinse down. Pretty standard for most grill cleaners.
Nice video.Need to clean mine.Coming up on 20 or so cooks
Nice! The grill is not cheap, but you get what you paid for .Great video, sir😎
You got that right!
Forbidden chocolate
Spray it, let it sit and then steam clean it...
I will try on my ninja airfryer
Let me know how it goes!
@@DadGotThis It worked well. thank you
why not vinegar in a spray bottle? I'll be concerned about using chemicals
Because I tried it and it did nothing.
It don't look no different
Smokers do not need to be cleaned.
dont do this
Why?
Well, this has convinced me not to buy one, if I have to do a 10-part cleaning process, it's a no for me.
You don’t need to do this all the time. All grills require maintenance and cleaning. If you just clean it with wipe downs regularly it won’t get this bad. Honestly a spray spritz, wipe and run it will get it looking good.
I wipe mine down every time I use it with warm soapy water, as per the instructions. There is no build up like in the video, but you’re always going to get small bits that don’t come off, it’s an electric bbq, I can live with that. The grill is awesome I love it.
Buy the extended warranty and give it back for a refund. no cleaning needed
