Last year, I commissioned one of our freelance writers to cover the Ninja Woodfire grill. I wasn't expecting anything remarkable. In fact, I was waiting for a bad review. Ninja has been releasing some pretty niche appliances recently, and each time they get further from their original blender. When I received the press release for a cheap tabletop grill that could smoke meat, I was very skeptical.
However, when Alex filed her review, I was utterly taken aback. The grill is good. The grill is great. It costs hundreds - if not thousands - of dollars less than a Traeger or a Weber, but delivers similar results. You can make smoked tenderloin, beef jerky, smoked salmon, and even cinnamon rolls. It defies all logic. It shouldn't be good, but it is. It's one of the best grills we've ever tested.
