Looking at purchasing one. Anyone else have one and if so are they worth the money.
The ninja Woodford is nothing and i mean nothing like a smoker. It's getting good comments, but it's basically (literally) an outdoor air fryer with a tiny pellet tray. It doesn't use many at all and it's primary heat source is the air fryer itself, with just a little bit of pellet smoke. You can cook things at a low heat but you might as well use the ovenI don’t, but am in the market for one myself. Quite like the look of the ninja woodfire, but need to see one in action first.
Aldi one isn't available at the moment which is unfortunate because I was thinking of getting one.The Traegers are brilliant, I've had one about 6 or 7 years. You can get the temperature up high enough for standard BBQ food, but long cooks of big pieces of meat etc is what I use mine for. Full rack of St. Louis ribs cooked for 6 hours using the 3-2-1 method are absolutely superb.
If you think you'll mostly be doing quicker BBQs with some interest in smoking food etc as well then have a think about a Kamado too, more skill required but worth considering. And price dependent, I think Aldi do a decent one if you want to dip your toe without spending a huge amount
