00:00Hey guys, you're looking at the Ninja Flex Flame Outdoor Grill, Ninja's first propane-powered
00:05appliance and also one of the most ambitious Ninja products to ever hit the market. I got an
00:09early preview of it, how it works, I even got to grill a bit on it. I'll show you everything right
00:14here in this video. So here it is. It's a $999 three-burner propane grill with 424 square inches
00:22of cook space. That's the only configuration for now and it takes a lot of the learnings from the
00:27rest of the Ninja Woodfire product line by combining convection and a beginner-friendly
00:32smoke box with the pleasure of cooking over fire. A key feature is temperature regulation when it
00:37comes to the flames. An internal thermometer knows when the lid is open and auto-corrects the
00:42temperature, which could mean less propane use in terms of efficiency. The grill runs between 200
00:47and 600 degrees with five cooking modes, four you set on the ignition knob, low and slow, roast and
00:54bake, two-zone indirect cooking, and grill and pizza. The fifth one is the optional woodfire flavor. This
01:00means using the smoke box and wood pellets to infuse that classic barbecue smoky flavor in your food.
01:06I absolutely love this feature on my Ninja Woodfire outdoor oven. It's really great for people who are
01:11intimidated by smoking. I was right there with you, but this just makes it so approachable. So we also have
01:17this display. Note that you do need electricity to run this grill. That could be a downside depending on your
01:22setup. There's also no integrated temperature probe for your food, though Ninja is quick to remind you
01:28that the Ninja wireless thermometer can go up to 700 degrees, so it's totally compatible with Flex
01:33Flame cooking. Similarly, there's a whole lineup of accessories made for the Flex Flame, including
01:39griddle toppers. That's huge in terms of versatility, even if Weber did do it first. There's also a pizza
01:45stone. Tried it, works pretty well. If it's preheated properly, you get a pizza in about five minutes.
01:50Should mention too that there's a roasting rack, a caddy for all of your tools. Ninja has pretty much
01:55thought of everything. But to keep things simple, I whipped up some burgers on the Flex Flame,
02:01a classic grilling test right here, and I was really pleased with the heat distribution.
02:05As with any grill, there is a hot spot, but overall I got a very even cook. It meant I was able to serve
02:11up everything at once. That's something that I'm always thinking about. Convenience when it comes to
02:15hosting, and I definitely got that vibe here. The side tables are also convenient and I think
02:20rather spacious relative to the grill's size overall. By the time you're seeing this video,
02:25the Flex Flame is actually at my house, ready for me to put through the paces. So make sure you're
02:30subscribed and let me know in the comments if you want to see a full review video. My first impression
02:35is that the footprint and ease of use makes it a good fair-priced option for first-time grill owners,
02:40or maybe just people who have limited outdoor space since it is a lot of different outdoor
02:45appliances in one. A grill, a smoker, a pizza oven. People who love all things Ninja will also find a
02:51lot of familiar branding and user guides. So this was made to me clearly with the fans of the brand
02:56in mind. I think that just about covers everything you need to know about the Ninja Flex Flame Grill.
03:02I'm curious to know if it's on your radar in the lead up to peak grilling season. I'm seeing a lot of
03:06buzz about it online, so let me know what you think. That's it for me. Thanks for watching guys,
03:11I'll catch you next time.
