Whilst this may not be the best time of year to get an outside oven weather wise, I've been taking advantage of every opportunity to use it. The pizza making option is amazing - the pizzas I've made taste as good as anything I've had from other pizza ovens (actually, maybe better)!The smoker is really cool and very effective. I've enjoyed trying different foods with it, including barbecue food, a roast chicken, plus more. I love the versatility of this outdoor oven, and as the weather improves, I suspect I may end up cooking in the garden pretty much every day!It's pretty easy to use, especially if you've used Ninja products or similar before, and the handbook is really easy to follow.

The design is great - looks amazing; it's clearly sturdy and well made; and despite the hugely high temperatures inside, the handle and panel don't get hot. The pellet scoop is almost perfect in design, although it's hard to tip out the last few, but the whole process of the pellets igniting to create the smoke has been flawless.It's worth noting that it's pretty big and heavy, which I fully expected, but it's good to be forewarned!This is my third Ninja product, and each one has delighted me and not let me down! And this outside oven really is a brilliant machine which I would recommend to anyone.

We love cooking outside and experimenting with recipes and cooking styles so I was overjoyed to be able to test this new Ninja outdoor oven - especially being a massive Ninja product fan already. I had considered buying a Pizza oven previously but held back as the good ones are quite expensive and a bit of a one trick pony. This new Woodfire Electric Outdoor Oven, Artisan Pizza Maker and BBQ Smoker gives the option to cook fabulous pizzas, roast, smoke and bake - even dehydrate at the same price as a decent pizza oven.The unit comes securely and well packaged and is a doddle to set up - merely remove packaging and insert tray/pizza stone as required. There is a safety outdoor plug attached with a reset button. The oven looks and feels sturdy, well built and is a ... MoreWe love cooking outside and experimenting with recipes and cooking styles so I was overjoyed to be able to test this new Ninja outdoor oven - especially being a massive Ninja product fan already.

There is a safety outdoor plug attached with a reset button. The oven looks and feels sturdy, well built and is a thing of beauty. It is large and heavy so if you have a smaller space do please pay attention to the measurements.Due to bad weather and illness we have only been able to cook a couple of pizzas - but wow, what amazing pizzas they were, they tasted crispy and fresh like being in an Italian pizzeria! The oven itself heats up to a high heat in mere minutes but the pizza stone obviously takes longer to fully heat for a traditional pizza oven taste and cook, approx 15/30 minutes. The pizza cooked in a really short amount of time, about 3 minutes and I love that you can also tailor cooking times to different bases and even a Calzone for optimal cooking. Calzone is definitely next on my list. You can also use the pellets for a woodfired flavour for pizza or any other cooking modes. Unfortunately I did not have the starter pack pellets in my box so could not test those with it. We will be buying some for the full experience though. The Pizza Peel is a must have accessory for the oven and worked really well.Overall opinion: A beautiful looking unit that we will use so much going forward. The oven is so versatile, we will cook steaks, roasts (whole chickens and beef joints), kebabs etc as well as tray bakes, breads, pizzas, ribs - basically I think you could cook anything that you would cook in the oven, grill or BBQ. Due to the oven size it will be great for entertaining and no back and forth from BBQ area to kitchen! I would definitely recommend the pizza peel and I think we will also look at getting the adjustable stand and cover for it as that will work so well. Bring on better weather and 2024 spring / summer of new Ninja experiences and amazing cooking.

A sturdy machine with typical Ninja style and functionality, making it intuitive and easy to use.Pizza:We do love our homemade pizzas so were keen to try this setting first. The Pizza Peel was invaluable, I’m not sure how we’d have managed without it to be honest. But it worked brilliantly for popping the pizza in and extracting it out at the super high temperatures.For maximum authenticity, we tried out the mild wood pellets to add the smoked flavour. This wasn’t too overpowering and worked very well. They were very simple and safe to add too.It took a little trial and error on timing and thickness of dough, but they came out well cooked and not soggy. Even our 10 year old fussy eater’s words were “if pizza always tasted like this, I’d always eat ... MoreA sturdy machine with typical Ninja style and functionality, making it intuitive and easy to use.Pizza:We do love our homemade pizzas so were keen to try this setting first.

Even our 10 year old fussy eater’s words were “if pizza always tasted like this, I’d always eat it”.Roast:Pizza aside, there were so many more possibilities than we’d realised and so we were intrigued to try the roast chicken next. We used the recommended Gourmet Roast setting, which seals the meat first at a very high temperature for 5 or so minutes then drops back to a lower roasting temperature for the remaining time. We did find that we needed to leave the chicken in for an extra 10-15mins as the chicken was not at a high enough internal temperature when checked with a meat thermometer.Next time we would customise the stage 2 cooking temperature to be slightly higher than the default value. The chicken turned out beautifully cooked. Crispy skin on the outside, with succulent and tender meat inside.Whereas the pizza cooking ended up saving time and produced noticeably better results compared to cooking in the oven, roasting the chicken took the same time, possibly slightly longer, for only slightly improved results over cooking in a regular oven. I'm sure with a bit more tuning of the settings we'll do even better in the future.Settings:The settings are quite straightforward to use and the user guide has clear sections for different styles of cooking with pointers for how to use the unit for different tasks. Thankfully, it isn't a case of button or controls overload. There are a couple of simple to use dial based controls and a couple of touch sensitive buttons. The built-in small display clearly tells you when the next stage of cooking is ready and acts as a prompt for what to do next. You can always refer to the user guide for more easy to follow details when needed.All in all we were impressed with how powerful this little machine was. We’re looking forward to enjoying it in the summer months and lighter evenings, with plans to try the ribs next!
