If you want to grill the steak of your dreams, then you need a really good griller, and luckily, Ninja has your back with their woodfire outdoor grill and smoker. Of course, a good grill and smoker can be quite expensive, and while we really like Ninja’s take, the $370 asking price might be a bit too high. Luckily, Best Buy has a nice deal that discounts the grill and smoker down to $330, and while that’s not a massive discount, the $40 you save is not too bad and can be put towards a couple of good steaks.

Why you should buy the Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Grill & Smoker

The nice feature of the Ninja, which sets it apart from other comparable grills and smokers, is that it uses wood chips to cook rather than coal or electricity. That might not seem like a big deal if you aren’t familiar with the different fuel types, but wooden chips help add a lot of extra taste and benefit to anything you’re cooking, so it’s a big deal. Unfortunately, the downside is that you must use the Ninja pellets, which might not always be cheap or easy to get. Thankfully, Ninja does provide you with a couple of bags to get you started, and if you ever run out and need to grill or smoke something, there is an electric backup.

Another big benefit is that it’s easy to clean, even if you know how to clean a grill, whether it’s charcoal, gas, or pellet, which we appreciate, especially for newcomers. It also has a lot of capacity for cooking, with the ability to take up to three pounds of wings or a nine-pound brisket, so if you’re grilling and smoking for a crowd, you’re covered. The overall weight is also relatively good at around 30 pounds, so it’s one of the better portable grills we’ve looked at.

Overall, we really like the Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Grill & Smoker for its versatility, capacity, and ease of use. We also really appreciate the excellent value provided by the deal from Best Buy that brings it down to just $330, making it a bit more affordable.

Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Grill price slashed in Best Buy’s 48-hour sale

Ninja Woodfire 7-in-1 outdoor grill and smoker with wood pellets.

Looking to do some cooking, searing, or grilling this weekend? You're in luck, because thanks to an exclusive Best Buy 48-hour sale, you can take advantage of an excellent Ninja Woodfire outdoor grill deal. Here's the lowdown. Ninja's Woodfire is a 7-in-1 outdoor master grill, smoker, and air fryer that utilizes woodfire technology -- powered by electricity yet burning real wood pellets. Needless to say that will give your food a delicious and unique flavor. The deal drops the price of the Ninja Woodfire down to $330, when it's normally $370, saving you $40. Hurry, though, this deal is only good for a few more hours.

Why you should buy the Ninja Woodfire outdoor 7-in-1 grill
One of the coolest features of Ninja's Woodfire is that it actually uses wood pellets to deliver flavor, smoke, and proper even cooking to your foods. That's pretty crazy since it's still an electric grill. That means you can create rich, smoky flavors in a variety of uncommon situations. For example, since this grill doesn't use charcoal or propane, and isn't prone to flare-ups like other grills, it's apartment and small-living friendly. You won't have to spend much time learning how to make perfect grill marks, either. The grated surface will do that for you.

Whether it is from Gordom Ramsay, The Bear, or perhaps even our own work experiences, one thing we've all learned is that kitchen work rough, hot, and intense. We need someone to work with us, or at least to yell at to let some steam off. While we don't have a person offering their services to you today, we do have one of Best Buy's highest rated kitchen appliances on sale for over $170 off. It's the KitchenAid 5.5 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer, which is usually $450, for only $280. While, again, it isn't a person, it can do a lot more than just mix and — if you really need to let off some steam — you can yell at it. It's only on sale until 1:00 AM EST, so do act now and tap that button below to see if it is for you!

Why you should buy a KitchenAid 5.5 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer
A mixer should be on your big list of kitchen essentials, but probably isn't near the top. Things like a good microwave, toaster, and even kitchen knives probably are taking your top slot. After all, you can just use a whisk for mixing. However, getting your mixing done well — the KitchenAid 5.5 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer works at 11 speeds and 'folds' as well — will make your food have a more premium feel, absent of lumps. It saves time for more skill-intensive work as well.
