Ninja Woodfire XL Roast & Smoke Rack, for OG800/OG900, Steel, Silver

I bought this rack for smoking in my Ninja Woodfire XL Pro Connect Smoker/Grill, and it fits perfectly. Having learned about direct and indirect heating on this smoker/grill, I learned that smoking is best done with indirect heating. Since smoking takes a longer period of time, it's best to not put foods directly on the grill since this can burn or over cook the bottom of the food. This rack holds the food above the grill so it doesn't burn and also allows allows the heat and smoke to surround the food evenly. This rack also works great for roasting and baking or for any cooking that you don't want the food or pan directly on the grill. It is strong enough to hold heavy roasts, but also works well for smaller foods you want to smoke such as sausages, hot dots, burger, fish, and so much more. For me, this rack has become a very useful and versatile accessory. I have also found that this rack is easy to clean. Warm soap and water and a dish rag or sponge is all it needs for cleaning. UPDATE 09/02/24: Today I smoked a Boston cut pork butt roast in the Ninja Woodfire grill and used this rack to keep the roast elevated over the grill. It took 4 1/2 hours at 425 degrees for a 3 lb. roast to reach 190 degrees. This rack worked like a champ. The bottom of the roast was not at all burned, and the roast had a nice bark, top and bottom. I used hickory for the smoke, and the flavor was wonderful. Leftovers from the roast were shredded and frozen for a future meal of BBQed shredded pork sandwiches. After the cook, this rack had some crusted particles of the roast and some smoke color, but it was so easy to clean in warm soapy water using only a vegetable brush to clean it. Whether you use this rack or one you have, a rack should be used to keep food above the grill for longer smokes. What's nice about this rack is that it fits the grill size. The handles on this rack make it so easy to move food after cooking to a cutting board and bring it into the house. In addition, I have found this rack is also very useful as a baking rack to cool baked bread or other baked items. So many items are sold to be used for specific purposes when they can also be used for multiple other purposes. Having a rack like this can help to eliminate the need for other racks that require additional storage space. I hope this review was helpful for you.

My husband enjoys cooking and this rack was exactly what he needed to add to his kitchen collection. It's the right size and is very sturdy. It also sits well on hard surfaces and is easy to clean. There was no problem with assembling the item as it is very lightweight. We should have bought another one.

When you smoke meat (or food in general, really) you want smoke on ALL sides of the food item. Therefore, some sort of rack like this to elevate the food is crucial for an optimal end product. This one, made by Ninja (vs just some generic rack) FOR the Woodfire XL (pro and connect models) products, fits into grooves on the stock grill grate, and makes optimal use of the available space in the cooker. Also handy for other cook modes, such as baking, dehydrating, and air frying, where you want air to circulate completely around the food.

Perfect for smoking. I have my rack of baby backs smoking now! Has handles for you to just lift off.

great product

Helps with certain types of meats and poultry. I primary use it for whole chickens. Seems durable and like it will last. Washes in the washing machine fine.

You HAVE to have the rack. I tried cheap ones and they all have very square corners and won't fit. The only thing I smoke without the rack is meatloaf.

Great rack for the Ninja grill. Correct size and allows for full smoking converage. Cleaning is usual for a grid rack. Depending upon food, some sticks more than others and usual cleaning techniques are successful.

Execelente producto y muy útil
