Kate got to check out all the FlexFlame’s key features and specs, plus put it to the test herself as part of this hands-on review.

Hey guys, you're looking at the Ninja Flexclaim Outdoor Grill, Ninja's first propane-powered
0:04
appliance and also one of the most ambitious Ninja products to ever hit the market
0:09
I got an early preview of it, how it works, I even got to grill a bit on it
0:13
I'll show you everything right here in this video. So here it is. It's a $999 three-burner propane grill with 424 square inches of cook space
0:23
That's the only configuration for now, and it takes a lot of the learnings from the rest
0:27
of the Ninja Woodfire product line by combining convection and a beginner-friendly smoke box
0:32
with the pleasure of cooking over fire. A key feature is temperature regulation when it comes
0:37
to the flames. An internal thermometer knows when the lid is open and auto-corrects the temperature
0:42
which could mean less propane use in terms of efficiency. The grill runs between 200 and 600
0:48
degrees with five cooking modes, four you set on the ignition knob, low and slow, roast and bake
0:54
two-zone indirect cooking and grill and pizza. The fifth one is the optional wood fire flavor
0:59
This means using the smoke box and wood pellets to infuse that classic barbecue smoky flavor in
1:05
your food. I absolutely love this feature on my Ninja Wood Fire outdoor oven. It's really great
1:10
for people who are intimidated by smoking. I was right there with you, but this just makes it
1:14
so approachable. So we also have this display. Note that you do need electricity to run this
1:19
girl that could be a downside depending on your setup. There's also no integrated
1:24
temperature probe for your food, though Ninja is quick to remind you that the
1:28
Ninja wireless thermometer can go up to 700 degrees, so it's totally compatible
1:32
with Flex Flame cooking Similarly there a whole lineup of accessories made for the Flex Flame including griddle toppers That huge in terms of versatility even if Weber did do it first There also a pizza stone Tried it Works pretty well If it
1:47
preheated properly, you get a pizza in about five minutes. Should mention too that there's a roasting
1:52
rack, a caddy for all of your tools. Ninja has pretty much thought of everything. But to keep
1:58
things simple, I whipped up some burgers on the Flex Flame. Classic grilling test right here. And
2:03
I was really pleased with the heat distribution. As with any grill, there is a hot spot, but overall
2:08
I got a very even cook. It meant I was able to serve up everything at once. That's something that
2:12
I'm always thinking about, convenient when it comes to hosting, and I definitely got that vibe
2:17
here. The side tables are also convenient, and I think rather spacious relative to the grill's size
2:22
overall. By the time you're seeing this video, the Flexplane is actually at my house, ready for me to
2:28
put through the paces, so make sure you're subscribed, and let me know in the comments if
2:32
you want to see a full review video. My first impression is that the footprint and ease of use
2:37
makes it a good fair-priced option for first-time grill owners or maybe just people who have limited
2:42
outdoor space since it is a lot of different outdoor appliances in one. A grill, a smoker
2:47
a pizza oven. People who love all things Ninja will also find a lot of familiar branding and user
2:52
guides so this was made to me clearly with the fans of the brand in mind. I think that just about
2:58
covers everything you need to know about the Ninja Flex Flame Grill. I'm curious to know if
3:03
it's on your radar in the lead up to peak grilling season. I'm seeing a lot of buzz about it online
3:07
so let me know what you think. That's it for me. Thanks for watching, guys. I'll catch you next time
