Ninja is known for making home appliances, and have developed a loyal following. They expanded into the outdoor cooking space a couple years ago with the Ninja Woodfire Grill.
It’s a small electric grill that also can do other cooking functions. In addition to grilling, it has a fan on it for air frying, or for smoking with a built-in pellet smoke box.
With the positive reception that the Woodfire grill has gotten, Ninja is pushing more into outdoor cooking with a new full sized grill. It’s called the FlexFlame, and they’ll be rolling it out over the next month.
While they haven’t done their marketing push for it yet, it appears to be available for purchase from Home Depot. It’s also listed as a retailer exclusive model, which is a good get for Home Depot.
Much like the Woodfire grill, the FlexFlame is designed to do more than just grill. The FlexFlame is a propane fueled grill that is different than other products on the market because it has a large pellet smoker box on the side. It’s a similar idea to the Woodfire grill, but on a larger scale, and with more cooking power from gas.

Convective Cooking
Beyond grilling, and smoking, an attractive feature of this grill is it has a large built-in fan for convective cooking, which is essentially air frying. It should yield faster cook times on food and make food crispier, like an air fryer would. They brand it Cyclonic Air and CyclonicHeat-IQ.
