Ninja FlexFlame Gas BBQ and Outdoor Cooking System PG301UK

Game changer!

Absolutely amazing! We had bbq for dinner 3 night in a row, we made breakfast rolls, and pizza. Best bbq ever, it’s so easy to control, nothing get burnt.

Love it!

Really enjoying our new Shark BBQ. The fan assisted cooking makes BBQing a breeze. It’s quick and food cooks evenly. Haven’t used the smoke yet. Worked with the calor gas cyclinder we had for our previous BBQ. Booked the installation option which was really quick and helpful and got a great deal on the BBQ during a 30% off event. My only criticism is, as others have said, is the cable is ridiculously short. We’ve got it right next to an external socket and even then it only just reaches.

Great, even with some minor issues

Excitedly received the barbecue a couple of weeks ago, and it was packaged extremely well. The box was huge, and required two people to move it. The barbecue itself required assembly, and this was relatively easy. The instructions are very clear and I loved that all of the nuts and bolts are in bags lined up from 1 to 20 (or however many bag that were). To construct the barbecue, you will also need two people, as you need to lift and drop the top part of the barbecue . . . Which can be a bit fiddly. I’ve used the barbecue a number of times now, even in the rain. I absolutely adore it. I only two issues I have with it are that one of the bolts behind the digital display was threaded, and didn’t work before me. I think this is just unlucky. The other issue for me is that the fan is so loud. Saying that, the barbecue was so good that I can easily forgive this and I’m so happy to give it a five star review. Overall, I think the bill quality, aesthetics and functionality are top-notch. I am very happy I bought it and would happily recommend it for others.

Great bit of kit

A last minute purchase to be able to cook a BBQ for over 40 people over the bank holiday weekend. It reived on Saturday in a surprisingly large box. The build instructions were simple to follow, and it is definitely a two person job to put it together, which took around 90 minutes. A quick test BBQ breakfast after curing the griddle pan went well. Temperature control is simple and feels accurate. And then it was on to cooking 50 smash burgers, pikes of sausages, vegan burgers and some sides. A beech wood smoke worked well too, just a hint of smokiness. We had no flare ups, the griddle is very non stick if cured well - 3 lightly oiled heat and cooling cycles. The next day we tested this with fried eggs, which surprised us with how well it went. All in all it's a great bit of kit, and well worth the money what I paid for it and the accessories. Next week we'll.try a pizza or two.

Easy to use, great for newbie’s like me

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this amazing bbq from ninja as a tester and unfortunately my husband passed away just after It was delivered so setting the bbq up myself I was very nervous as I have never built and was shocked how easy it was to follow the instructions to build. Easy to use and the food is tasty and evenly cooked. Next I used the smoker and made baby back ribs and they were absolutely delicious, I love it.

Great features and easy to use.

This was gifted to me by ninja to be a tester and I am so ecstatic I was chosen. It is,something I would never have thought of buying at all. Well after a illness and our rather awful weather we have had it is now up and running. Thankfully by son in law put it all together for me as I am not mechanically minded at all. It is well constructed excellent quality and the instructions so I am told are fullproof. It came well packaged in a very sturdy casing. Nothing was missing and the way all the nuts and screws were very well packaged. To cook on this,most amazing bbq is a dream. It is easy to understand the directions once you get going. We have smoked chickens, pizza, and steaks. All tasted amazing well. My next step is,to smoke brisket which is something I have never done I have only seen clips,on you tube of it but I aim to have a go very soon. I would definitely recommend this new bbq by ninja as you will never regret such a great addition to your outside eatery. Wonderful product.

Flexing my barbeque skills

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was lucky enough to receive the Flexflame PG301UK to review a couple of months ago. Sadly, I was then struck down with shingles, so that, combined with the additional bad weather of hailstones, snow, wind and rain delayed me managing to use and review this substantial piece of equipment. The Flexflame arrived in a huge box, so if you don’t have a large hallway you may need to clear space to put it. I built it inside with the intention of moving it outside once completed. Now putting it together should have been relatively easy except the instructions on the BILT video and leaflet didn’t always correspond which did make the building take longer (I think one must be the American version?). However, the labelling of the screws/small parts made up for this. Instead of many separate bags which you usually get when constructing something these were all joined together and rolled out into the correct order. Extremely helpful, I wish every company would do this! So, it did take me a good few hours to build this (on my own). I only needed help at the end to lift the firebox on top. The stickers easily pulled off once it was built. It’s a sturdy piece of kit and as with all Ninja appliances, I can see this lasting many years. Once built it looks very impressive and was positioned in all its glory on my patio. I invited family around so we could all see how the food tasted cooked on the Flexflame and by sheer luck it was probably the sunniest day of the year so far!. Connecting the gas bottle to the regulator took seconds, it was very straight forward. Then we decided to try cooking chicken breast and chicken burgers, wrapping it in foil so I wouldn’t have much to clean afterwards. We turned it on and for a second, I forgot it was a Ninja, it sounded just like a larger/louder version of my ninja grill. Not loud enough to disturb the neighbours, or us though. At first, we decided just to wack some breast on without reading the instructions (woops), and then realised while reading them that you should let the Flexflame heat up first. So, we then added the rest of the breasts and the spicy chicken burgers, Due to our original error the first breast we put on were a little over cooked, so I was nervous to see how the others were going to turn out. Using my meat thermometer to ensure they were fully cooked; I took them out of the Flexflame and unwrapped them all. They looked a little pale (well they had been in the foil!) but once we bit into them oooh they were soft and juicy. The chicken burgers were also a huge hit! We were surprised at how quickly they cooked and with such ease. I think next time I would cook without the foil to get the lovely grill marks and crisp it up a little, especially as some of the juices escaped the foil and did leave a bit of a mess. My only concern with the Flexflame is cleaning it, but that’s the same with all barbecues. As with most Ninja equipment there are several ways to use it and I will defiantly be looking to buy the accessories once they are for sale in the UK. I can imagine pizzas would taste fabulous on here. So, am I happy with the Flexflame? Yes, I am. This is just day one and I’m excited to see what different meals I can cook on here, especially now the weather is getting better, and I can’t wait to try the pellets. I love that I don’t have to stand over it and that there is no smoke blowing over my face while cooking. There were 6 of us today and it fed us easily. I do think the price is very steep, especially when you must purchase the accessories separately. Not to mention the UK weather often isn’t barbeque friendly. However, it’s a fabulous piece of kit, looks amazing, really is a statement piece and if it does cook everything as well as it says it does, I am sure we will get many many days of use out of it. Now excuse me while I run to the shop to get more ingredients for tomorrows barbie!
