Ninja FlexFlame Gas BBQ & Outdoor Cooking System in Black/Stainless Steel

Five cooking methods in a single outdoor unit sounds like marketing fluff until you realise what it actually solves: the awkward gap between a basic gas grill and a proper outdoor kitchen setup. The Ninja FlexFlame handles grilling, smoking, roasting, flat-plate griddling, and pizza-making without requiring you to buy, store, or clean five separate appliances. For anyone who has wrestled a dedicated smoker alongside a gas BBQ on a small patio, that consolidation is genuinely significant — and the 240V mains connection powering the electric elements means the smoke and roast functions deliver consistent, controllable heat rather than relying on guesswork with charcoal.

Who Is This For?

This suits the serious outdoor cook who entertains regularly and wants flexibility beyond burgers and sausages — someone who wants to host a pizza evening one weekend and a low-and-slow smoked brisket the next, without buying specialist kit for each occasion. It also requires a permanent patio gas supply and a mains socket nearby, so if your garden lacks both, this isn't a practical purchase regardless of the price. Casual summer grillers would be better served spending a fraction of this on a straightforward gas BBQ. See our best garden and outdoor deals for wider options at various price points.

What Buyers Say

Owners consistently praise the flat-plate griddle surface for breakfast cooking outdoors and the speed at which the unit reaches grilling temperature. The pizza function draws particular enthusiasm, with stone-baked results that outperform standalone pizza ovens at similar price points. The most common gripe is the size and weight — this is a substantial unit that isn't realistically moveable once positioned, and the dual power requirements catch some buyers off-guard after purchase.

The Deal

At £699.99, down from £999.99, you're saving £300 — a 30% reduction on a unit that launched at a price that gave many shoppers pause. This product is newly tracked on The Daily Find, so there's no historical price data to confirm whether £999.99 was a genuine long-term retail price or a brief inflated figure; treat the "was" price with appropriate scepticism. That said, £699.99 for a verified multi-function outdoor cooking system from Ninja is a credible outlay if you'll genuinely use three or more of its functions. If you're buying it for grilling alone, you're overpaying.
