Ninja Woodfire Electric BBQ Grill & Smoker OG701UK

What makes this electric BBQ genuinely interesting is the woodfire flavour system — a small pellet burner that sits separately from the electric heating element, meaning you get real wood smoke infused into food without needing a gas line or charcoal bag. That distinction matters: most electric grills produce heat but no smoke character whatsoever, leaving food tasting like it came off an indoor griddle pan. The Ninja OG701UK sidesteps that problem by using Woodfire pellets as a flavour source rather than a fuel source, which keeps setup simple while delivering something closer to authentic BBQ results. It also air fries, roast, and bakes, making it genuinely usable year-round rather than a seasonal novelty.

Who Is This For?

This suits renters, flat dwellers with small balconies, or anyone in a property where open-flame BBQs are restricted — essentially people who want outdoor cooking without the faff of charcoal or the expense of a gas setup. It also appeals to those who BBQ infrequently enough that lighting and managing a traditional grill feels disproportionate for a Tuesday evening. If you regularly cook for large groups outdoors, the cooking surface is modest and you may find it limiting; a traditional kettle grill will serve you better at a lower price point.

What Buyers Say

Owners consistently praise how quickly it reaches temperature and how convincing the smoke flavour is given that it runs on electricity — smoked chicken and ribs draw particular mention. The most common complaint centres on the pellet consumption: the smoker box burns through pellets faster than expected, especially on longer cooks, and replacement pellets are a recurring additional cost that catches some buyers off guard.
