Ninja Woodfire Pro Connect XL Electric BBQ Grill & Smoker in Warm Black

The real selling point here isn't the smoke — it's the app. The Ninja Woodfire Pro Connect XL lets you monitor internal meat temperatures and adjust cooking settings remotely via Bluetooth, which means you can actually sit with your guests instead of standing over a grill anxiously prodding a brisket. For anyone who's ever served overcooked chicken at a garden party because they got distracted, that remote probe monitoring is a genuinely useful feature rather than a gimmick. It also burns real wood pellets to generate smoke flavour, so you're not faking it with liquid smoke or flavoured chips — there's authentic low-and-slow capability in an electric format that doesn't require a gas line or charcoal faff.

Who Is This For?

This suits someone with a modest outdoor space — a terrace, balcony, or smaller garden — who wants serious BBQ results without the commitment of a full charcoal or gas setup. It's particularly well suited to people who entertain regularly and want consistency over theatrics. If you're a purist who believes only fire-managed charcoal counts as real BBQ, or if you're simply cooking burgers twice a summer, the price point won't justify itself — look elsewhere or browse our best BBQ deals for more affordable alternatives.

What Buyers Say

Owners consistently praise the smoke flavour output as noticeably more authentic than other electric grills, and the XL cooking surface earns particular approval for handling whole joints or feeding larger groups. The most common frustration is Bluetooth range — the app connection can drop if you move too far from the unit, which rather undermines the freedom-to-roam promise. A few buyers also note the pellet hopper empties quicker than expected during long smoking sessions, requiring mid-cook top-ups.

The Deal

Currently priced at £379.99, down from £449.99, the £70 saving looks attractive on paper — but our price history across 155 data points tells a flat story: this product has never sold for more or less than £379.99 with us, meaning the "was" price likely reflects a launch RRP rather than a price you could realistically have paid recently. It's not a flash discount you need to sprint for. If £380 fits your budget and you've wanted this model specifically, it's a reasonable time to buy — just don't let the sale framing rush your decision.
