Ninja Woodfire Pro Connect XL Electric BBQ Grill & Smoker with Cover in Green/Gold

The real trick this grill pulls off is letting you monitor and adjust cooking temperatures from your phone via the Ninja app, which matters most when you're smoking low-and-slow for several hours — brisket, pork shoulder, ribs — and you genuinely cannot stand over a grill for that long. The built-in Woodfire technology uses real wood pellets to generate authentic smoke flavour from an electric unit, which sidesteps the need for gas canisters or charcoal while still producing results that taste like they came off something far more fussed-over. The XL capacity handles up to 12 portions, and the Pro Connect adds wireless probe monitoring on top of the app control, so you're tracking internal meat temperature remotely, not just ambient heat.

Who Is This For?

This suits the serious weekend cook who lives in a flat, terrace, or any space where open-flame barbecuing isn't practical — electric units are permitted on most balconies where gas and charcoal are not. It also appeals to anyone who wants consistent, repeatable results without years of fire-management experience. If you already own a kamado, a kettle grill, or any charcoal setup you love working hands-on, there's no compelling reason to switch.

What Buyers Say

Owners consistently praise the smoke flavour as genuinely convincing rather than superficial, and the app connectivity earns strong marks for reliability once the initial Bluetooth pairing is sorted. The most common frustration is the pellet hopper capacity — it burns through wood pellets faster than many expect during long smokes, requiring top-ups mid-cook that somewhat undermine the hands-free appeal. Worth factoring into your ongoing running costs.
