Ninja Woodfire Pro XL Electric BBQ Grill & Smoker in Grey Lid/Black Body

Yes, it uses Ninja's own Woodfire pellets (sold separately) to generate real smoke flavour, and it is compatible with all six Woodfire pellet flavours including oak, apple, and cherry. The Pro XL offers a 60% larger cooking area compared to the standard Woodfire model, giving you roughly enough space to cook for 6–8 people simultaneously. It operates electrically, so no gas or charcoal is required, and it can be used on a standard UK outdoor socket.

This grill suits people who want the convenience of electric cooking combined with authentic smoke flavour without managing charcoal — it is particularly well-suited to garden use where open flames are restricted, such as flats with balconies or terraces. The smoke output, while genuine, is subtler than a traditional offset smoker, so serious BBQ enthusiasts expecting deep pit-style bark on brisket may find it falls short of their expectations. The XL size is also bulky and not straightforward to move around, so a dedicated, weatherproof storage spot is worth planning for before buying.

This product has only just been tracked on our system, so there is no historical price data yet to confirm whether £329.99 represents a true low or simply a standard promotional price dressed up with a 'was £399.99' label. The 18% discount looks appealing on paper, but without a price history it is impossible to verify how long it traded at the higher figure or how often it drops. The honest advice is to add it to your watchlist so you can build up a price baseline before committing.

The Weber Lumin Compact (typically around £299–£350) is a strong rival for electric grilling, but it lacks any smoke infusion capability — it grills well but produces no wood smoke flavour whatsoever. The Ninja Woodfire Pro XL has a clear advantage if smoke flavour is a priority, whereas the Weber edges ahead on build quality longevity and brand reliability data from longer-term owners. If you purely want a clean electric grill for quick weeknight cooking, the Weber is a reasonable alternative, but for a genuine BBQ experience without charcoal, the Ninja's pellet system gives it a meaningful functional edge.
