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

The real trick this grill pulls off is combining a genuine electric heat source with actual wood pellet combustion in the same compact unit — meaning you get authentic smoke flavour without needing gas, charcoal, or a garden large enough to justify a traditional smoker. The built-in probe takes that further, letting you cook a pork shoulder or whole chicken to a precise internal temperature without lifting the lid and bleeding off heat. For anyone living in a flat, a terraced house, or renting somewhere that bans open flames on balconies, this solves a real problem that cheaper electric grills simply ignore.

Who Is This For?

This suits the outdoor cook who wants genuine smoky results without the faff of charcoal management — particularly flat dwellers, renters, or anyone with a small patio where a full-sized BBQ would be impractical. The XL variant gives you meaningfully more cooking surface than the standard Woodfire, making it viable for feeding four to six people rather than just two. If you have a large garden, host regularly, and already own a gas BBQ you're happy with, you'll likely find this an expensive duplication rather than an upgrade.

What Buyers Say

Owners consistently praise how quickly it reaches temperature and how convincing the smoke flavour is given that it runs from a standard plug socket. The probe is frequently called out as genuinely useful rather than a gimmick. The most common complaint centres on pellet consumption — the hopper empties faster than many expect during long low-and-slow cooks, requiring refills that interrupt the process. A secondary gripe is that the drip tray needs cleaning after almost every session, which adds time to what's otherwise a convenient cook.

The Deal

Currently priced at £349.99, down from £399.99, the saving is £50. However, our price history — drawn from 203 data points — shows the lowest recorded price is actually £329.99, which means this is not the cheapest this unit has sold for, and our current verdict is to watch rather than buy immediately. It's a fair price, but not the sharpest one on record. If you're browsing more Ninja offers, our best Ninja deals and best BBQ deals pages track live price moves.
