Ninja Woodfire Electric BBQ Grill & Smoker, 7-in-1 Outdoor Grill & Air Fryer, Roast, Bake, Dehydrate, Uses Woodfire Pellets, Weather Resistant, Non-Stick, Portable, Electric, Grey/Black, OG701UK

I love my Ninja Woodfire. It is so much easier to cart about than a big bulky tall BBQ. I only use the smoker when outside with it, for obvious reasons, and I know they say it is only for outdoor use, but when it is wet outside I use it on top of my hob under my extractor in my kitchen, where I will use the grill and air fryer or bake, dehydrate or reheat option.The smoking function, for outside only, is really easy to use. The container needs to be fully filled with suitable hardwood pellets for initial ignition, even for short cooking times otherwise it won’t light correctly.To fully appreciate the grill, I found cuts of meat need to be quite thick otherwise it will overcook before you get good markings, unless you have your own supply of meat that is not pumped up with water as often is the case with supermarket meat. If too thin it won’t brown correctly and will render water preventing it from browning. Thicker cuts will give you more success getting medium/rare with excellent flavour and markings. Apart from thick cut beef steaks, thick cut pork shoulder steaks are excellent with smoker as they take longer to cook and the fat crisps up beautifully. I haven’t yet found the need to faff about with anything other than salt, pepper, dried garlic and herbes de Provence. You appreciate more the smoker flavour and the true flavour of the meat.I bought myself the extra flat plate and half sized crisper basket. The half sized crisper basket is useful, for example, for making wedges, alongside a small spatchcocked chicken that you started on the grill for flavour (minus the basket) and that you finish cooking using the air fryer (with the basket).I even managed to make a chocolate brownie traybake using the bake option on the knob. It works. The centre tends to be gooeyer than the sides but it’s still tasty. Will have to tweak temperature and cooking time no doubt. The top and bottom doesn’t burn as it does in a conventional oven which is good.The flat plate is great as a baking griddle and for grilling smaller items such as veg and shrimp.I haven’t yet used it as a dehydrator but no doubt would work, though it may be a bit small for dehydrating large quantities of fruit, veg, mushrooms or meat, unless there was a racking system, which there isn’t.This is an excellent machine. Expensive, yes, but I hope will last me a long time. Having a smoker option as well as airfryer etc is worth it and the Ninja woodfire really does cut cooking times a lot!! I would recommend the Ninja Woodfire to anyone. So far I do not regret it one bit!

WOW The Ninja Woodfire Electric BBQ Grill & Smoker is an absolute game-changer for outdoor cooking. Its versatility is unmatched; you can grill, smoke, air fry, bake, roast, dehydrate, and even broil—all in one sleek well made machine. The temperature control is precise, ensuring perfect cooking results every time, whether you're slow-smoking a brisket or air-frying crispy wings. The design is compact yet robust, making it perfect for small patios or big family gatherings. We built a small outdoor kitchen unit/table for it to sit on. The woodfire flavour it imparts is simply divine, elevating even the simplest dishes. Cleanup is soooooo easy and the overall experience is just pure joy. If you're serious about your BBQ game, leave the old coal BBQs and try this Ninja, this is a must-have.

I’ve had my eye on one of these for a couple of years, but always differed. Then the new XL Connect came out and it’s the beginning of summer so I went for it. It’s absolutely great, I was concerned about flavour etc being electric, I need not have worried, if I served up anything I have cooked to you and you did not it was on electric you would never know, smoker is great, be warned it really does impact the smoke flavour, on slow roasts for a couple of hours or more no problem, on shorter cook stuff, I’m having to temper it so it does not over power. The smoker is not a gimmick. It really does add the smoke flavour. The app is fantastic, I’ve set stuff slow smoking and then gone up the woods with the dog and can adjust accordingly if need be. How cool is that. I had the problem with it tripping out on the ignite feature for the smoker: done some googling and realised in my case it was because I was using a 25 meter extension cord on one of them spindles but only uncoiling 5meters which is what I needed, I never realised that when coiled it really reduces the charge it can give so the Ninja was tripping out. I bought a 5 meter extension so now it is fully uncoiled and not a problem since. When I turn the Ninja on I hit reset, then test which then clicks and reset again. Happy days. Just mentioning as I have seen some people mention it tripping out so this could be your solution. If you are umming and arring on this. Go for it, it cooks so well and loads of flavour and meat always really tender, like the best barbecue you ever done each time with none of the hassle.

This is an amazing product! It is so easy to use and so versatile. It's a matter of minutes to get to 'ready to cook' and it's easy clean. It takes all the stress and time out of trying to light a charcoal BBQ or remembering enough gas for a gas BBQ. The food is very tasty and using the wood smoke feature gives food a light smokey flavour not dissimilar to a traditional BBQ. It's probably a bit small to use for a big BBQ party but is ideal for a family.It's a bit heavy to keep putting away but a bit too portable to leave out in the garden.We had a small accident with ours and damaged it - entirely our own fault. NinjaUk could not have been better with their customer service - they went above and beyond all expectations which gave me faith to believe that Ninja products are well worth the investment. I'm delighted with my purchase and won't be going back to traditional or gas anytime soon!

Just love this bbq, fast efficient and best of all great taste food. Soooo easy to clean!!Great product!
