Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love my Ninja wood fire!! We use pretty much every function it offers. The only meat I have not enjoyed smoking is ribs they tend to come out tough. The only thing that frustrates me with it is the BT, WiFi has to be reconnected every time we use it now. When we first got it a little over a year ago we had no issues with it but it’s every time now. I do have protection on my wood fire so I do plan on returning it to get a new one that hopefully will work better with BT and WiFi.

The Ninja Grill & Smoker is one of the easiest ways I've ever cooked. Not only is it versatile but its convenient with the easy to use Ninja Pro Connect app. The grill connects to your Wi-Fi and phone with Bluetooth to allow you to monitor it with the app across the yard or in the house. I've grilled hamburgers and fillet mignon several times now with the woodfire flavor technology turned on and loved the smokey flavor. The one downside of using smoke is that it takes quite a while for the ignite and preheat process to complete. However, once that is done, its so easy to use. For both items I used the guide in the app. It starts the timer and you get a beep at the grill and a push notification on your phone when its time to flip them. On the fillets, I also used the two temperature prongs and they worked perfect showing me the temps on the app. It was particularly handy when one of my fillets was thicker than the other. I was able to watch the temperature and get the thinner fillet off the grill before it got over cooked. The smoke flavor was fantastic and I have attached a picture of one of the fillet's that I cooked to145 degrees, medium. When done cooking what is convenient about this grill is how the grease heads back and down the drain into the drip pan. You then take the grate out to clean and you are done and ready for next time. The grill does not come with the optional stand, but it does sit on any surface you want to use if you opt not to buy the stand. I think I will eventually get the stand and cover so I can leave it outside on the patio. Now that I have experimented with some easy to make items, I am ready and can't wait to tackle larger smoking projects with the help of the Ninja app! If you like smoked food, this is an easy to use product to get tasty results.

I had some doubts when I bought this that it wouldn't grill as well as my old propane grill but, based on the reviews I'd read, I thought I'd give it a try. I finally used it this past weekend. My wife had marinated some ribeye steaks in teriyaki sauce and they turned out fantastic! You would not have been able to tell they were cooked on an electric grill. One of the things I especially disliked about my old gas grill was the hassle of cleaning it - especially after grilling teriyaki steaks. The teriyaki sauce is a pain to clean off the grill. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that clean up was a snap with the Ninja grill. First, I wiped up as much of the sauce as I could with paper towels, then I took the grill grate to the sink and the remaining sauce just washed right off - no hard scrubbing or straining to remove dried sauce. Although I haven't tried the smoker feature yet, I would still highly recommend this grill!

Versatility: The grill offers multiple cooking modes — grill, smoke, roast, bake, air-fry, dehydrate, broil. • Ease of use: It’s plug-in electric, so no gas tank or charcoal to fuss with. The controls are straightforward. • Smoking flavour: It uses a pellet tray/wood-pellet system (“Woodfire Technology”) to add smoke flavour. Reports say ribs and pulled pork cooked on it came out well.  • Good build and compact footprint: Reviewers say it’s “well-built,” “portable/lightweight” relative to big pellet smokers. • Cleaner and faster than a traditional smoker: Because it’s electric and engineered, you avoid some of the fuss of wood-only smoking.

My wife and I have used a few different grills while we travel in our RV, but our favorite and most versatile grill is the Ninja woodfire grill XL. I’ve cooked chicken wings, burgers, steaks, ribs and veggies on this grill and we use it when we’re back in town from our RV travels. I love this grill so much that I just recently purchase another for my dad for Father’s Day. My dad is a really good cook, so I’m sure to have more recipes as he learns the features of this grill and tries out new recipes. While this review is of this specific grill, my wife and I have a few more Ninja kitchen appliances from the the original indoor air fryer/ grill… to the more recent Ninja Foodi 10-in-1 air fryer / oven. So some of our Ninja devices travel with us while other stay at home and we look forward to cooking with them when we are in-town.

My girlfriend and I bought this to use on our porch at our apartment. It worked great and made amazing meats. Will be keeping product and using smoking feature for a long time.

We conducted many hours of research to find a good quality electric grill that had other features like smoker etc. This grill was very compatible with the Current grill. However, we decided to go with the Ninga and are very pleased with our decision. We like that it is very portable and we can use it at home and also take it with us on RV camping trips.

Must have… we use this almost every night since we got it. We use it for steak, chicken, french fries, frozen family meals. pancakes. The grill is huge plenty of room for family of 5. Comes with grill plate and got flat pancake plate (also must have). I like new feature on plates having to electronics on bottom so can wash more easily. So glad we got this best grill air fryer smoker and can’t go wrong with Ninja products. Highly recommended.

I bought this for my husband for Father’s Day and he loves it! We have used it so much to cook ribs, whole chickens, chicken wings and legs, pork loins and everyone of them have turned out perfect! It’s so easy to use!!! Best grill ever!!!

this is a very good smoker if u dont want to have a real big smoker laying around its easy to setup and very easy to clean the grill grate u have to use a 14ga or lower power cable anything higher then 14 will trip the breaker this does smoke and cook meat faster then a normal smoker/grill

Since we purchased the Ninja Woodfire ProConnect Premium XL we have used it several times and we are in love. We have air fried chicken wings with smoke and the flavor and cook is amazing. We have also done a smoked pork butt roast and most recently dehydrated beef jerky. We love it!

Best purchase ice made in a while. It's easy to use and food tastes great without cooking yourself in the sun monitoring it like regular grills

Great product. Much larger than the original one. Great smoker. Can't be happier. This cooks better than my viking BBQ when I use the smoker.

I love this grill/smoker. Fits well on my townhome deck since I can’t have the real deal out there

Work super great, easy to use and food come so quickly love it

Drove up and Best Buy loaded it in my car and within 3 minutes I was driving to FL with my ninja! Put it on in the morning went to the beach and came back to the most delish beef brisket.

This grill cooks great and has been very reliable as far as the actual grilling goes. During the first year, the Wi-Fi connected without any issues, and the smart features worked exactly as advertised. However, after about a year, it started showing as offline and eventually wouldn’t connect at all. I’ve reset it and tried every troubleshooting step I could find, but nothing has worked. The grill itself still works well, but one of the main reasons I purchased this model was for the Wi-Fi connectivity. It’s disappointing to spend around $500 on a smart grill only to lose the smart features after just one year. If reliable Wi-Fi connectivity is important to you, I would keep this in mind before purchasing.

I’ve owned several grills in the past, but this one is much easier to use and clean than traditional grills. It performs great, and the food tastes amazing. Definitely a must-buy!

Size can do about two rack of ribs. Does not use a lot of pellets, smokes with amazing flavor. Perfect for family of four. The air fryer seems to work great and crisps all sides. Bake temp is fast. Love can smoke for ten minutes and finish with bake or other function. Comes with two packs of pellets.

This is an awesome smoker/ grill. I love it. Smoked out Christmas hams in it.
