Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Ninja Woodfire ProConnect XL premium grill does a very good job at cooking meat to the desired temperature, and with the app makes it easy to set the desired temperature (as well as fully control and monitor the cooking process). We cooked once to temperature and once to time, time is good when you don't want to use the thermometer, but the thermometer is easy and helps ensure things are cooked right. We cooked one batch of meat with the woodfire flavor mode (with the robust blend wood pellets), and one batch without. Ultimately, we decided as a group that we didn't like the smoky taste/smell of the woodfire mode pellets -- but the meat was otherwise cooked perfect (medium rare, 135 degrees), and almost none was left when we were done eating (so it couldn't have been that bad). App control was easy, but you may want to make sure Wi-Fi reaches wherever you will place the grill. It has air frying capabilities, but don’t expect to grill and air fry at the same time (if you want to prepare meat and French fries, expect one of them to be cold while you’re cooking the other). After receiving this grill, I opted to purchase (not yet received) accessories like drip trays (only one included), a grill cover, and a stand -- which shows that I am intending to keep using it, and would recommend it.

The Ninja Woodfire ProConnect Premium XL outdoor grill is a game-changer for outdoor cooking enthusiasts. With its innovative design and advanced features, it's a top-tier addition to any backyard or patio. The first thing that stands out is the build quality. It's sturdy and well-constructed, showcasing Ninja's commitment to durability. The XL size offers ample cooking space, perfect for large gatherings and family barbecues. It's ideal for grilling, smoking, and even roasting. One of the standout features is the ProConnect technology, which allows for effortless and customizable cooking experiences. The interchangeable grill grates make it easy to switch between various cooking styles, from direct grilling to smoking. The versatility is unmatched and caters to both beginners and seasoned grill masters. The wood pellet system is a revelation. It imparts a rich, smoky flavor to your food, elevating the taste to a whole new level. The temperature control is precise, thanks to the digital control panel. You can set and maintain your desired temperature, ensuring consistent results every time. The grill also comes with a variety of cooking modes, such as low and slow smoking, high-temperature grilling, and even a searing option. The sear zone is a fantastic addition for achieving those perfect grill marks and caramelization on your steaks and burgers. Cleanup is a breeze due to the easy-to-empty ash cup and the non-stick grates. The grill is also equipped with a grease management system, making it relatively mess-free.

The Ninja Woodfire™ Pro Outdoor Grill & Smoker with Built-in Thermometer might be the answer to the mess and fuss of a smoker. I was a skeptic at first taking the "short cut" and using this. I was very pleasantly surprised in its ability to smoke. First start by downloading the app, a cool feature that has directions on how to do just about everything. Almost, almost makes it fool proof. You can name your Ninja-Woodfire and have some fun, I named mine Smokin Hot. The app will ask if it is ok to pre-warm the unit and will even tell you if the lid is open. I started with a pork shoulder and followed the timed cooking charts in the app. You can search the app for just about any food or any mode of cooking. The app pre-heats, starts the smoker ignition and will notify you when the unit is ready for you to add your meat. You can start, stop and adjust the unit from anywhere you have a internet connection. I checked the pork shoulder at the recommended finish time, which was 5 hours later. I prepared the pork shoulder and added the woodfire pellets per the directions. Just an observation, don't try and use this inside or in or near the garage....it is a smoker and it does smoke...I would adjust the cook time a bit and here is where the first issue is. This unit has an "optional" thermometer which in my opinion should come with, after all the temp in the cooking process is the most important thing. It would really prevent over cooking, which is an easy mistake particularly when using a new appliance. Anyway, the shoulder came out pretty good, fell apart and had awesome smoky flavor. Which leads me to my second fault, this unit says it is only compatible with the Ninja Woodfire pellets. Again in my opinion, this may be a problem down the road when/if Ninja stops making Woodfire pellets. I'll be investigating this to see if off brand pellets will work, I suspect they will. For my next endeavor I tried the grille feature and cooked some hamburgers, unfrozen. There is no recipe I could find, but who really needs a recipe for that. The grill works as it should for an electric grille. Cook time was very similar if not less than my gas grill. Next I tried the air fryer feature with some pizza rolls. The initial time listed for 1.5 bags seemed about right as compared to what my small air fryer would take so I adjusted the time based on only cooking a dozen or so. Worked like a charm. All things considered this is a great electric grill, smoker, air fryer unit. A couple issues, it does not come with the thermometer which in my opinion is absolutely necessary, the woodfire pellets and lack of a stand or base as a standard accessory are not deal killers but consideration as to the over all cost to really make this unit shine. Even though there are a couple down falls, I would absolutely recommend this to a friend.

Product is awesome! Very easy to use and easy cleanup. If you want grilled a smoked food without the hassle of charcoal this is for you.

After tasting food from a more popular pellet grill I did not have high hopes for this at all. But to my surprise its actually not bad. For a family of 2 this is a good alternative to my BIG GREEN EGG which is great to cook meats but takes a lot of time to set up and shut down. So If you just want a burger or steak and want that grill flavor this is the perfect thing to have. Will be looking forward to not heating the house up using the stove/oven during the summer time.

Just starting to figure out how it works. Made good bacon this morning.

I live in an apartment, and this works great as I can't have an open flame grill within 25 feet of my apartment. This grill and smoker combination is a lifesaver. It's very versatile in its ability to cook multiple items. This is a gamechanger for those who desire grilled and smoked food that live in apartments.
