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

First the honesty....my wife looked at the vids on you tube...thought it would be good and with a degree of indifference I ordered one .Secondly it's worth noting I have owned all sorts of bbqs and a dedicated smoker in the past and I genuinely did not have high hopes for it.Nothing prepared us for the results or it's capacity.1.65kg of smoked pulled pork in 4 hrs.24 chicken wings smoked in 20 minsFlat bread pizzas coming out every 3 -4 mins .Everything cooked wow....Yes really.But what sort of construction is it?....well for a start its deceptivly heavy and well built which for me comparing prices against a new bbq was a surprise.This is a machine that can be used indoors but only on smoker mode under exceptionally good extraction ( normally best outside) it's vertatile it will grill ,bake, smoke slow cook air fry ,in fact just about everything all with the ability to smoke under any setting.Chances are this will push aside any existing bbq already already have and add functions you never thought of.What's more it's electric is very frugal on wood pellets, easy to clean heats up very quickly, holds its temperature and is very easy to use.Got to hand it to ninja....This product has no real competitors and more than a few traditional bbq manufacturer's must be shaking their heads at the ability of this machine......watch you tube vids and believe.

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!

This is great. I’ve smoked a large brisket on it and it was delicious. Easy to use with several functions. Heats up quickly. Cooks quickly and coupled with a meat thermometer, which is essential in my view, gives perfect results! Cleaning it, however, is a bit of a pain! Other than that, I love it and use it whenever I get the opportunity. I’m not too sure about its usefulness at a family BBQ, however, as the cooking area isn’t that large.

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.
