Forget everything you thought you knew about grilling and smoking – this machine does it all, and it does it exceptionally well.

The size is truly XL – perfect for feeding a crowd or for meal prepping like a pro.

The included probe thermometers ensure perfect internal temperatures every time. Cleanup is also a breeze, which is a huge plus. Honestly, I can't recommend the Ninja Woodfire Pro Connect XL enough. It's worth every penny. If you're serious about outdoor cooking and want a grill that can do it all, look no further. This is the ultimate outdoor cooking machine!

I am a smoked food bbq guy and have been blown away with the results. This puts more smoke in 30 minutes on my food than my other pellet smokers and wood fired cookers do in 3 hours. We'll thought out. Super easy to clean and no open grill grate for drippings to fall through. Cold smoked cheese is excellent as well as smoked pizza. Made a better brisket than one i had won first place with on a different smoker. Stable cooking temperature delivers food faster than the wood pellet fired smokers, without the temperature swings they have trying to balance smoke and heat. negatives is the pellet hopper. Even tho it is small it's still holds more pellets than you need for a steak or burgers or a single pizza. You must fill the box for proper ignition, I bring this up because the pellet box isn't easy to remove when hot. When you are done cooking you of course turn the grill off but the pellets will continue to burn. Wish they had a little handle on the box to be able to remove them. App is excellent. Grill is sufficient in size for most items and is extremely portable. Awesome to have little bags of pellets instead of the big 40lbs. I truly believe this ended my quest for bbq smokers.

got me back outside on the grill again. It is a lot smaller than my old propane grill but I didn't need that giant any longer anyway. So far, smoking some chicken breast and thighs have been great. Did some steaks as well. I have been using the probes and for the steaks it was perfect. For the chicken breast with bones in them, I did have to push the cooking temp to 185 which was past the recommended temp in the app. Maybe I was not close enough to the bones with the probe so it misread the temp. The wood chips burn down very fast but for what I have cooked so far, the flavor into the chicken was perfect. Cleaning the grill surface has been easy but cleaning the top where the fan is, is not easy so don't let it get to caked on before cleaning that. I have found I rarely use the front panel except to turn it on. I don't find the controls there as easy to use as the phone app.

If you are wanting a smoke ring, this is not what you want. That requires a big Smoker that cooks for a long time. But this cooker is amazing, adds a wonderful smoke flavor to your food. You can air fry and smoke at the same time, so smoked fried wings are wow. Salmon turns out perfect cooked at 160° on Smoker for 45 minutes. Great flavor, very tender and juicy. Best cooker I have purchased in years and perfect for my apartment patio. I smoked some turkey legs that were amazing. I love this machine, it does so much and cooks so perfect it makes cooking easier.

Great Grill! Love the smoker feature.

Ok--well after much research about smokers etc--Finally decided on the Ninja--I'm sooo glad I did-- It really puts out lot of smoke for flavor but don't have to worry about keeping charcoals or woodchips burning and having to clean out ashes etc. The amount of ash left to dump is like a small handful. I've used this ninja 3 times with near perfect results. Yes there is a learning curve but lots of YouTube videos about using this Unit. Also unless your the type person who loves to watch food cooking closely--get the Ninja XL pro with the app for your phone--Is so easy to keep track of the cooking/smoking process and can even change cooking settings remotely --cook times cooking temps etc. If you need cook for large number of people, this Ninja is not huge but is fine for 2-4 people. Stick in the temperature probes close the lid and walk away and monitor the process from your indoor comfy chair --the lazy mans cooking grill ---and the crowning glory----sooo easy to clean the removable grill--has built in grease drain so once grill cools can wipe clean with paper towel get some of the grease off then just quick wash in the sink and your good to go.Non stick finish seems real durable but don't use metal grill tools may scratch it. I highly recommend this Ninja grill

Pretty cool grill, I named it "Let him cook" on the app. Pros: Overall it has some neat functions, a major appeal was if you had to take an emergency bathroom break, you could turn off the grill from your phone in the bathroom! So how can you complain with that?! Overall build quality seems good, it has some heft to it but can still move it around. I grilled some burgers and they tasted great, the app makes it super easy to time your food just have to remember it is still hot even if you have it set to be timed. Cons: Connectivity, if you press the circular button in for a few seconds it will make you pair the grill, this is great as a first time setup but if you forget what holding that button does then you'll have to reconnect all over again and it takes awhile to do this, if you turn off the grill it will not reconnect until you do the process all over again from within the app. Potentially a big issue, the grill plate has a drain to remove the oil to a grease collection container. However a lot of the time the grease does not go to the back drain as it should, some kind of tilt mechanism should have been included to tilt the grill/cooking plate back so the grease easily flows out. Otherwise it is a pain to clean, I tried to tilt it slightly myself while cooking by placing a towel underneath the grill legs but when I was cleaning the whole thing later I saw some grease had gotten under the plate and near the heating element. This could potentially cause a grease fire. Other things: For this price it would have been nice if it came with a stand rack so you could cook more food above like a hotdog rack or something. Also it should have included some kind of cover. Update be careful if you like to put cheese on your burgers while the grill runs. I placed them then shut the lid to let it cook for just a little longer and the Grill fan blew my cheese off :(

I have BBQed , grilled and smoked for years. I own every type of cooking device. I am pretty close to a master at this....I will tell you. With this woodfire grill there is a learning curve. But by watching others and practicing on your own. This Appliance comes 95% close to a wood or charcoal grill. And that's in flavor and bark. It blows away any gas grill. The only thing I cook on a gas grill is anything with a high fat content. But with this no more gas grill. Getting propane is a hassle. In my opinion on smaller cuts of meat it over smokes, but you just use less pellets or turn off the unit when you think you have enough smoke . Then restart it without smoke. Also this cooks one third faster than you are used to with a standard bbq...so you have to watch it and dial in your settings. After that its great! With any BBQer if you don't own a high quality instant read thermometer and temperature chart . You will be hit and miss. You will fail your guests....LOL This thing is built like a tank. The top is double walled and the unit is kind of heavy. The heating element under the grill plate covers the entire bottom. This defiantly sears the meat and no cold spots. Ok now the kicker...no mess! the pellet hopper leaves almost no ash and when the grate cools, wash it in the sink with hot water, dish soap and a brush.... So this is the only thing that is different from a charcoal or gas grill. The meat is a little wetter when cooked. Because the juice does not fall in the fire. So your hamburgers do not have that drier texture. If the engineer's made the grill grate deeper to lift the meat higher up that MIGHT help....just guessing I highly recommend this for personal or a small group, for fast , flavorful cooking with ease of clean up.
