Electric barbecue with multiple functions

The Ninja Woodfire Pro Connect XL is an electric barbecue that serves as the base for a more versatile appliance. It combines seven cooking modes, including air fryer, roasting, and dehydrating.

True smoking function and remote monitoring

It also includes a true smoking function powered by wood pellets. It is even possible to monitor the cooking process remotely with an app.

Promotional price and initial cost

This makes it suitable for use throughout the year, especially as it is currently available for less than 300 euros with a promo code. Initially priced at 449.99 euros, the Ninja Woodfire Pro Connect XL is now available for 283.99 euros on the Sharkninja website with the code DEALS20.

Design and dimensions

The design of the Ninja Woodfire Pro Connect XL clearly does not compromise on size. With its large dimensions (51 cm wide, 41 cm deep, and 57 cm high) and 18 kg weight, it is not the type of appliance that can be moved around easily.

Materials and features

The overall design inspires confidence with a very careful assembly, combining metal, stainless steel, and robust plastic with an elegant blue and black color scheme. On the right side, there is the famous wood pellet reservoir that defines this range.

Heat-resistant handle and language limitation

The handle of the lid does not conduct heat, so it can be opened without gloves during cooking. One minor regret, however, is that the control panel is only in English.

Versatility and temperature range

The Ninja Woodfire Pro Connect XL impresses primarily with its versatility. Far from being a simple electric barbecue, it combines no fewer than 7 cooking modes (with a temperature range from 40 °C to 260 °C) to transform your terrace into a true outdoor kitchen.

Cooking functions and smart features

It obviously includes the classic Grill function to sear your meats and vegetables with nice markings, but also the Smoke mode, which uses the integrated wood pellet reservoir to give ribs or slow-cooked meat an authentic smoky flavor. Under the lid, the device includes everything necessary to function as an oil-free fryer with the Air Fry mode.

Additional functions and connectivity

To complete the picture, Ninja incorporates the Roast, Oven, Dehydrate, and Reheat functions. This is therefore an ultra-complete device, especially as it comes with a smart temperature probe connected to a mobile app to monitor cooking precisely and never miss a piece of meat again.
