Smart Control. Real Woodfire Flavour. Bigger Outdoor Cooking.
Take outdoor cooking to the next level with the Ninja Woodfire Pro Connect XL Electric BBQ Grill & Smoker OG901UK. Combining XL cooking capacity with smart app connectivity and real wood-smoke flavour, this versatile outdoor grill makes it easier to cook for family gatherings, summer parties and weekend BBQs.
Connect to the Ninja Pro Connect App to monitor cooking progress from your phone, adjust time and temperature and receive useful cooking notifications. Pair this with the built-in digital temperature probe and Smart Cook System for greater confidence when cooking steaks, chicken, fish and larger cuts.
Seven cooking functions provide plenty of versatility beyond conventional grilling, while Ninja's Woodfire Technology uses real wood pellets to add authentic smoky flavour. Because the appliance itself is electrically powered, there's no gas or charcoal required.
Pro Connect App Control
Spend less time standing beside the grill and more time enjoying your gathering with the Ninja Pro Connect App.
Compatible connected functionality lets you monitor and control your cook from your phone, with features including:
- Remote cooking progress monitoring
- Temperature and time adjustments
- Cooking countdown information
- Real-time cooking notifications
- Prompts to add food, flip or serve
- Programmable cooking guidance for meat, fish and poultry
- Doneness selection from rare through to well done
Combined with the temperature probe, this allows you to keep track of food without continuously opening the grill or hovering over it throughout the cooking process.
XL Capacity for Bigger BBQs
The Woodfire Pro Connect XL is designed for larger gatherings, offering 30% more cooking capacity than the previous models referenced in the supplied information.
Its generous 45 × 31cm grill plate provides space for larger quantities of food, with stated capacity examples including:
- Up to 10 burgers
- Up to 40 hot dogs
- Up to 2 racks of ribs
- 2 whole 3kg chickens
The Cook & Crisp Basket can also air fry up to 1.8kg of sides, giving you plenty of flexibility when preparing food for family and friends.
Capacity examples relate to individual cooking scenarios and should not be interpreted as meaning all listed quantities can be cooked simultaneously.
Real Woodfire Flavour
Ninja's Woodfire Technology combines the convenience of electric cooking with flavour generated from real wood pellets.
The integrated smoke box uses 100% hardwood pellets for flavour, allowing you to add an authentic smoky character without using charcoal as the appliance's heat source.
Simply add the appropriate quantity of pellets using the supplied scoop and let Woodfire Technology infuse your food with smoke as it cooks.
Electric Power – No Gas or Charcoal
The OG901UK is powered by electricity, so there's no need to buy gas cylinders or light charcoal before you can start cooking.
This provides convenient temperature control and removes much of the preparation associated with a conventional charcoal BBQ while still allowing real wood pellets to be used for smoky flavour.
The wood pellets provide flavour rather than serving as the grill's primary heat source.
Built-In Digital Temperature Probe
Take more of the guesswork out of cooking meat and fish with the supplied digital temperature probe.
Insert the probe into your food and use the Smart Cook functionality to monitor internal temperature while cooking.
This is particularly useful for:
- Steaks
- Chicken
- Fish
- Large joints and cuts
Connected monitoring can alert you to cooking progress, helping you achieve your preferred result without repeatedly checking food manually.
7 Outdoor Cooking Functions
The Ninja Woodfire Pro Connect XL is much more than a conventional electric BBQ, with seven cooking functions built into one outdoor appliance.
- Grill – ideal for burgers, steaks, skewers and vegetables
- Smoke – add low-and-slow smoky character to ribs, larger cuts and whole chickens
- Air Fry – prepare crisp sides using rapidly circulated hot air
- Roast – cook joints, vegetables and larger dishes
- Bake – prepare breads, desserts and baked side dishes
- Dehydrate – make dried fruit, jerky, herbs and garnishes
- Reheat – bring suitable leftovers back up to serving temperature
This versatility makes the OG901UK useful beyond traditional summer BBQ food, allowing it to handle a much wider variety of outdoor meals throughout the year.
High-Heat Grilling up to 260°C
Grill at temperatures up to 260°C for high-heat outdoor cooking.
This makes it suitable for classic BBQ favourites including burgers, steaks, vegetables and skewers, while the electric heating system provides straightforward temperature control.
Air Fry Outdoor Sides
The supplied Cook & Crisp Basket expands the grill's versatility by allowing you to prepare air-fried sides outdoors.
With capacity for up to 1.8kg, it's useful for preparing larger batches of chips and other suitable sides alongside your main BBQ dishes.
Woodfire Pellet Starter Packs Included
Everything you need to start experimenting with Woodfire flavour is included, with starter packs of two different pellet blends.
- Robust Blend – suited to foods such as beef, pork and chicken
- All-Purpose Blend – suited to foods including fish and vegetables
Additional compatible Woodfire pellets are available separately when the supplied starter packs have been used.
Weather-Resistant Outdoor Design
The Ninja Woodfire Pro Connect XL is designed specifically for outdoor cooking and features IPX4-rated weather resistance.
This makes it a practical option for outdoor spaces and changing British weather conditions, although it should always be installed, operated and stored in accordance with Ninja's outdoor-use and electrical safety instructions.
Easy Cleaning
Practical removable components help make cleaning easier after cooking, including the grill plate and grease tray.
Allow components to cool before cleaning and follow Ninja's instructions regarding which individual parts can be washed and the appropriate cleaning method for each.
