Ninja Woodfire Electric BBQ Grill & Smoker - Black vs Woodfire Pro Connect XL Electric BBQ Grill & Smoker — Comparison

The Ninja OG701UK Woodfire Electric BBQ Grill & Smoker in black costs £299 and sits as the standard Woodfire electric outdoor grill, while the Ninja Woodfire Pro Connect XL Electric BBQ Grill & Smoker costs £449 and moves up to the larger, connected model. OG701UK is the core seven-function outdoor cooker; Woodfire Pro Connect XL is the app-enabled upgrade for cooks who want more guidance and monitoring outside.

OG701UK uses Woodfire Technology, is powered by electricity, combines BBQ grill and smoker functions, works as an outdoor air fryer, offers seven cooking functions and is weather resistant. Woodfire Pro Connect XL also uses electric power and has seven functions, but adds the Pro Connect app and a built-in probe. Those two additions are the main reasons for the £150 increase, because they support remote guidance and more precise cooking checks, especially for meat.

OG701UK suits buyers who want Ninja’s Woodfire flavour, grilling, smoking and outdoor air frying without paying for connected extras. It is good for patios, balconies where electric cooking is permitted, and households that prefer simple controls. Woodfire Pro Connect XL is better for frequent outdoor cooks, larger gatherings and anyone who wants to monitor cooking through an app. The built-in probe is useful for steaks, joints and poultry, where doneness matters more than speed, though the higher price only makes sense if you will use those smarter features.

Bottom line: choose OG701UK if you want the cheaper Ninja Woodfire electric BBQ grill and smoker with seven cooking functions, outdoor air frying, weather resistance and electric convenience / opt for Woodfire Pro Connect XL if you want app control, the same seven-function versatility and a built-in probe for more confident cooking.
