The Ninja Woodfire Electric BBQ Grill & Smoker, priced at £299.99 and available at Argos, is being praised by shoppers for delivering a 'surprisingly authentic smokey flavour' while being 'more convenient than charcoal'. This multi-functional appliance can grill, smoke, air fry, roast, bake, reheat, and dehydrate, all powered by electricity. Simply plug it in for hassle-free outdoor cooking any day of the week.
Features and Functionality
The integrated smoker box burns 100% natural wood pellets to create authentic woodfire flavours. Users add one scoop of woodfire pellets and are advised to smoke low and slow for tender, juicy results. The air fryer functionality uses up to 75% less fat than deep frying, making it ideal for wedges and sides. The 28 x 37cm grill plate can fit eight burgers, 16 sausages, two racks of ribs, or a 2kg pork shoulder.
The BBQ is safe for gardens, patios, balconies, and other small outdoor spaces. It is weather-resistant and comes with non-stick grill plates, a Woodfire Pellet starter pack, pellet scoop, crisper basket, and a chef-created recipe guide.
Shopper Reviews
The Ninja Woodfire Electric BBQ has received high ratings on Argos. One shopper said: 'Absolutely love my Ninja electric BBQ. It’s incredibly easy to use, heats up quickly, and cooks food evenly with fantastic results every time. The smoky flavour is surprisingly authentic, and it’s so much more convenient than a traditional charcoal BBQ. Cleaning is straightforward too, making it perfect for regular use. I honestly wish I’d bought one sooner.'
Another added: 'I bought this last week and we are really impressed. Cooks food quickly, tastes great, and the product is a good size for storage.' A third person wrote: 'Really easy to use and a great tasting result every time.'
Some users noted minor drawbacks. One said: 'Only fault found for now when using pellets, more smoke came from the box than back of the machine as shown on video, trying to find if this is a common fault or normal.' Another commented: 'Speedy delivery, well packaged, excellent cooking and very easy to clean after. The only negative I can find is that as I'm an older person, it is quite heavy to lift and needs the stand, which I purchased later.'
