The consensus
What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
The Ninja Woodfire Pro Connect XL is the versatility pick across the reviewers we read. smokedbbqsource.com's verdict called it a versatile outdoor electric grill with real wood smoke flavor, air frying and grilling in one unit, and a high-trust r/smoking thread recommended it because 'it's just so dang easy and the food tastes amazing.' r/ninjawoodfire owners echoed that it heats fast, gets hot, and is a 'total game-changer' for compact outdoor cooking, with one noting the cheaper OG850 covers most of the same functions if you don't need every premium feature. Reviewers are careful to set expectations.

- High-trust r/smoking and active r/ninjawoodfire communities praise ease of use and flavor

Reviewers are careful to set expectations. r/ninjawoodfire members stress this is an electric woodfire device that produces a pellet-style flavor 'nowhere near as intense as charcoal,' and the Ninja's own community flagged a loud beeper during operation. One sharkninja.com owner kept their older Traeger for big jobs but loved the Ninja's mobility. The trust-weighted takeaway: a do-everything (grill, smoke, air fry, bake) electric unit that's outstanding for small spaces, with milder smoke and a smaller capacity than dedicated pellet cabinets.

I highly recommend this smoker because it's just so dang easy and the food tastes amazing.
Don't fall for marketing. Get the og850 if it's cheaper. It's an awesome grill, it's a very good air fryer, it's a great smoker / baker.
