Woodfire Pro Connect XL OG901UK: app and probe
App control and a built-in probe tell you when food is done.
Check price on AmazonAffiliate link
Ninja's Woodfire range is electric. The heat comes from the mains, and a small smoker box burns a scoop of hardwood pellets purely for flavour. That makes these grills popular on balconies and small patios where charcoal and gas are awkward, though all of them are made for outdoor use only. The original Woodfire grill, the OG701UK, is the compact model. The Pro Connect XL, the OG901UK, is larger and adds a built-in probe and app control. The Woodfire Outdoor Oven is a different shape, built for pizza and roasting with a smoker function. Bundles that add pellets, covers or stands are common, so check what is in the box rather than comparing prices across bundles. This guide sets out the three models by capacity, cooking functions, probe, app control and what Ninja includes.
