Despite being a complete novice when it comes to outdoor cooking, my love of exactly the types of foods produced by the best grills, in particular barbecue grills, means I get excited whenever a new appliance promises me the same delicious, smoky flavors without the headache. The Ninja Woodfire Pro Connect XL is just that, and I was thrilled to get my hands on it for testing.
I struggled to unpack the heavy grill, but setting it up was easy, with only minimal assembly required. The control panel with physical controls was very user-friendly, and the option to use the accompanying app made it even more convenient, especially for monitoring the cooking progress remotely. In terms of performance, the grill excelled in both smoking and grilling, producing flavorful results with minimal effort.
