Cook Seven Ways For The Price Of One With This Outdoor Grill
Outdoor grilling and smoking are arguably the best ways to cook everything from beef and chicken to fish and vegetables. The flavor that a grill or smoker brings to food is something that cannot easily be duplicated indoors in an oven or on a stovetop.
For that reason, it remains one of the preferred cooking methods in the U.S. But not everyone who enjoys grilling has the space, time, or money for a large outdoor kitchen set up. And because most grills should be placed at least three feet from the house, they aren’t safe to use on most condominium and townhouse balconies.

The Grill Designed for Small Spaces and Travel
Those concerns are no longer an issue, thanks to the magicians at Ninja, who have created the new Woodfire Outdoor Grill. There’s nothing you can’t cook on this compact, lightweight, and durable outdoor grill.
Weighing in at only 30 pounds, it runs on electricity and can be plugged into any 15A outlet with 120V of power, including some RVs, so it’s perfect for camping and tailgating. There’s no fire, charcoal, propane, or risk of flare ups so it’s safe for most apartment, condominium, and townhouse balconies.
Seven Cooking Styles for the Price of One
The Ninja Woodfire Grill is a very affordable option, especially when you consider how many appliances you get in one compact package. The premium model grill comes with a built-in thermometer, a two-pound bag of Woodfire pellets (along with two sample bags of the All-Purpose and Robust blends), and a combo crisper basket. For a limited time, when you purchase the Ninja Woodfire Pro Outdoor Grill, it will include a free grill cover and veggie tray along with two roasting lifters.
Ninja’s Woodfire technology marries the best of gas and charcoal grilling by using a top heating coil and a convection fan, which circulates heat and smoke evenly for faster and more flavorful cooking. You’ll get a fantastic sear that seals in the flavor, and real grill marks on your meat by using the included grill grate
Add Ninja’s real hardwood Woodfire Pellets to the integrated smoke box for genuine wood-smoked flavor, no matter which cooking function you choose. Because the Ninja Woodfire Grill uses pellets for flavor (not as fuel), it only takes ½ cup of pellets to create an authentic woodfire flavor with your brisket, ribs, or chicken.
“The smoke feature is icing on the cake and added so much flavor to my food. With just a press of the smoke button you can create a delicious meal that tastes as if it had been grilling it all day,” said a reviewer.
The Ninja Woodfire Grill is more than just a grill and smoker — it’s also an outdoor air fryer, so it makes perfect smoky ‘fried’ chicken, chicken wings, French fries, and even add a woodfire flavor to your air fried onion rings. It’s extremely easy to use, so it is a great grill for novice outdoor chefs. Once it’s set up and plugged in, it’s as simple as flipping a switch to your cooking function, selecting time and temperature, adding Woodfire technology, and pressing the Start button. There’s no propane tank to prep or change and no lighter system to malfunction.
But if the grill, smoker, and air fryer cooking styles aren’t enough, you can also bake, roast, broil, and dehydrate for almost any style of food imaginable.
Another reviewer loved the simplicity of the Ninja Woodfire Grill. “You cannot mess it up with this grill. The recipe booklet it comes with is very beneficial. It has easy set-up directions, recipes, and the timer guide at the end of the brochure, which tells you the recommended temperature and cooking time for various foods.”
From the exterior, the Woodfire Grill might seem small but inside it’s anything but tiny, and it’s the ultimate party guest. The grill cooks up to 30 hot dogs at one time, two racks of ribs, six steaks, three pounds of chicken wings, or a nine-pound brisket.
