The Verdict & Buyer Consensus
The Ninja OG701UK Woodfire Electric BBQ Grill Smoker has achieved an outstanding reputation among British consumers as a hassle-free, highly effective replacement for conventional charcoal and gas barbecues. Reviewers routinely praise its versatile 7-in-1 cooking modes, rapid preheating, and the authentic wood-smoked flavour delivered by the pellet box. While overwhelmingly praised for juicy, evenly cooked meats, some buyers report occasional electrical tripping issues with the built-in RCD plug, find the lid and fan area fiddly to degrease, and note the cooking surface is best suited for small groups of 2 to 4 people. Overall, it is an exceptional outdoor multi-cooker ideal for patio dining, camping with electric hookups, and effortless weeknight grilling.
Key Specifications & Official Highlights
7-in-1 Outdoor Cooking Versatility
Offers seven distinct outdoor cooking functions in a single countertop appliance: BBQ Grill, Smoker, Air Fry, Roast, Bake, Reheat, and Dehydrate. This allows you to smoke ribs low and slow, roast whole joints, or outdoor air fry sides using up to 75% less fat than traditional deep frying.
Integrated Woodfire Flavour Technology
Features an integrated convection smoker box that burns 100% natural hardwood pellets solely for rich flavour infusion rather than fuel. Using just a single scoop of pellets, it delivers authentic wood-smoked taste across any cooking mode with the press of a button.
2400W High-Heat Electric Searing
Equipped with a powerful 2400W electric heating element engineered for UK household mains (220–240V) that reaches searing temperatures up to 260°C. It eliminates the prep time and safety concerns of gas or charcoal while providing fast, consistent heat recovery.
Generous Family Grilling Capacity
Includes a 28cm x 37cm non-stick ceramic-coated grill plate that fits up to 8 burgers, 16 sausages, 2 racks of ribs, or a 2kg pork shoulder. The included crisper basket adds versatility, holding up to 1.5kg of potato wedges or 1kg of chicken wings.
IPX4 Weather-Resistant Outdoor Build
Engineered with an IPX4 water-resistance rating and premium durable materials built to withstand year-round British weather. Its compact footprint (H34 x W46 x D46 cm) and integrated side carry handles make it easily portable for patios, balconies, and campsites.
What Customers Love
✓Authentic Woodfire Flavour
Owners consistently applaud the integrated smoker box, noting that burning just a small scoop of hardwood pellets infuses genuine, rich barbecue flavour into steaks, burgers, ribs, and roast chicken without lighting messy charcoal.
✓Versatile Multi-Function Cooking
With 7 cooking programs including grill, air fry, roast, bake, and smoke, buyers love having an all-in-one outdoor kitchen appliance that can effortlessly crisp side dishes like chips while smoking whole joints.
✓Speed and Intuitive Guidance
Users appreciate how quickly the electric elements reach cooking temperature, along with digital display prompts and audio beeps that instruct exactly when to preheat, add food, and flip meats for perfectly timed results.
✓Convenient Low-Mess Grilling
Reviewers love eliminating the tedious prep, ash, and soot of traditional barbecues; the removable non-stick grill plate, crisping basket, and grease drip tray make standard post-meal clean-up remarkably fast.
Things to Consider (Drawbacks)
•Fiddly Lid Interior Cleaning
While the removable ceramic grill plate washes easily, multiple owners note that smoke tar, fat, and baked-on grease rapidly coat the upper lid and fan guard, making thorough degreasing awkward and time-consuming.
•Electrical Sensitivity and Tripping
A notable number of reviewers experienced nuisance tripping of the built-in RCD safety plug or house fuses, particularly when starting ignition or running the high-draw grill through long extension leads.
•Awkward Power Switch Placement
Several buyers express frustration with the master on/off switch, which is tucked underneath the base behind a leg, making it difficult to reach without feeling blindly or lifting the heavy unit.
•Compact Capacity and Weight
Weighing roughly 13–14 kg, users describe it as very heavy to transport, and caution that the grill area comfortably feeds only 2 to 4 people, making large family cookouts require sequential batch cooking.

The best thing we have bought this year. So simple to use and the food is incredible. I would highly recommend getting a meat thermometer to check that the food is cooked. Cannot recommend this highly enough.

Great purchase. Used twice, once for 3 of us and the other for a large party. Worked a treat both times. The smoker will take some getting used to. Reviews are good but it takes time to find your taste. Some things were beaut with it, some weren’t. But that’s probably person preference. People seemed impressed with the meat. Cooked quickly and well. All in all a good buy though.

A really convenient and easy to use grill that makes a BBQ flavour simple to achieve at any time. The added flexibility of being able to air fry, roast and smoke food add up to a great bit of kit.

Got a ninja air fry indoors which is great so I thought I would give this a try as I find most barbaques messy to use. This cooks quickly and well with the smoker adding taste and aroma. Simple to clean in the dishwasher and has a drip tray which collects all the mess. Could be bigger but in fairness there is now a larger model on the market. Try the garlic bread recipe from the booklet - sensational Very well built with some clever features.

This thing is a brilliant bit of kit and we are over the moon with it. Do not hesitate in buying one- you will not regret it. BBQ will now be redundant I cannot think of a negative and we have used it a lot since purchasing it.

This is an outstanding piece of kit. Whatever mode you use it in the results are wonderful. If you’re into smoked meats ( ribs, brisket, pulled pork. ) or fish ( salmon, tilapia, king prawns. ), this baby is for you. The grill and air fryer are also top notch and a must have on cookout days with family and friends. Suddenly I’m the most popular guy in our crowd on a sunny day ??.
