Ninja is a newer entrant to outdoor cooking, but the Woodfire line has built a real following fast by combining grilling, smoking, and air-frying-style functions in one compact electric unit — a different value proposition than Traeger’s pellet-only approach.
Ninja Woodfire Pro Connect: multi-function in a small footprint
Pro Connect grills, smokes, bakes, roasts, and even air-fries in one unit that plugs into standard household power rather than requiring a large pellet hopper setup — a genuinely different proposition for smaller patios or apartment-adjacent outdoor space.

Traeger Woodridge: the established pellet grill workhorse
Traeger’s mid-tier Woodridge line remains the reference point for traditional pellet grilling — larger cooking capacity, a bigger hopper, and the smoke profile that comes specifically from an actual wood-pellet fire rather than an electric heating element.
