I love outdoor grilling but living in the northern climate, I choose to move indoors in winter.  I have owned 3 grills previous to buying the Ninja Foodi grill.  The truth is I've never been really happy with my previous grills for different reasons:  too much smoke, difficult to clean, etc.  Now with my new Ninja grill, I don't experience any of that.  Cooking could not be easier.  No smoke and easy clean up.  I'm finally a happy year-round griller now!
