Everything I want in one contraption

I'm kind of annoyed that I dithered and it took me so long to purchase this grill/smoker. It's perfect and does everything I want, and the app is a nice touch so I don't have to keep checking meat temps. So far everything I've grilled or smoked has turned out great. I have a large deck box that I store the Ninja in that doubles as a stand.

Works well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this about a month ago and I've finally been able to use it a couple times and this grill works very well. It gave my meat a delicious smokey flavor. The temperature was easy to control. Everything worked as it should.

Top of the line grill.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have fallen in love with this grill/smoker by Ninja. It comes with everything that I need to smoke, air fry, roast, broil and grill. It comes with pellets to smoke certain meats for awesome flavor. I was able to make ribs which gave me super juicy and tender ribs! I love how versatile it is for different cooking methods. It is very easy to clean up after use. The grease drip tray is handy when it comes to catching grease. The device can be operated through Bluetooth and it also has a meat thermometer. The handle of the grill is super sturdy especially on a flat table surface. The machine is a little on the heavy side but is easy to move around with help of two people. I also love how you don't have to use propane or charcoal which is important for my housing situation. I look forward to using this for super delicious meats and foods!!

Nice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ninja Outdoor Grill and Smoker ProConnect XL is impressive just out of the box! The thick gauge metal and solid construction is obvious. I only used the grill function to make some burgers – tasted awesome! – but this guy also can smoke, roast, bake, and broil. It has 2 thermometers so you can temp monitor 2 separate items; of course it links to your smart phone for alerts and you can have it shut down automatically when a certain temp is achieved. It's very easy to use as the controls are intuitive. There is also a grease management system that is easy to use and clean which is great for foods that have a higher fat content. I can't wait to use the smoker function and slow cook some ribs or pork butt. It's convenient, mobile for going to the park or a friend's house, and with the Bluetooth connection you're not tethered to it while it's cooking. I would highly recommend the Ninja Outdoor Grill and Smoker ProConnect XL. It's a very versatile and user friendly piece of cooking equipment and it has a permanent home in my kitchen!

Wish we had gotten one sooner

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So we've decided this will take the place of our huge smoker and our grill. Which will save us tons of room in the garage. I really do wish we had gotten one of these sooner because it's such a cool tool to have around. It's very handy. We just took it with us to the lake and set it up easily to cook at the campground. My husband loves the smoker part of it and it actually holds double the meat of what our giant smoker will hold. The food turned out delicious and it was very easy to use. We love this!!!

THIS GRILL IS INCREDIBLE!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE This!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Finally had a chance to use this with a number of guests that came over and it did not disappoint! We ended up making six NY Strips on the grill. After reading the instructions and watching a couple videos we plugged in the temp probes and started the smoke. A great feature is the app and the probes notifying you when you've hit temp and when to pull them off for rest. After I hit temp and pulled them off we let them rest and then I turned the grill over to Grill mode. Once I hit grill mode I put a sear on both sides for about 60 seconds to lock in flavor! The finished product was a half dozen amazing steaks with a great smokey flavor that you could taste through the entire cut. I absolutely love this grill and can't wait to try it on other types of meats!

Flexible, easy-to-use and great flavor

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Ninja as a gift and it has quickly become our go to grill because of the flexibility, ease-of-use, and it's easy to move in and out of the garage on our wheeled table. The size is perfect for just me and my wife, but also offers room for additional food when we have company. I have used it mostly for quick cooking - steaks, smoked chicken, seafood as the pellet life isn't as long at my larger PitBoss, but for searing steaks and a good smoked chicken, I find it is ideal. I also like it more than my Traeger Scout which is roughly the same size as controlling the temperature is much easier and more reliable, and it's flexibility. The flexibility of multiple cooking functions is really a bonus. The ability to air fry, bake banana bread, and broil have helped replace use of our oven in the house, especially in this hot Texas summer. I look forward to trying the dehydrate function this fall. We also really enjoyed it for wood fired pizza. We had to use a smaller pizza stone which is ideal for the two of us, but when we had family and wanted a larger pizza we had to use the oven in the house. The only downsize of the Ninja is the cooking space as you can't quite get a full rack of ribs on it and as I mentioned large pizza won't fit, but for compact space and 2-4 people it is a winner.

Fabulous smoker

I bought this for my husband and he loves using it & I love the taste & speed of cooking. The smoke gets into the food so good. We had recently bought a pit boss grill and he said if he had tried this grill first, we would not have gotten the pit boss? This Ninja grill will be replacing our camper grill for sure,
