The new one arrived today. I love the new accessory included in the VIP edition

Yeah right! That little marketing strategy will turn things around.

No pineapple??

So the question is why did my Ninja XL go kaput? I keep mine outside and while I have a cover for it, I'm too lazy to use it. So I think water intrusion into the front panel is my guess as to the cause. We've had a lot of rain here in VA recently. I'll be using the cover religiously from now on. If you don't have a cover for yours, you may want to consider one.

We love ours so far. It is still relatively new. We have cooked on it about 4 meals. Be using it again this week.

Owning a Ninja Woodfire means that "someday" you will need to clean it. And that "someday" came for me yesterday. Not really difficult, just messy.

I found that using one of these dowel pins (sticks?) worked very well for in-between the ridges on the grill. You can push the grease and stuff to the back of the grill and escort it down into the drain on the back. I used a piece of paper towel during part of the process and it cleaned up very nicely.

As for the other areas like the lid, Easy Off Cleaner/Degreaser (NOT over cleaner!) cut through the grease like a knife in butter. Then just wipe it up and call it good. (Note: I don't really think it's a good idea to use the degreaser directly on the part of the grill that food sits on!)

It'll never be "new" again, but it's not to bad.
