# Indoor Grilling Machines The Element Smokless BBQ Won't Set off the Fire Alarm By Sarah Moore | Published 2012-06-22 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/element-smokless-bbq References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/element-smokless-bbq-inside/23038/) & [ideacious](http://ideacious.com/details2000000064.htm) If the thought of not being able to grill up a steak in the winter months is too much to handle then the Element Smokless BBQ will be just the thing you need to sear your meat and veggies all year long. The [indoor grill](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ge-profile-indoor-smoker) provides an authentic [charbroiled taste](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-huntsman-kettle-kamado) to your food while still being safe to use indoors when it gets too cold or too rainy to flip burgers outside. The device is essentially a two-tiered pan with lava rocks in between the two layers that rapidly heat up and flame. These rocks however, do not produce any smoke but still manage to give food a [smokey flavor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weber-smoque-pellet-smoker). This is a miraculous concept for all the grill masters out there who desperately miss using their BBQs when the summer time ends. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Indoor Grilling Machines:** The rise of indoor grilling machines that allow for a safe and authentic grilling experience year-round. - **Smokeless Technology:** Innovations in smokeless technology that offer a solution for indoor grilling while eliminating the need for ventilation systems. - **Healthy Eating:** Increased focus on healthy eating and home cooking, leading to the popularity of indoor grilling machines. ### Where This Applies - **Home Appliance:** Opportunity for the home appliance industry to create innovative indoor grilling machines that cater to a growing health-conscious consumer base. - **Hospitality:** In the hospitality sector, indoor grilling machines can be used to offer a unique dining experience at restaurants and hotels. - **Outdoor Recreation:** Opportunities for the outdoor recreation industry to expand their offerings to include indoor grilling machines that create an authentic outdoor experience indoors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Smoke-Free Countertop Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powerxl-smokeless-grill.md) - [Charcoal-Like Indoor Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carbon-graphite-grill.md) - [Indoor High-Heat Steak Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-steakhouse-grill.md) - [Smokeless Indoor Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourmia-foodstation.md) - [Smokeless Compact Indoor Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/city-grill-1.md) - [High-Performance Electric Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intelligent-electric-grill.md) - [Sleek Fume-Removing Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instant-indoor-grill.md) - [Infrared Indoor Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cozytime-lumo.md) - [Filter-Equipped Indoor Smokers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indoor-pellet-smoker.md)
