This is the appliance I have been waiting for. Its performance is outstanding. No more obstacles due to the weather or environment, for smoking your favorite item, not to mention the convenience of inside smoking. The entree you are smoking comes out like you had smoked the item on an outside grill. The key is to smoke low temperature and slow. It will be delicious. Try the GE Profile Smart Indoor Smoker, you will love it. I would not hesitate to recommend this smoker.
So convenient
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This indoor smoker has changed the things we are able to eat during the cold winter months here. We are now able to smoke meats indoors, without the smoke, just the sweet, sweet smell of smoked food. This smoker is very simple to set up, get the app all set up, and ready to start the first smoking job, with the ease of the app and the instructions included, we were ready to begin in no time! There are 5 adjustable smoke settings, and 6 preset settings for this smoker, the preset options are nice for the beginner smoker, and the 5 adjustable settings are great for a person who has experience, and wants to experiment to get their perfect flavor. The pellets are very simple to use, and not many are required for each use, it is very efficient, and a lot less used than with an outdoor smoker. The pellets are collected in a water tank making clean up a breeze, as you let them cool and throw them out. The drip pan is very simple to clean as well, just wipe it out, then wipe clean with dish soap. The 3 racks, are also not hard to clean, as they can be soaked, and food comes right off. The built in temperature probe is very handy, as it is always updating the app with the temp of the food, as well as it is very simple to use without the app to see the temp of the food. The pulled pork that we had smoked turned out fantastic with this smoker, better than we ever imagined, the flavor was perfect, not strong, and definitely not weak. The pork pulled apart with ease, had the perfect smoked color, and flavor. The smoker is the depth of a normal size counter, after it cooled down, we cleaned it, we have it stored in the cabinet, as to not take up all our counter space. The smoker, does provide a strong smoking smell into our home, it is not vented out very well, making our home smell like a firepit. Overall the food smoked is great, flavor is amazing, easy set up, wonderful app control, we have no complaints!
BBQ at my House
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The GE Profile Smart Indoor Smoker with Active Smoke Filtration completely transformed my family's Thanksgiving dinner experience. I smoked a small turkey, bringing the outdoor essence right into the heart of my kitchen. The resulting smoky flavor was a definite crowd-pleaser. However, the active smoke filtration system fell short; lingering cooking smells persisted in my house the next day. Despite this drawback, I eagerly anticipate utilizing it for my annual summer BBQ. In our household, we desire a savory taste of grilled dishes year-round, this smoker will become a staple. The added convenience of Wi-Fi features, allowing for meal preparation even when I'm away at the office, makes it an invaluable addition to my kitchen. I love the idea of you setting your smoke level so you can have your meat the flavor of your liking. Thanksgiving ain't never been better!
Works pretty well
Overall the unit works pretty well. Like any smoker there's a learning curve for it. The only 1 star ding is for the waste bin that won't stay shut and keeps slipping forward. I had to secure that with a bit of painters tape to keep it from triggering the 'open bin' alert.
EXCELLENT!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I moved to an apartment and wanted a smoker but had no outside space, THIS IS PERFECT!! I MEAN PERFECT IN EVERY WAY!! I can try out recipes and have fun while trying to be a perfectionist in the comfort of my home. I couldn't wait to try this so I did ribs first. They turned out really good and my apartment smelled wonderful too!! I tried a brisket and IT WAS GREAT!! I am going to try a ham tomorrow but am so pleased with this product!! I'm still figuring the app out but am really happy with the indoor smoker and so pleased a trusted company produced such a wonderful product for those who do not have outdoor spaces. I strongly recommend this to anyone who wants to have the opportunity to smoke meat!! I am sure I'll be using this every weekend and for many special occasions. Quality, well made, easy and fun smoker! THANK YOU GE FOR ANOTHER QUALITY, USEFUL PRODUCT!! I LOVE THIS!!!
If you want to smoke, this is it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Simply unbelievable. The kitchen smells like BBQ but there is not one puff of smoke outside this machine. And it smokes great!!! The machine is easy to use and has presets for those who are experienced. If you make a change (temp, time, smoke, etc) it will remember it for the next time (yes, you can reset if you need to). When it is done cooking, the temp drops and it goes into warm mode. No more waking up in the middle of the night to time the cooking right. I could not be happier
Old Smoker - Seriously, this is great!
I've fit 12 (could have been 16) jumbo chicken thighs; several dozen wings; two whole chickens; two racks of ribs; a big butt; a good-sized brisket; and three salmon filets... Come on, how much more do you need for the family, yourself, even a modest party, especially from something compact enough for the countertop? The taste, close enough to a match to outdoor to satisfy all but the snobbiest smokers. Want crispier exterior? Add a little sugar to the rub (I love and get great results using brown sugar for caramelization). Smoke in the room? No, there's some scent of smoke, but very light and dissipates quickly; if you truly follow instructions, you'll be pleasantly surprised. Of course, if that's not enough, spark a scented candle, or set it near a small air purifier and you've got it! Easy clean-up? Absolutely, hello dishwasher and a light wipe-down in the cabinet. Do yourself a favor and get this thing, and download the app, it's so easy and honestly the output is delicious. The engineers are genius; I can't wait to see what they do with version 2!
Indoor smoking game-changer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently had the pleasure of diving into the world of indoor smoking with the GE Profile Indoor Smoker. The convenience of smoking meat indoors with a plug-in appliance is huge to me, but I was a bit skeptical about how well it would actually smoke meat and how well it would filter the smoke. So far, I've been super impressed with the results! I was really impressed by the build quality of this appliance - It feels solid and its sleek and modern design is very attractive. Unpacking and assembly was very simple, basically just install the racks and drip pan, then plug it in. It comes with an app that I thought was going to be a gimmick, but it turned out to be incredibly convenient for remotely monitoring temperatures from my phone. The remote temperature monitoring and convenience of smoking without going outside are total game-changers! I tested it out by smoking some St. Louis-style ribs, and the results were nothing short of spectacular! I prepped the ribs with a dry rub the night before to allow the flavors to meld. The next day, I loaded the smoker with hickory wood pellets, set the temperature to a moderate 225°F, and let the magic happen. I bumped the temperature up to 350 for the last 30 minutes to crisp them up. I was very happy with the ribs: They had a deep smoky flavor, a nice crispy exterior, and retained a tender and juicy interior. Clean-up was a simple wipe down and washing out the drip tray. You can definitely smell smoke within the house when it's running, kinda of like the same smell you'd get out of baking in the oven, but with just a bit more smoke. I think the filtration system does a really good job and it did better than I expected. I actually like the smell as it reminds me of when we'd burn wood in the fireplace growing up. Overall, I've been really impressed with the GE Profile Indoor Smoker. It easily beat my expectations: It makes smoking much faster and more convenient. The temperature probe in the app makes it incredibly easy to monitor progress, and clean-up is a breeze. I'm really looking forward to try out smoking new things like olives or brussels sprouts.
Impossible, Accomplished.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Prior to owning this machine; if you told me you were going to smoke an 11 pound pork butt indoors, I would have laughed and advised you that it wasnt possible. This week I have done just that and more with perfect results. The Profile indoor smoker is a marvel of engineering that I cant quite wrap my head around. I wont say that you cant tell its running, there is an ever so slight yet pleasant aroma of wood smoke that is noticeable in whatever room you have it setting. However there is no visible haze or smoke and it isnt intrusive by any means. As far as the food, everything I have run through it from the aforementioned pork, to brisket, and down to wings has come out flawless. The unit heats evenly and in the same amount of time that my outdoor smoker takes. I will say that it is incredibly efficient, the Profile smoker uses about a 3rd of the amount of pellets my outdoor unit consumes for an equivalent time period. All the racks and interior components are dishwasher safe and so far have come out looking like new. I will add that I am a stickler for safety; I had two separate carbon monoxide detectors staged in the room with the smoker. Neither alerted and on my professional model no elevation of ppm was noted. I cannot fathom how GE has managed to accomplish all this but I know i am very pleasantly surprised. I look forward to many years of delicious service. Another absolute home run in the G.E. Profile line.
