This thing is a game changer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Im a huge smoker fan. I have a pellet smoker. A gravity charcoal smoker. And now this indoor pellet smoker. It’s not very big so if your needing it for big jobs it may not be ideal but for a family home and dinners it is absolutely amazing. I was very skeptical that it would smoke up the house but not a single bit escapes and it does such an amazing job. So delicious.
Great features and size!!!
I like the size, enjoy the features, seamless integration with the phone ap for iPhone is wonderful. I enjoy the preset features for cuts of meat, the temp probe and phone alerts make smoking easy. Reading the directions is important on this model!!!!
Absolute game changer (check my salsa recipe!)
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a dream come true, especially if you are a BBQ enthusiast, or if you like smoking. Stop thinking, and buy it. I have used this in my home for at least a month. Everything from unboxing experience to the feel of the knob and the study-ness on your counter - left a great impression. Also it does not change your indoor air, the filtration system they are using is next level. I think it feels no more concerning than a indoor microwave. Also because you use this over hours of use, this is kind of like a smoke powered sous-vide cooker. It cookes from the inside out and on a slow cook basis. The control panel and buttons are top notch. You won't find confusing menus or weird icons here, things are laid out like they make sense. It reminds me of the first iPod. There is a knob to navigate or tweak, and only two buttons (back and start). If you have used an iPod or a smart phone, you will be at home here, and will appreciate the thought they have put in to the control/design. Its plenty spacious inside without making it too big to fit on a counter top. Its a big heavy, so you will likely want to make sure you have enough space on your kitchen setup. The food is absolutely amazing. Everything is juicy, delicate and reveals the true flavor, rather than imparting the fake chemical smoke flavor. The pellets you use matter, so make sure you use the best wood you can afford. My absolute favorite is the new smoke salsa. Here is what you do: - Jalapeno, sliced seeded. - Anejo peppers, sliced seeded. - Tomatoes (thick slices, seeds optional) - Lime halves (yes!, slice limes, and smoke them). - Onions Smoke the ingredients above. Most of the ingredients will be ready at the same time. Mix all of this with some cilantro and optionally can add more diced tomatoes. Squeeze the juice of the smoken lemon. Add salt and pepper to taste. You will not experience better salsa than this!
Great innovative product
We’ve only used this smoker once but it was dynamite! Only the slightest of smoke smell in the house (which smelled heavenly). We smoked a pork butt and made pulled pork out of it and it was delicious! It took a little longer than expected but it was worth it.
Wow, that sounds incredible! We're so glad you're enjoying your smoker and all its features! One of our favorites is the Five Adjustable Smoke Settings, which let you customize the level of smoke with five precise levels of real wood flavor—giving your ribs and pork that extra kick! And with the innovative Efficient Pellet Usage, this indoor electric smoker uses only a fraction of your favorite wood pellets to achieve the same great results, making it both cost-effective and convenient. Thank you for trusting us with your appliances! We are confident you'll enjoy this smoker for many years to come!
I'm in love
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I saw an indoor counter top smoker I thought I was dreaming. We like to smoke brisket year round and being in the Midwest it makes for uncomfortable weather conditions while smoking. This indoor smoker is beautiful and amazing. It has several cooking modes including Brisket which makes it super easy. The racks are very nice and has a drip pan as well as thermometer. It also has an auto keep warm feature that is phenomenal. This was easy to set up. I was slightly intimidated at the thought of operating it but it was a breeze and comes with very detailed instructions. This is a MUST buy!
Woww
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The GE Profile Smart Indoor Smoker is like the rockstar of my kitchen. Smoking food indoors? Heck yes. It's a game-changer. The smart features make me feel all tech-savvy, controlling everything from my phone. Ribs, salmon, you name it – this thing nails the smoky flavor. Cleanup? Surprisingly easy. The sleek design fits my kitchen vibe, and it's become the star of my dinner parties. If you're into that smoky goodness without stepping outside, this bad boy is the real deal.
Great idea in theory but falls short in practice
GE indoor smoker is a great idea in theory, but falls short in practice. I received this indoor smoker just prior to the Super Bowl and was looking forward to smoking up some meats for the big game- that is until I had my first experience with chicken wings. I immediately set up the unit per the included instructions and prepared to cook. Problem 1: it takes absolutely forever to preheat. I expected a similar wait time as I have for my current outdoor electric smoker. IT IS NOT EVEN CLOSE! This thing takes in excess of 20 minutes or longer to reach temperature. Problem 2: This things is small! Don’t fall for the advertised hype- anyway you look at it, it is far too small-especially when compared to the amount of counter space this thing consumes. The output simply does not justify living with this behemoth on your counter. Be prepared to explore an appliance garage if you decide to allow this boss to move on. Problem 3: It ain’t smokeless! Just like uncle Jimmy, who claims to have kicked the habit, you will return to a kitchen absolutely reeking of smoke. In fact, both times I used my unit the smoke alarms went off- not to mention my house smelled of “ a rich blend of hardwoods” for many days after each attempt. How could so much smoke come from such a small combustion chamber? AND I assure you, I followed the instructions exactly! Problem 4: The room gets smokier than the food inside. Don’t get me wrong, the smoke flavor is there but only very subtly. Perhaps if one could space out the food better, maybe it could absorb some of the smoky flavor wafting from the sealed machine into your house. Problem 5: This thing is expensive! Even if it did the job as advertised it still costs several times more than some standard outdoor smokers. In conclusion, GE’s new indoor smoker may be good for people who like smoking their home throughly but not the small about of meat they can jam inside. Again, I love the idea especially for residents of apartments or those with restrictions on outdoor grills and smokers but for the average person who actually likes smoky food it simply does not get the job done. Perhaps skip the 1st generation in hopes the designers/ engineers make drastic improvements in the future. The real rating from me is 1.5 stars.
Thanks so much for connecting with us! When the unit is in "preheating" mode, the smoker is warming up in preparation for smoking. During the preheating phase, the smoke chamber may not begin to heat immediately, however, we still recommend putting your food in the smoker after the preheating phase is complete (about 15 minutes). If desired, you can skip the preheat. You can find information about this on page 19 of the manual - https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--c3XleoJo--/qqamm7ufiv6mpsjxvrud.pdf?_gl. Smoke is not vented out of the unit due to our active smoke filtration. If you are going to open the door during the smoking process, we recommend using the "Clear Smoke" feature. There's info on page 20 of the manual in regard to this. If your smoker is venting smoke out of the unit, please give us a call at 1-800-432-2737. Our smoker can fit 3 full racks of baby back ribs (cut in half), 1 brisket (cut in half), 1 whole chicken, 2 dozen chicken wings, or 1 pork butt. You can smoke a party's worth of amazing food in a single cooking session. A huge plus for our indoor smoker is the fact that you can smoke at any time of year! Enjoy smoked food on a rainy day or during freezing temps without missing any part of the party inside.
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.
The Best
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We loved this super smoker very easy to use, it gives your meats a unique and original flavor, without creating smoke inside the house and with all the flavor of the firewood from the patio, highly recommended for family gatherings due to its large interior space, but very comfortable for your kitchen or gathering of friends and family in the Porsche
Love it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how this smoker cooks the food. It's so simple to use. Setting it up was easy as well. When it's time for clean up the racks come out and it's pretty much just a wipe down. It can smoke a lot at one time. I use this everyday now because it's healthier since I don't have to add butter and it also tastes better then if I grilled it. My favorite part is that while it's smoking I can do other things. The timer works great and once the cooking timer is over it automatically goes into the warming option.
