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.

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!

A true barbeque lover's dream!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! If I had to narrow my thoughts on the GE Profile Smart Indoor Smoker to one word, that would definitely be it. I've been using this indoor smoker every weekend for the past 3 weeks and so far I have cooked 3 different types of meat with it. One thing for sure is that it has never failed to impress me each and every time. The results are actually pretty mind blowing to be completely honest. From fall off the bone pork ribs, to moist and juicy tri tip, to soft and tender whole chicken smoked to absolute perfection, the GE Profile Indoor Smoker does it all flawlessly. Once I tasted exactly just how good it smokes these meats, it's not easy going back to the old backyard barbeque grill or any other method for that matter. Everything cooked with this indoor smoker just tastes so much better! Not only does it bring out the true flavor of the meat, but it also adds that additional smoky flavor that everyone wants, due to the burning of the wood pellets. The great thing about this is how well the meats are smoked can actually be adjusted using a simple turn of the knob. From lightly smoked to heavily smoked, the GE Profile Smart Indoor Smoker has you covered. It's actually considerably easier to use than traditional outdoor smokers and grills as well. No more hassle of lighting and dealing with used up charcoal. No more spending big bucks on expensive wood chunks or dealing with cutting your own. No more lugging back and forth heavy tanks of propane to fill or exchange. Best of all, no more having to even go outside! Rain or shine, night or day, now we can smoke meats like a true pit master from the convenience of our own kitchens! Just put the meat into this indoor smoker, select the correct preset settings, or manually set your own, and it does the rest of the hard work for you. The results are nothing short of amazing! From the look to the taste, even the pros would agree. Life is so much easier and family meals are so much better. It uses substantially less wood pellets than my outdoor smoker does and it does everything a true smoker is supposed to do, except emitting smoke into the environment. This is definitely one of the best inventions of recent years and every family deserves one! I got mines, now get yours! Highly recommended!

Great for apartment people

In beginner mode and have used this product almost everyday since purchasing. This product is insanely easy to use, and is as advertised about no smoke. At absolute worst, you may smell a hint of a fireplace smell when in use. It is small, but I live in an apartment which doesn’t allow grills so this is perfect! I highly recommend to anyone just getting started and has no option for an outdoor smoker. Very happy all around!

Impressed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m honestly shocked with this indoor smoker! I just adore food that is smoked and grilled and finally the same taste food I can do inside my apartments kitchen. The taste is delicious, juicy, hot and crunchy. The smoker has different smoke levels to give different flavours. My favorite so far is smoked salmon and meat. It’s prefect! One of the features that I really like is that it can keep the food warm. The filtration works just fine and so far I didn’t have any issues at all. The cleaning process is easier than actual outdoor grill and I just can put some parts in dishwasher for better results. Overall, it is well thought and well made appliance that will spice up dinner routine.

Amazing how this thing cooks!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This smoker has been the best addition to my kitchen area. It is my first indoor grilling tool and I can honestly say that | was skeptical of it at first, but immediately fell in love with it on the very first try of using it! The filtration system truly works and ensures that you do not have any smoke or ashiness inside your home during use. You can smell it as it cooks like you would if you were cooking on the stove, but no smoke irritation occurs. Set up was a breeze with how sleek and compact designed this is. You are able to set up and get going within five minutes of opening the box. Pop the racks in and remove the packaging materials and go! GE Profile truly designed a sleek and modern look with this smoker. It is smooth to the touch and does not have any bulky edges. It has a modern digital touch to use the controls via smoker or you can use the app to fully control and customize your cooking experience. This is a rapid way for me to smoke my ribs now as it cooks faster than a normal smoker while leaving them tender and juicy by using the temperature probe in the app to monitor how fast it is cooking. I have not burnt a single thing since setting up the app and using it while cooking. I have enjoyed cooking with pellets as I can easily flavor my food by using them in the smoker and they make clean up a breeze! I found that it was easy to clean with a simple swipe of a damp cloth on the interior and then a scrub of the drip pan and we are done! I will deep clean my grates once a month to ensure they are shiny and clean, but any food debris completely wipes off using a rag. I am highly impressed with this smoker and would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves to grill or smoke meats! 10/10 stars on this one from my family!

Game changer

Living in an apartment that doesn't allow grills or smokers is a tough life. When I first came across this crazy "indoor" smoker I thought, no way. I put it in my cart immediately and then did my research. Post after post saying how awesome this product is really sold me on it. So far I've smoked 2 chickens, brisket and just finished some maple bourbon pork belly. All came out amazing. This the best purchase I've made since my suviede. I'm still tweaking my rubs, brines and cures on my favorite new hobby. Thanks for creating this amazing machine

Indoor smoker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a new and exciting product. I didn't have any issues with setting it up. Instructions were easy to follow and it was easy to use. I would definitely recommend this product to friends and family to try for themselves and share their experiences with others. Great product!

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 ā€œ a rich blend of hardwoodsā€ 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.

Great design but it doesn't work

I will comment that I liked this product. The first time I used it, it worked like a smoker. Unfortunately, the second time, the appliance got stuck in preheating and never finished, so I couldn’t smoke my brisket and had to return it. Sadly, it was too good to be true that we could smoke our food indoors the house.

We're sorry to hear about your smoker not operating properly. We'd like to help out with this. We recommend trying out an electronic reset, which can be done by removing the power cord for 2-3 minutes, the plugging it back in. You can also try a full clean of the unit.
