Customer reviews for GE Profile™ Smart Indoor Pellet Smoker with Active Smoke Filtration and 5 Smoke Control Settings forIndoor 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!
Impressive
This is an impressive appliance that makes decent smoked foods accessible in the kitchen. It's not an offset smoker, but it does the job. It will be interesting to see how it holds up over the coming months and years (obviously it is technically more complex than the typical outdoor smoker, with both electronic controls and an air scrubber to remove smoke). There's a good user group about it on Reddit r/IndoorBBQSmoking at https://www.reddit.com/r/IndoorBBQSmoking/.
This is an awesome smoker.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently received and used the new GE Profile Smart Indoor Smoker, I was very skeptical on how this was going to work because I’ve used an outdoor electric smoker and an outdoor regular smoker and it was hard for me to imagine being able to smoke indoors without any smoke But I was very impressed with the GE Indoor smoker. It was easy to set up, it was easy to use, I smoked chicken wings and a pork roast and both turned out delicious and full of flavor. And it really is smokeless I used it indoors And didn’t have any issues with smoke. This is an awesome smoker and a great option for indoors whether you want to use it in your garage or in your home
great appliance but instruction manual not concise
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although the instruction manual was a bit frustrating, the appliance works great. The order of setup and the instructions for initial use were not really organized well. I found myself going back and forth between pages to be sure I was doing the initial setup steps in the right order. The first thing I wanted to try was smoked chicken wings. Finding the setting for chicken wings was really easy. Just turn the dial and push the dial then press start. Super easy. The cook time was a bit longer than I thought it would be but once you set it and go find something to do it really goes by quick. While smoking, I was amazed that the house didn't smell like something was smoking. How does it do that?! The ventilation system is really good. And the flavor of those wings were so good. Although there are other recipes in the recipe book that came with the smoker that I will one day try, I will likely just use it to smoke my chicken wings bc that flavor was amazing. Cleanup was easy. The waste bin is located conveniently in the front. So is the pellet bin. Disposing the used wood pellets was easy and mess-free. Reloading the pellets was simple and clean. The door is secure and opens smoothly and quietly. It operates quietly, as well. This is a high quality device. Also, connecting to the internet was also a breeze. There's an app that gets you easily connected to wifi. I don't really need the remote access to it because of the amount of time it takes to smoke food but its's a really cool app and I love having the latest technology. Overall, this appliance is fantastic. It also very nice looking. It add so much sophistication to my counertop.
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.
Awesome!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used this smoker a few times now to make Baby Back ribs and Smoked Mac and Cheese. Very impressed with this indoor smoker. Who knew this was even possible to smoke indoors without smoking out your house? It took a bit to read through the instructions to make sure I understood how to use the machine properly, filling the hopper with pellets and then priming it so they feed in the first time, etc. but overall, very easy process. I also spend time getting the app installed and an account created. The app is also very easy to use and can control from your phone or machine itself. Very handy to be able to check on things from my phone without having to get up and check directly. I also have an outdoor electric smoker but since I live in the north, we get very cold winters and don’t like the idea of smoking anything in the middle of winter. This is an awesome option to smoke indoors during the winter! I don’t fully understand the filtration system for the smoke, but we have zero smoke inside the house while using it, other than the wonderful smells of the food cooking itself. There are also no filters to clean for the filtration system which I love. It just filters out the smoke and works! All our food had a wonderful smoky flavor also! Extremely impressive! You can also set a smoke level during cooking if you want more or less smoke. If you need to open it while cooking, they also have a button to push to clear out all the smoke first and then you can open it up, so you don’t release the smoke into your house, what a great idea! They also have pre-programmed for typical things you would smoke with preset settings which I think is also awesome so I don’t have to remember how long it should take, temp, etc. etc. – just set and forgot for the most part. It doesn’t have the most amount of room to work with compared to an outdoor smoker but the fact that I can smoke in the middle of winter is great. Don’t get me wrong still has plenty of room to cook enough food for a family of 4 – 8. I was able to fit 3 racks of ribs but that was pushing the limit and had to sort of stank them in. It was also very easy to clean up afterwords, most everything went into the dishwasher. Overall, I highly recommend this if you like smoking meat and want the ability to do so indoors. Again, I don’t know how the filtration system works exactly but they have nailed the technology!
Fantastic addition to any chef’s kitchen
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband isn’t usually impressed by culinary appliances, since he was blessed with the gift of awesome cooking skills. The Indoor Smart Smoker from GE Profile managed to make an impression though, because it’s now a new favorite hobby. We grill and BBQ often, and have a large outdoor smoker and grill that we must brave some currently nasty weather in order to use. If it’s summertime, it’s just as bad except mosquitoes are attacking you instead of frostbite. Terrible weather is no longer an excuse now, and we wholeheartedly recommend this small-space friendly indoor smart smoker to transform almost any kind of food into a mouthwatering sensation. The best part is that while this appliance stands up to even the most seasoned chef, a novice who can’t cook (me, in this situation) can also whip up some delicious food with this invention’s help.
Good idea but.....
Smoke ring is a bit lacking, smoke flavor was not what I expected, cleaning the machine is the reason for the 3 star rating - it is not an easy machine to use for that reason alone and cost was substantial. Cooking features, temperature, electronic monitoring all are nice and useful.
We are happy that you are enjoying the cooking features and temperature of this smoker. This unit does require routine cleaning for the best smoking results. For proper cleaning, remove all accessories and racks from the smoke chamber. To clean the bottom of the smoke chamber, rotate the heater guard and heating element upwards to access the bottom surface. Wipe all interior surfaces of the smoker with a sponge or soft cloth and a solution of mild soap and water or vinegar and water. We have also provided some additional cleaning tips for this smoker on page 27 of the Owner's Manual here: https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--9PNCO_tT--/7d85190576ec6e5688152e58a7a2d377aec3d7ce.pdf
Easy to Use!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To start with, it is on the bulky side. If you don't have much counter space, this may not be for you. The inside for cooking is not as large as you would think compared to the size of the smoker itself. As for the smoker itself, the controls are very easy to use. Do read the manual first so you can be understand everything. The auger for the pellets has to be primed before you start and the holding pin for the pellets is not large, so if it's something you'll have to cook for a long period of time make sure you keep an eye on pellets. It does not use a lot in the end though. You have to put water in the waste bin for it to work and it works very well. No smoke whatsoever in the house at all. The probe is easy to use and easy to set up and works great. My first cook was a sirloin tip roast and with the temperature set at 225 on a 3 lb roast, it could faster than anticipated, but thankfully still turned out perfectly. It has a drip pan and three levels of racks that can come out for larger items. It was VERY easy to clean when it was all done. It is still kind of bulky on our counter, but it will be nice to have indoor smoker options for if the weather is cold..
Smoky
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a real lover of smoked food, I am super impressed by an indoor smoker. First of all the concept just blows my mind. Secondly it works better then a traditional smoker and is so much easier to use. I have already made a brisket and chicken wings. Both have been super tasty and I got more compliments on these 2 then anything I ever made before. I would definitely recommend this!
