GE Profile Smart Indoor Smoker

Fantastic Requires converter from 120 to 220

EXCELLENT ... EXCELLENT ... EXCELLENT ... cooks perfectly / smokes incredibly well ... especially for indoor use ... was SUPER hesitant to try this inside our small apartment - but - it's not that bad. There & will be "some" residual smoke smell in any normal indoor space - "if" we had a separate area with a fan - like in a normal house - you could use it in a attached garage - or - laundry room etc ... or use it in a covered outdoor patio & you don't want/need a full size smoker then this little guy is your Perfect answer. Not huge inside the cooking space - so - you need to plan accordingly & I was also hesitant about not getting the same cooking results between the three layers - but - this little guy's internal heat circulation & smoke circulation was really well engineered & I've yet to find a fail between the three cooking levels. It's cook & smoke just as well with one tray as it will with all three loaded down. In my first go - I cooked & smoked 10lbs of Brisket divided between the three layers & didn't fuse by shuffling the various tray's during the cooking cycle. 8 hours came & went & the Brisket turned out perfectly. Tasted like it was cooked in a professional grade smoker & being served out @ a $100 a plate - our guests loved ... loved ... LOVED it. Next I did a whole chicken - same deal - cooked perfectly. Chicken breasts next - came out perfectly. The soft app which you can get download & installed on my iPhone 16 without issues - there have been various posts about the app having issues with iPhone 12's & lower versions of iOS - my 16 originally was iOS 18.x - installed without issue & then when I upgraded to iOS26 - the app upgraded without issue. Some folks complain it's a pay app - it's NOT - you can Choose to buy a subscription - which gives you access to generic smoke recipes - the same recipes you can find on the web for free - so - ya - the Subscription is NOT worth it ... the App works just fine for the basics of monitoring your cooking - the smoking process etc ... in the 4 months we've had this little counter smoker - it's NOT that little when it's sitting on the counter - about the size of a half sized mini fridge - but weighs more ... I use the term "little" when comparing it to other patio sized smokes - or - "other" outdoor sized smokers. The BIGGEST advantage this little smoker has over other products on the market ? - it TRULY is an indoor smoker :) ... & it works VERY well ...

You're buying an indoor smoker? This is the only one you can get on amazon right now, and it is priced accordingly. I see a few of these reviews saying the included recipes are not great or overcooked their food and don't mention the marvel of smoking indoors. If you've never smoked or cooked anything before you might find those same results. Do some research and make adjustments to the recipes as needed. Lower and slower is a safe bet almost always. The hot air expelled by the smoker smells like you're smoking meat, it smells like smoke and meat. If this is a problem for you it is because you don't like smoked food, what are you even doing sitting there reading this? There is no visible smoke coming out unless you open the door without clearing the smoke, which can sometimes be janky when clearing smoke near the end of the cook cycle (takes 10 WHOLE minutes) if the cycle ends before the smoke clears you have no way of knowing if the smoke is actually cleared or not, but I think it's fine because my alarms never went off. Cleaning took a bit of elbow grease to get it like new, foil in the bottom tray helps, but it's not absolutely necessary to get every rack like new after each use, dishwasher works wonders on those, I like cleaning the glass every time to be able to see in with some degree of certainty, use a flashlight because if the top rack is full it is hard to see into the bottom, but your phone light works fine too so it's a weird complaint. Yes it uses a lot of power, it's an electric oven, the pellets are for smoke only, not heat. I had it on the same circuit as a small chest freezer in my apartment and when the freezer kicked in it tripped my GFCI, run it on a mostly empty circuit for long smokes to be sure it doesn't get tripped. I won a 500 dollar gift card from my employer and it went on sale the same week as if it was meant to be, I've done several batches of wings with the included recipe thar were flawless for the flavor, cook time, and cook temp (minus like 5 degrees but still damn close to perfect there). Ribs recipe was overcooked but still edible, but the second batch of racks I did lower and slower turned out perfect. Going to be doing a bigger roast this weekend using a recipe straight from the internet recommended from a colleague that I'm sure will be great, will update if not. This is an amazing tool for anyone looking to get into meat smoking from an apartment. Even considering there are zero alternatives for this product they made something special here and I would be shocked if China could make something better for less. Maybe if the market stays strong other companies will compete for the space, that would help everyone with that kind of competition and I think this unit will fare pretty well until major improvements of design or major cost savings for same quality happen. If you want to smoke indoors the price is only based on what you are comfortable spending, if you can or already do smoke outdoors you should keep clutching your pearls and act like your above such a product. I will be buying a house this year and will continue to use this product until I need to cook for more than just me and the wife because it is only really able to cook for two people (maybe 4 if you eat as little as she does). Looking forward to smoking some veggies after the roast!

Wouldn't use it in my kitchen, but inside the garage works well. While it doesn't leak smoke, it does have a rather strong odor which is probably from it treating the smoke. It's exactly the size I was looking for that will handle meat capacity for 2 - 8 people. Easy to clean. Good phone app control of the temperature / probe temperature, remaining time, etc. Decent value for the money. Amount of smoke inside the chamber and smoke flavor absorbed by the food is acceptable. Capacity is good for a few people, but would need larger if you're cooking for a larger get-together.

Completely revised review. My first one failed after 3 uses. No smoke whatsoever. GE replaced it with a new one. This one has failed after approximately 8 uses. It smokes a little bit intermittently. I don't need stress every time I cook. Each time I hold my breath to see if it is going to work properly. It is just too complicated. Items that GE needs to address. The dark glass to make it look cool. Great but you cannot see inside if there is any ambient light. The entire control panel needs to be backlit. The pellet operation is absurd. You never know what it is going to do. The interior light needs to be easily removable for cleaning. The whole appliance is just too small inside. I will see if GE will give me a refund. If not, it's going into the trash. I have thrown $1000 dollars into the trash before so we'll see. I would not recommend this to anyone. Now.... If you want a really nice alternative, consider the Ninja woodfire Pro Connect XL. Yes it is outside only. The GE stinks up the whole house when you open the door, so it needs to be outside anyway. The Ninja is so much more efficient and user friendly, with so many more modes. Including cold smoke. The YouTube videos will tell the story. Last but not least, the Ninja is less than 1/2 the price with a lot more accessories.
