GE Profile - Smart Indoor Smoker - Black

I love this product. It has been great to use since I've moved into an apartment. Great for anyone like me who longs to BBQ but can't because of your living situation. I highly recommend this item for those who love BBQ and miss being behind a grill. It's definitely a worry free experience without all the outdoor grilling worries.

No matter how well you clean the vent after a few hours of smoking the auger spits out ash all over your food. I was two days past the return window so Best Buy isn’t honoring the return despite having a paid membership with them. Also, it’s not really indoor. I had to keep it in the garage because it would make my house overwhelmingly smell like burning wood. GE customer care told me to clean take the vent apart, clean it with a wire brush while I was cooking. So, stop a brisket halfway, clean and throw the brisket back in. Seriously. For the ease of use, not that easy. If you use the temp setting, meaning you want the meat to cook at a certain temperature, the machine starts to clear smoke and turn off if you take the prong out and it registers the set temperature. For example, let’s say you set the brisket to 200. When you take the prong out to wrap the brisket, the prong registers +200 degrees because it picks up the ambient temp of the smoker. The smoker then starts clearing the smoke and going into “keep warm” mode. You will then have to restart the entire process all over again.

Awesome appliance, nice to smoke indoors during the winter. Wish it was a little bigger but if it was it probably wouldn't be a countertop appliance. Good smoke, easy clean up.

I’ve used this 3 times so far — brisket, turkey breast and ribs. All pretty good but still experimenting especially on brisket to get it right. Really an amazing product. Unsure on accuracy or probe but am testing. Great bark and nice smoke flavor.

I’ve only had a it short time, but it has done an impressive job thus far - both in terms of flavor and smoke mitigation. Time will tell with future cooks, but it has definitely added a pronounced smoke flavor on what I’ve made to date. My only question going forward would be how it holds up to long term use, as the filtration system and gaskets are vital to its successful use. I am also pleased that it doesn’t take up too much space. While I have it on a cart, it would easily fit on my counter. I gave it a 4/5 for value, as it was on an introductory sale when I purchased it.

Works like bbq. No smoke indoors. Easy on pellet usage

First cook was a spatchcocked whole chicken using the pellets that came with the smoker (sorry, no pic). While there was absolutely no smoke from the unit, the air that the unit outputs clearly smells of smoke. However, the cook was only one hour and twenty minutes, so the smoke smell was tolerable. Our second cook was a 3.5lb brisket, smoked for four hours, and then rested for 3 more hours. During the smoking of the brisket, the smell of smoke coming out of the smoker was much more pungent than it was with the chicken. It literally got to the point that our eyes and sinuses were burning while we sat in the other room watching TV. We definitely do not have a small kitchen, but our house is an open floor plan, so the smell is not just confined to one area. Im not sure how other users are not noting the smoke smell. Its not a bbq smell, its literally the smell of camp fire and burning pellets. The smoke smell dissipated from the house within 24 hours completely however. The food did come out excellent, but the significant smell of smoke, and the burning of our eyes and sinuses, are the reason for the reduction in star rating. Im not sure if the filtration on our unit is under performing/faulty, but we literally debated on returning the product, or just moving it to the basement or garage when using in the future. So while its technically “smokeless”, it still SMELLS significantly like campfire smoke. We plan on reaching out to GE for assistance. We recommendation opinion is tough…. Its an expensive device in general, but its not out of whack when looking at the price of traditional smokers. The food came out great and its wonderful to use it without any regard to the weather. The build quality is excellent and the software is great. The only downfall for us is the smell. So its a recommended buy if you can deal with that, but its a recommended not buy if you plan to put it in a main area of your home, or if you might be sensitive to the smell of camp fire. We plan to use it in the basement going forward, but wish we didnt have to.

I've never smoked meat before and i do tons of venison. Jerky, meat sticks, burger and summer sausage. I bought this to see if i would like smoking and i love it. I've smoked 18 pounds of wings already and this will be a game changer for venison.

Best pellet smoker buy I've made. This gives better flavor than any outdoor pellet smoker I've used (except for when I add an external cold smoker to those units). This is by far way easier to clean then outdoor pellet smokers also. I use jealous Devil Jax wood pellets 50/50 mixed with charcoal pellets with everything, and the flavor is close to an offset. I put up a picture of a small brisket in the unit so people can see the bark on it.
