My husband is in love with this thing, he spends more time with it than with me. So this is the best purchase I have ever made, since I am able to read my books in peace without the husband constantly bugging me!

I have smoked pulled pork, smoked wings and a whole chicken and all turned out excellent. Not needing to go outside to maintain a smoker is great.

When I had the opportunity to test the GE Profile Indoor Smoker I was thrilled because I just purchased a condominium that prohibits gas and charcoal-based grills/smokers. The timing couldn’t have been better!
Over the course of the past couple weeks I’ve cooked multiple items in the smoker, which I’ll explain shortly. First, I’ll describe the smoker unboxing and setup experience.
This device is fitting of its higher end Profile brand because it looks great, is substantially constructed (I’d estimate it weighs somewhere around 50 pounds), and has a well-organized and easy to read control panel. Setup was simple, beginning with unpacking the 3 oven racks, the food temperature probe, and other components. Also, the box included a starter package of smoker pellets and a cook booklet. I was impressed with the smoker pellet input tray and used pellet bin (which you partly fill with water to extinguish them). Once I finished these steps I added the smoker to my Wi-Fi network by selecting the SSID and entering the password via the control panel. Then I downloaded and installed the SmartHQ iPhone app which immediately recognized the smoker, enabling me to change settings and monitor cooking progress. I’d say that the GE team did a great job with this as I experienced zero issues during the configuration.
The first item I cooked wasn’t from the included cook booklet. Instead, I smoked beef flank steak and used the smoker’s temperature probe to cook the meat to a low rare temperature of 120 degrees with the smoker oven set to 275 degrees. I anticipated this would require a couple hours and was surprised when it finished in a little less than 1 hour. After removing the flank steak from the smoker I seared it on the stove in a skillet with butter. The outcome was better than I expected because compared to my normal flank steak oven cooking method, this approach resulted in a distinct smokey flavor I don’t typically get… it was a big success.
Next I cooked chicken wings using the included cook booklet, choosing the specific smoker configuration for wings. This too turned out great and once again the smokey flavor resulted in a great taste. The chicken skin was somewhat crispy but of course not as much as it would be with deep frying, but that’s a tradeoff with achieving the smokey flavor.
Finally, for New Year’s Day I cooked pork ribs. I was pleased that I could fit 3 rib racks (after splitting them apart). As with the chicken wings, I used the smoker’s preconfigured setting for ribs, turning them after 3 hours and finishing them for another 2 hours. The ribs were great tasting with the expected smokey flavor, but if I had the choice of this method versus traditional charcoal smoker I’d probably choose the latter.
For cases where one can’t use a charcoal smoker (like me for my new condo), or for someone who simply doesn’t want to use a charcoal smoker, or when weather isn’t conducive to outdoor cooking, then this smoker is the perfect answer. Everyone who tasted these 3 recipes agreed with me that the results were outstanding.

The GE Profile Smart Indoor Smoker is a great option for those who want to enjoy the delicious flavor of smoked food without the hassle of using an outdoor smoker. It's also a good choice for those who live in apartments or condos, or who don't have a lot of space for a traditional smoker.
Pros:
• Active Smoke Filtration: This innovative feature converts smoke into warm air, so you can smoke food indoors without setting off your smoke detector.
• Five Adjustable Smoke Settings: Choose from a light smoke to a strong smoke flavor to customize your food to your liking.
• Six Preset Food Settings: Take the guesswork out of smoking with presets for brisket, pork ribs, pork butt, chicken wings, chicken breast, and salmon.
• Built-In Temperature Probe: Monitor the internal temperature of your food for perfectly cooked results.
• Wi-Fi Connected: Control the smoker from your smartphone or tablet using the GE Appliances app.
• Easy to Clean: The removable drip pan and interior walls make cleanup a breeze.
• GE Appliances offers a variety of recipes for the smoker on their website.
Cons:
• Expensive: The GE Profile Smart Indoor Smoker is priced more than many traditional outdoor smokers.
• Large: The smoker is 16.5 inches wide, 20.5 inches deep, and 16 inches tall, so it may not fit on all countertops.
• Not as versatile as a traditional smoker: You can't smoke large items like turkeys or hams in the GE Profile Smart Indoor Smoker.
• Even though this is a smokeless cooker, the warm air that comes out has a smoke smell and can be hard to dissipate.
Overall, the GE Profile Smart Indoor Smoker is a great option for those who want to enjoy the convenience of indoor smoking. It's well-made, has a lot of great features, and produces delicious results. However, it is expensive and not as versatile as a traditional smoker.
