Typical smokers live outside. They’re huge, extremely hot, and often emit tons of fumes that would, at best, smell up your house and, at worst, kill you with their emissions. The GE Profile Smart Indoor Smoker with Active Smoke Filtration allows cooks to impart genuine smoke flavor into meats, vegetables, desserts, drink accouterments, etc., right there in the kitchen.

This review-in-progress charts my initial experience and testing and will be expanded as I continue cooking.
