GE’s Profile smart indoor smoker can help pitmasters stave off the winter cooking blues, and it’s $424.15 ($275 off) at Amazon during Cyber Monday. The countertop appliance uses filtration and gaskets to prevent smoke from escaping (and possibly setting off your fire alarm), while still emitting the welcome smell of what you’re smoking, be it meat, vegetables, or both.
To be clear, this gadget doesn’t cook your food with smoke like the charcoal or pellet smoker you might have outside. It’s an oven that uses a heating element to do the cooking, while relying on burning wood pellets to infuse your food with a smoky flavor. A benefit to this approach is that it takes a lot less time to cook your smoked meal compared to using a traditional smoker.
This hefty countertop appliance has enough space to cook three racks of baby back ribs, a brisket, a whole chicken, up to 40 wings, or a 14-pound pork butt. We tested it with a whole chicken, two racks of ribs, and a halved brisket and didn’t run into issues with cooking. It may not replace your full-sized outdoor smoker, but this gadget can help you easily keep up your intake of delicious smoked foods year-round.
