Infuse authentic smokehouse flavor quickly and easily into meats, poultry, fish, seafood, and vegetables. The smoker also doubles as a slow cooker with a removable nonstick slow-cooking pot included. Soft-touch controls on the digital touchpad let you select cold smoke, hot smoke, or a combination of both, as well as modes for slow cooking and keep warm for ultimate versatility. Simply place a small amount of your favorite smoker wood chips in the charring cup. Use readily available wood chips including hickory, apple, pecan, oak, maple, bourbon, and mesquite.

A three-tiered rack with handles provides extra capacity and easy placement and removal of food. Digital timer counts down the remaining smoking/cooking time. Alarm signals when cooking time is up and smoker/slow cooker automatically switches to keep warm. Tempered glass cover with gasket seals the smoker to minimize odor, allowing it to be used indoors.

What are the Health Benefits of a Slow Cooker?

Furthermore, the benefits of slow cooking go beyond increasing nutrient bioavailability in plant foods. Cooking meat in a liquid at low heat reduces the number of cell-damaging compounds known as AGEs (advanced glycation end products) produced in the meat by half when compared to broiling or grilling. Because AGEs found in charred and grilled meats have been linked to inflammation, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer, slow cooking is arguably one of the safest ways to cook meats.

Great smoker but hard to get cup for wood chips clean. A little tight for 2 racks of ribs but I made it work. But smoke settings and flavor was fantastic. Much easier to clean than a larger smoker.

Works great. I have a large smoker for big jobs, but love this for the small jobs. It's easy cleanup, and easy to use. Smoking on a big one outside is a big effort, this is the ot ticket when you aren't feeding a crowd. Love it.

Works great as a smoker. Yes it does leak a small amount of smoke until it gets hot then the seal becomes tight with minimal smoke escape. The house does smell like BBQ for a day, but it smells good. It does not work as a slow cooker. Tried it twice and failed to fully cook beef and pork to the fall apart consistency. A regular crock pot or dutch oven works much better.

Works very well. I used it indoors and I only smelled the smoke scent which I enjoyed.

It does the job. Decent capacity for a small family. As stated within the manual there is some BUT unless you want your home smelling like a barbecue pit use it outside. A lot of smoke leaks from the lid. I covered the lid with foil to try to hold it in and it helped maybe 15%. The lid no matter what kind of adjusting the rubber seal just isn’t airtight. The clean up is a bit tricky. I made chicken and with juice from the chicken and condesation it created 1/2 of liquid at the bottom around the heating element where the wood chips go. I worked around it to empty the liquids without coming in contact with that part. I lot if trouble nevertheless.

I like the results. It smokes meat good but I only used it once indoors because my house smelled too much like smoke afterwards. After that I only used it on the patio.
