WESTON BRANDS 2-in-1 Indoor Electric Smoker & Programmable Slow Cooker, 6 Quart, With 3-Tier Smoking Rack for Meat, Cheese and More, Dishwasher Safe Crock, Temperature Probe, Black (03-2500-W)

Awesome! I bought a second one for smoking mammal meat for the hubby! It smokes just a bit at the beginning and then no smoke escaping. I cannot say enough good things about this smoker! It was a bit hard to understand how to start it at first, but duh, I should have turned the page...lol. I love that you don't have to change the pot and cook it in something else to finish. It will also keep it warm and let the juices settle in the meat. The size is great for a 6 pound chicken or a roast. I find it easy to clean and storing does not take up much room either. The seal on the lid shows a great quality in building it. I think it is a must have and I am looking forward to using it many times.

Love this smoker. Wanted something smaller, not a huge smoker. Lightweight and easy to clean. Spray cover with cooking spray for easy clean up. Will smoke a whole rack of baby back ribs. Great smoke flavor. You can use it indoors, but it emits more smoke than we'd like, so I set it on a table on the back patio. Will definitely use this a lot. Great price too...

I bought this as a smoker for sausage-making, so I'll leave the slow-cooker part to other reviewers. The smoker coil works very fast to fill the chamber, and the triple-stacked racks provide plenty of surface for your food. I did a hot applewood smoke for some fresh-ground bratwurst links, and they turned out perfect. You may have to make some adjustments to your timings because the maximum temperature is 200F. The probe was a little tricky to arrange through the hole and into one of the links, but once I got it placed the reading was fine. It didn't vent a huge amount of smoke into the air during operation but there was definitely seepage around the lid. It made the kitchen smell great, and it wasn't enough to be overpowering (or set off the nearby smoke alarm). Cleanup afterward? That got 1 star because 0 isn't an option. Well let's just say it's not easy. First, the power cable isn't detachable so it's in the way while you clean and the chamber has integrated electronics so it can't be immersed; the best you can do is surface clean it. Then there's the sticky mess of drippings to mop up from the bottom, which can also get into the wood-holder. The racks need a pretty good scrubbing afterward to remove both food and smoke residue. The interior of the chamber is fairly non-stick but the wood holder is not. It's filled with basically charcoal when done, and the best I could manage was to wipe up the drippings, then remove the wood holder parts and just shake the chamber out over the trash. Then, more wiping it out. The lid got clean enough, but the rubber seal was sticky and difficult to clean from greasy smoke. Overall I'm pleased with it after one use. The cleanup hassle might lead me to using it less often than I would otherwise, but this device will definitely be a part of my sausage-making going forward.

So I haven't written a review in a while, but this product was something I was on the fence about and I was so pleased with it I figured it was worth a review. A couple thoughts: -Is this as good as a 500$ indoor smoker? I honestly have no idea, i wouldn't spend 500$ on an indoor or outdoor smoker which is why i got this one. But is this an awesome 120$ smoker? absolutely yes -Use this under or over your stove hood and turn on the hood fan! otherwise you will low key smoke your whole house, if you really like hickory smell, sure that's great, otherwise the seals on this work fairly well, but smoke does escape but if you put this around a hood fan you'll be fine. -Minor complaint, the temp and timing functions are very basic, with a probe you cook to a temp, without a probe you cook to a time, its a bit confusing and the panel isn't intuitive, but once you kinda figure it out, you'll be ok. -It smokes really well! We've done salmon, cheese, poultry, and pork, all of its smokes great. we get the pellet sampler packs and have had great success -Its not super easy to clean since the heater element is just in the bottom. so make sure you put some foil in the bottom to catch drippings. -Again the seal on the lid isn't perfect, this isn't a fancy smoker that has some sort of air circulation system, the smoke will escape so see point 2 again. Overall really happy with this purchase. Was on the fence about it, but if you are also on the fence this is a really budget friendly way to get into smoking without going outside.

Does a really good job at smoking and works like a typical crockpot. Only down side is clean up after smoking.

I tried smoking turkey legs. The thing is, the wood chips need to be changed out during the smoking process because otherwise it tastes like the inside of a campfire, but to get to the wood chips is incredibly difficult, and I would say impossible until after when the food is already destroyed. The burned smoke is also caked onto every part of this thing and impossible to clean. I would definitely not use it as a slow cooker once you've smoked something in it. Everything will taste like a campfire. Sadly, this was a waste of money. I really wanted to like this. Also, your house will smell like smoke for a long time, even if you pit this by an open window.

My first impression is that it definitely works. As others have described, the controls are pretty complicated. It really could benefit from some additional buttons or a better UI. Other than that, I added an elastic strap to hold down the lid a bit better. I live in a 6 unit apartment and my stove vent inexplicably vents into a back stairwell where smoke alarms are located. I'm constantly setting them off when I'm searing roasts or frying stuff. My neighbors "love" me! LOL Without a little weight or a strap on the lid, the smoke does escape and I really want to be able to use it in my kitchen. My first test was to smoke fresh ground turkey patties on hot. They came out a bit too smokey but that's probably more related to the quantity/type of wood chips and needing to play with the settings. Overall, I'm very happy with it and am looking forward to using it often in my Chicago apartment year round. UPDATE after 3rd use: No regrets because I mostly needed a slow cooker but the smoking will definitely take practice and an understanding of the capabilities and limitations. Does it smoke stuff? Yes. Will it behave like a pellet grill/smoker? Absolutely not. You're going to need to accept these limitations and adjust accordingly. Use it to add a great smoke flavor to meats but you'll need to incorporate a cast iron grill pan or a broiler to get your meats to not have a steamed/boiled texture.

I really like this smoker. First off , I live in a small one bedroom apartment on a higher floor. I made these pork butt hams in the kitchen. Just four feet away from the smoke detector. With ZERO problems. The day I ordered it from Amazon, I put the pork butt pieces in a brine in the refrigerator. When the package got here it was checked for damage and cleaned for the next days use. Earlier in the day I had removed the pork from the brine. Washed it and put on the netting. I put the pork out to glaze and reach room temperature. I read through and followed the simple easy instructions and was up and running in ten minutes. First I covered the bottom with foil and filled the chip pan with Kiawe or (mesquite) I put the cured pork in and attached the probe. Closed the lid, set the temperature and turned it on. Took just an hour and the smoke smell in the house was nice. Not overpowering. The ham came out perfect. Not dry and lightly smoked. And best of all it was delicious, first time. I would definitely recommend this unit to anyone that likes smoke cookery. Especially in your apartment, in the city.
