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)

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.

This smoker is just awesome! Easy to use and great instruction book with cooking recommendations. Perfect smaller meals for my family of 4. Held a 5 lb pork butt and smoked it perfectly! Can be used a couple of other ways to cook also.

This creation is absolutely brilliant—transforming a crockpot into a smoker is pure genius. Over the years, I've seen my boyfriend smoke various foods, constantly tweaking the temperature, adding and soaking the chips, and managing all that smoke. After we broke up, the idea of never having smoked mac and cheese again was worse than not seeing him (LMAO). I did thorough research and found this to be the best solution.A few tips:- Don’t use a sugar-based rub.- Do not overfill the chip cup—more is not always better.- If stacking all 3 racks, cover the chip cup with a folded piece of foil to prevent the meat or food above from burning.- Get yourself a pair of Ove Gloves.- ALWAYS use the rack with handles on the very bottom, so you can lift everything out.- Do not use harsh abrasives to clean. Soak chip cup components in hot water and soap for about an hour.- Spray some oil on a paper towel and rub it on the racks when cooking meat. DO NOT spray into the pot itself.- When cooking is complete (for meat), tip the pot so all grease goes to one side and soak it up with paper towels.- Use a fork or something similar to remove chips.- DO NOT get oil/grease on the coil (a little is okay). If you do, wipe clean.- Remember, this is a smoker; it will never be “clean.” Treat it like an iron skillet.- NEVER turn it upside down to empty, as this will create ashes all over the place.- If only smoking something that requires one rack, never use the bottom. Place 2 racks in the pot and use the top. You really don’t want to smoke close to the coil if you don’t have to.Pluses:- Has 3 racks, so you can easily smoke a rack and a half of baby back ribs or 1 rack of larger ribs.- Smoke is contained.- No worrying about maintaining temps.- Has a meat probe for dense meats like pork butt. Don’t need it for ribs.- No need to add chips during the smoking process.- Carefree, amazing indoor smoker—set it and forget it.I promise you, you will not be disappointed. If you are, the beer's on me.

Smoker feature works best outside. It will make your home smell of smoke. Cooks and smokes quite well though!

It is wonderful if you like smoked meat. This little smoker is great it keep your meat moist at least I think so. It can cook most meats if they are on the small side. I like that it offers cold hot or combo smoke. I put it on the stove and turn on the exhaust fan on some smoke does leak out

I bought this for the smoker setting. I was able to use it a total of four times and achieved some outstanding smoked trout using the combo smoke setting. It was efficient, easy to use, and not too bad to clean. Best of all I could use it indoors under the stove vent. I honestly thought I might have found an alternative to my Big Chief smoker for smaller batches of fish.A little ways into my fourth batch of trout, I noticed that the smoker had cut off. I tried turning it back on but had no luck. I then noticed that some nearby appliances were not working. It then dawned on me that the circuit breaker must have flipped. I ended up moving the smoker to another outlet where there was nothing plugged in on the breaker. It came on briefly and I set it up to smoke and walked away again. Came back a few minutes later to find it off and another breaker flipped. I moved my trout to the oven at that point.As much as I liked this thing, I am afraid it might be a hazard. I am scared to use it further and will luckily be able to return it as I am still in the return window. I hope that I just got a lemon and that other ones work great out there. However, I would strongly advise folks to be careful with this.

I owned one of these until the non stick coating in the smoking area started coming off during cleaning, within a year. I wound up throwing it in the garbage, I was that fed up. Not only that, the guide that came with it, never mentioned the use of aluminum foil in the smoking area to make clean up easier, one has to find that information on the internet.Can't knock it for the smoking it did, as it was great for what I used it for, which was for smoking ribs and making pulled pork.I would not recommend one of these.
