Top 10 Indoor Smokers to Heat Up Your Home-Cooking Game

Masterbuilt’s 40-inch digital electric smoker features bluetooth technology so you can monitor and control your smoker temperature from your smart device or digital control panel. It has a side wood chip loading system so you can add chips without opening the smoker door. 

For a truly signature experience, we love this traditional Japanese donabe smoker. While the base holds wood chips, the included metal grate is where your meat can rest - the whole thing right on your own stovetop or hot plate. Dishwasher and microwave safe, this is by far the best beginner's pick for folks with limited space. 

Char-Broil’s electric smoker has 544 square inches of cooking area across three chrome-plated grates. Double-wall insulated construction helps retain the heat and smoke. And this option has dual exhaust ports, which allow consistent smoke production and better air flow. There’s a door-mounted temperature gauge, and a front-access water tray, grease cup, and wood chip tray.

If you're truly at a loss for where to start your smoking journey, this kit from Camerons is here to help. Included is a sample pack of oak wood chips as well as a recipe book for inspiration! Set this on top of any heat source you choose - indoor or outdoor. 

Dyna-Glo’s 40-inch electric smoker has four chrome-plated steel cooking grates which combine to provide 732-square-inches of cooking space. Use the digital thermostat and control panel display to set and monitor cooking times and temps. An integrated thermometer allows you to track food’s internal temperature without interrupting cooking. A removable rack and sausage hooks provide added versatility. A bottom-access drawer lets you get to your water or wood chips without letting smoke or heat escape, as does a flexible, high-temperature door seal. A 1,000-watt burner generates major cooking power in cold conditions.

A phenomenal stovetop smoker option, this pick from Demeyere is over safe as well as stove safe. And at 13 inches wide, it's perfect for home cooks looking for a smoker that will help them feed an army.
