Expert Reviews


What experts liked

Nordic Ware's Stovetop Kettle Smoker is one of the better indoor smokers available. Most indoor smokers have no lid or a shallow low profile lid. The Stovetop Kettle Smoker has a high domed lid big enough for smoking/roasting a whole chicken.
Made in the U.S.A.It also is oven safe. Includes a thermometer. High dome lid allows for maximum capacity. It’s under ten pounds (which is nice for traveling).
Can be used indoors or outdoors. Effective in terms of producing quality smoked food. Durable, sturdy build, lids are sealed tightly. Very affordable. Easy to clean up.

What experts didn't like

The red paint coating near the vents sometimes peels due to moisture and friction. It can sometimes be difficult to refill the drip tray with water when the smoker is cooking food. You will need to purchase an additional rack, given its size, which is an unfortunate additional purchase.
Relatively small, not enough to accommodate plenty of dishes at the same time.
