If you want to enjoy the thrill of having smoked food from the comfort of your apartment or home, electric smokers are your best option.
While a traditional smoker like a charcoal smoker or a gas smoker is more prominent in size and takes up more space in your home, electric smokers are compact and fit inside small apartments.

Reviews of Each Pick
You just have indoor space but still want to smoke food? That’s why we made this list of the best electric smokers for an apartment. This list has my 5 top picks. The smokers are great for small kitchens and even balcony’s.
Emson 8303 Indoor Pressure Smoker (best overall)
It has a wood chip compartment where you can use different wood types to add more flavor to your food.
You only need a small amount of wood to produce smoke.
The +15 psi internal pressure system in the smoker penetrates the smoke into the food.
You might face the error code, which shows up when the interiors aren’t clean.
This innovative and lightweight smoker comes with a compact design that is easy to use even in small spaces and indoors.

The cold smoke setting is the best feature of this smoker, which you can use to smoke food like fish and cheese, giving it that aromatic flavor of smokiness.
Nordic Ware Kettle Smoker (best price)
This smoker can also be used as a grill, so you get two uses in one device.
It comes with two packs of wood chips and a recipe book free with the smoker.
The one drawback to the Nordic Ware Electric Kettle Smoker is that it is not dishwasher-friendly. This is so to prevent the non-stick properties from fading away.
This is an 8.2-pound electric smoker that is specifically for indoor cooking. It is excellent for apartment use as it doesn’t require a very high temperature to cook. The smoker’s cover is a dome lid that traps all the heat inside and allows the food’s proper cooking.
The Nordic Ware Electric Kettle Smoker includes a water pan and a non-stick smoking rack that makes this smoker easy to clean and manageable. It is effortless to handle and great even for beginners.
George Foreman Electric Grill(best versatility)
It comes with a fat removing slope and a drip tray that is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
It is free of PTFE and PFOA
The removable stand lets you use it both outside and inside.
It does not have a viewing window, so it’s not easy to monitor the cooking process without opening the door, which may release some of the box’s heat.
This smoker weighs 17 pounds and has a serving size of approximately 15 people. The George Foreman Gun Metal Electric Smoker is an apartment approved smoker that requires no fuel to run. It comes with an adjustable temperature probe where you can choose from five different heat settings.

It has a built-in meat probe that can help you adjust the level of temperature of your food.
The one downside to having a high technology smoker is that it may sometimes cause technical difficulties.

The side wood chip-loading system is one of the stand out features. It lets you add chips without opening the smoker door, so you won’t lose any heat from opening the main door. It allows for consistent smoking with a full viewing window at the front so you can sit back and watch as your food cooks in the delicious aroma.
Smokin-It Model #2
It comes with a three-year warranty, so you know you are guaranteed the highest quality.
It has a LED indicator light that aids in accurate temperature checks.
This smoker has four stainless steel racks and a removable drip pan that collects all the grease, making it easy to clean.
Because of the absence of combustion, you may not get the classic barbeque rings you usually get from smoking meat on other types of smokers. However, the food still tastes delicious.
