Can the smoker be used indoors (Basement) with some sor of venting? If so, how would you design the venting system?

I'm not expert on venting, but I wouldn't think so. There's a trickle of smoke that comes out at all times, but when you open the door to get your meat out, there's quite a blast (which I love, btw). :-)

Yes you can use it in the smoker. I use mine in my Masterbuilt Smoker and O put it through the vent into the meat

Well, first off, it would only work for cold smoking in that setup. It will not work in a charcoal / wood environment due to oxygen restraints. For cold smoking, you could place it in the firebox and see how the air flows. If you're getting smoke out of the stack, then it will work. If not, it may be necessary to put it on or below the bottom grate. A decent supply of O2 is key in getting good results from this contraption. Hope this helps.

It would create too much smoke to use indoors. I've had one for 4 years. Works great outdoors but min is under a patio roof. Manufacturer says no.

I use mine outdoors. That requires no venting. You can use it indoors, however, you must duct away the gas exhaust which is hot and contains whatever chemicals result from the combustion = probably CO2. So-you need some sort of insulated flue system like you would with a gas stove. You can download the owner's manual which describes how to do an indoor installation. Outdoors is so much less hassle.

You can adjust the spring loaded door latches to allow for a more snug closure. Also adjust your vent on the top right. The vent will control the flow of smoke and also effect the humidity inside of the smoker. When I make jerky or smoked salmon I set the vent all the way open. When smoking brisket, turkey, and ham, I close it down until smoke comes out the door then open it back up just a little more to allow the smoke to draft up. By doing so this will keep the humidity level inside the smoker higher.

I definitely wouldn't use indoors. One, a lot of smoke does escape. Not just in the hole in the back, but also around the door. Also, mine tends to trip fatty, smoky condensation down the legs. I have heard of people using these in the garage with the door slightly open and a fan pushing the smoke out.

No you will need desperate ventilation. However remember you don't have the open flame heat like a gas stove so less ventaltion is needed just to remove smoke or orders. I just have a microwave above with vent and it is perfect!

Tim;Simply light and place in the actual smoke chamber opposite the exhaust vent. You will have plenty of convection to keep it burning.

Yes. As long as you have a place for the smoke to vent...that its not a covered balcony. You can set the smoker-roaster on a cookie sheet or metal table.

Should not be an issue. As long as the heat is coming from the bottom of the smoker, it should work great.

Yes, we only use it indoors. Very little smoke/fumes. We use it by the patio doors just in case we need to open them for ventilation and I keep a small fan nearby to "engourage" any smoke to move the way we'd like. Portability is its greatest feature.

This is only a guess but no to use this stove you need ventilation........ I would never use it inside. (Unless possibly you set it inside a fire place)

We have been using it outside since we purchased it and our smoker has never been wet when we removed the cover. I couldn't understand the "indoor use only" description. Who uses a smoker indoors?

I wouldn't recommend it, it says indoor because it's electric, but you will smoke yourself out if you use it inside

I've used it indoors beside the window with a huge fan pulling the smoke out....
