What is the Indoor Smoker trend?
Indoor Smoker: Barbecue and grilling brands are releasing indoor smoker grills with air filters for safe use. These grills are designed to offer the benefits of smoker grills, but with year-round accessibility, as they do not require outdoor ventilation. These grills are often compact countertop varieties.
Insight
The consumer insight behind the Indoor Smoker trend
Consumers with outdoor grills or barbecues often use these devices not only for the flavor of meat they produce, but also for the community-drive, social aspects of barbecues. Amongst these consumers, preferences vary greatly between charcoal grills, electric grills, and more. However, one common complaint amongst all users is the seasonality of grills, with them only being usable during warmer months. Brands are adhering to these desires with safe indoor smoker grills.
