# Filter-Equipped Indoor Smokers The 'Arden' Indoor Pellet Smoker Allows for Year-Round Use By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2022-04-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indoor-pellet-smoker References: [homecrux](https://www.homecrux.com/arden-indoor-bbq-grill-by-firstbuild/169303/) & [indiegogo](https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/arden-the-indoor-pellet-smoker#/)  Smokers are commonly kept outdoors given the exhaust created during use, but the 'Arden' indoor pellet smoker is engineered to provide avid chefs with a smoke-free experience. The countertop appliance has been developed by [GE](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ge-profile-smart-indoor-smoker) Appliances-backed FirstBuild and features a compact design that prioritizes interior space. The unit works by having meats placed within before filling up the internal chamber with [wood pellets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recteq-xfire-pro) and setting the system to the desired levels. The system will go to work smoking foods to perfection, while the [built-in filtration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highperformance-kitchen-ventilation-system) will prevent the smoke from being released into the kitchen environment. The 'Arden' indoor pellet smoker features an intuitive digital display for adjusting the functionality and fine-tuning the temperature according to the recipe.
