Really nice work with this! It's been great seeing all the prototype revisions and improvements implemented into the final product, it's clear the team has put a lot of thought and effort into making a smooth user experience.
I was wondering what's the use of showing the firmware info in the original video, and then this updated video with WiFi settings came out. Nice! Thank you!
Please add Combustion Predictive Thermometer compatibility so we can control the oven temp based on Surface Temp for true ∆T smoking. They use an open source platform so it can be easily integrated into any smart appliance...
The finer points of how the connectivity will work, will be coming out in future videos. We are trying to pack out as much info as we can, as fast as we can. It's tough with a video crew of 1 person. haha
That's really hard to predict, as once they ship they are quite literally out of our hands as far as precise timing goes. That's why we can really only say October they will start shipping. Hopefully ASAP
Id really like a response as Im on the fence about buying this. Is this a healthier way to smoke meats? Traditional smoking is subject to higher levels of carcinogens which are linked to cancer. Being the main heat source is independent of smoke/wood/charcoal, would the smart smoker be healthier??
Making a claim on this in any way would require lots and lots of very specific testing over a long period of time. So we really can't provide an answer for this, sorry.
Hi, I used this helpful video to set my Arden up a few mins ago. Quick question where can I buy the 2 hand claws you used to pull the meat apart in this video? How much do they cost?
When is this avaible for purchase? Also, is it able to be cintrolled/viewed within the app while away from home? Will it give warning when water or chips are running low?
No, you can still order one. You will however, be last in line, so to speak, so we can't guarantee it will arrive before the end of October but you will still be with the original group shipment. www.indiegogo.com/projects/arden-the-indoor-pellet-smoker#/
you could if you want to. We have not tried that. We also strongly recommend making sure any kind of meat is up to the recommended internal temperature before consuming. (certified kitchen manager responding)
Why no response to request to raise the max temperature to 350 degrees ? Cooking items lower that the recipe recommends is a little tough with an indoor smoker. You need to wait 15 to clear the smoke. You can't just keep opening the "lid". And temperature probes don't work well in things that start soupy. If it's a hardware change I'll stop asking. Thank you, Richard
It was a tough call, but yes, more or less hardware. As in, unpredictability with some components as cavity temps get higher and higher. 300 is perfectly fine. Going higher will require lots more testing to be implemented. A current compromise to ensure that each Arden will have a long and smooth functioning life. Hope that helps.
@@Firstbuild thank you for the response. I understand. I hope you can test at some point (even after delivery). You could provide an update on feasibly and if it's a go put out a software update. I certainly don't want to try to delay delivery ! I think the product looks incredible and can't wait to receive. Thank you, Richard
If you are referring to the Lowe's product page, it is the Arden, and they only recommend pure hardwood pellets that have not gone through any pyrolysis to remove any volatiles. This may be for the catalyst system which they 'tuned' for smoldering hardwood (versus smoke from cigarettes which these catalyst systems are often used for in Asia), but you are "free to experiment" at your own risk with unpredictable results according to FirstBuild. Since charcoal burns slightly hotter blended pellets may provide a different smoke profile worth trying out. What is also interesting is Lowe's pre-listing at $999 versus the original $1,099 anticipated retail price. The product description also mentions Amazon and Google voice assistant compatibility.
@@flynace thanks for the information love, I'm completely new to smoking, so I'm trying to look up as much information as I can before I get to try the arden out in October. 🙂
Third time watching this video. I'm hooked on them all! Any chance is mentioning the size of the 3 cooking racks? I'm guessing 8x12. ?? I know I'll find out 1st hand eventually but I can't wait.
I've never been so excited for something in my adult life. I was salivating by the end. I can't wait to get this in!
Really nice work with this! It's been great seeing all the prototype revisions and improvements implemented into the final product, it's clear the team has put a lot of thought and effort into making a smooth user experience.
This is a grown man's Easy-Bake oven! Love the concept. Congrats on being picked up by GE! Great brand, we have a lot of Profile in our home.
Well, didn't think I could get more excited, but your news re WIFI has definitely increased the suspense!!!
We have been trying our best to pull out all the stops on this one.
So glad I ordered one.
Second that.
I was wondering what's the use of showing the firmware info in the original video, and then this updated video with WiFi settings came out. Nice! Thank you!
yup, we were going to hold off and make the "connected" aspect it's own video and then decided that we didn't want to wait anymore! haha

Second!
Genius!
Fantastic !
Looks very promising, any idea when it will be possible to buy it in Europe ?
Hey the indoor smoker came out! Awesome. I miss BBQ Wednesdays!
I found the claws on Amazon ❤
I cant wait
Please and thanks a cover to protect the smoker when not in use.
Will it work with Google Assistant?? Awesome bonus feature, gang. Can't wait to get smoking.

@@Firstbuild I'm excited to hear details!
How bout smoking a pork tenderloin?
nothing sharpens knives better than time and experience. this would be an excellent quick sharpen especially for kitchen knives!
Is there a video ANYWHERE that shows how much smoke this actually produces?
Who knew Skynet would come in the form of an indoor, countertop smoker. As long as the AI overlords keep the brisket coming I’m ok with it. 🤖
"Come with me if you want to eat ribs"
@@Firstbuild hasta la barbacoa, baby
How long does the fan run after the unit is powered off
I guess I can use that plastic wrap as a dust cover for now😂
Is 'AUGER' still an option on the menu?
Yes it is. Prime auger
Not sure if this was explained but Do I have to prime the auger every time I start a new cook?
Nope. Just prime any time you run it empty of pellets or change them out!
Do also show the smart features ❤️
working on it!
Do we have to prime the cavity (run a smoke cycle) before the first cook like we have to with other smokers? Will it come with a cook book?
No seasoning required!!!
I ordered two. When in October will they arrive???
That's really hard to predict, as once they ship they are quite literally out of our hands as far as precise timing goes. That's why we can really only say October they will start shipping. Hopefully ASAP

no such app called Arden ??
Will there be a rotisserie add on in the future?
Not currently in the works, but that doesn't mean it will never happen
Is it too late to order one for the October shipping timeframe?
No, you can still order one. You will however, be last in line, so to speak, so we can't guarantee it will arrive before the end of October but you will still be with the original group shipment.

Would a smoke tube be possible for use with this?
That's what the hopper and auger are for. plus no because it would still be burning when you opened up the door.
Any chance of pushing 325°F for the high temp?
Or is that out of range for your catalyst smoke eliminator?
Mine is being delivered and I’m out of town. I’m gonna lose sleep! 😡😡😡
When are we going to get shipment info ?
I wonder when these are going to start shipping. I was one of the first backers and haven't received any email notifications giving status.
October. We are on schedule and everything looking good
Is the indoor smoker able to be shipped to south korea ?
not at this time, sorry.
@Firstbuild I hope someday it could shipped here 🙏 Thanks for the quick reply!
Can you use keep warm to low temperature long time cook a steak or chicken breast and then sear?
you could if you want to. We have not tried that. We also strongly recommend making sure any kind of meat is up to the recommended internal temperature before consuming.
(certified kitchen manager responding)
are these for sale yet? would love to pick one up when they're ready for sale.
They told me start of 2024

Thanks for the explanation But I see it as very expensive at $999. Thank you very kindly, they should reduce it to $500.

Can I use charcoal pellets in the GE Profile Smart Indoor Smoker?

I just checked the comments on the previous video. So...
8½" X 11" Cooking area. That will work. I feel like I just learned a national secret!
