Will an indoor electric grill set off my smoke alarm?

Good smokeless grills reduce smoke significantly, but some is unavoidable when searing at high temperatures. Position near a range hood and crack a window for best results.

Can indoor electric grills replicate charcoal flavor?

No. Electric grills cannot produce charcoal or wood smoke flavors. They create Maillard-reaction char marks and flavor, which is satisfying but distinctly different from charcoal grilling.
