This.
In hindsight I think OP is thinking more about cooking outdoors.
Perhaps they could take the portable cooktop outside and cook the smokey food there.
Edit: I didn't hit refresh before I posted so I didn't see your second post.
They are nice and efficient and safer to use though. I saw a good quality kmart house brand one the other day, I'm going to pick one up myself.
We've got a Phillips one from TGG, mainly used for cooking at the dining table. It doesn't "simmer" well though, just full blast and off.
We bought 2 from kogan $49 each about 3 years ago. They're great. Have one on the bench, if we need another pull it out. Very controllable.
No complaints with our Tefal one.
We have an Ikea one. However you still need to ventilate the steam/smoke coming from the cooking.
I'd expect "smokey" is caused more by what's on the cooktop rather than the cooktop itself.
