That is a Crock Grill with the burner and grill missing. I had one back in the early 2000s. The hole is for where the burner plugs into the power supply/thermostat thing. Was actually a great cooking implement, and you should try to find the rest of the parts.
Edit : heres a link to an eBay listing of the model I had.

I had no idea this was a thing. Super interesting, thanks for sharing!
Basically a countertop upside down electric broiler. I used the hell out of mine until my X-w broke it.
I love that they call it smokeless. Sure it is, as long as you never cook anything in it! All you need is a drop of grease or juice from your food to drip on the element and it smoked. Mine had an aluminum reflector/liner in the bottom that stained like a bitch. I stopped using it because it was too much of a headache to keep clean.
Yeah, so not smokeless, but it was effective. I used mine a lot when I had it.
