Using a stovetop smoker to cook foods is safe, easy and fast. This tutorial shows you how to smoke salmon, but once you learn the basic method, you can smoke other kinds of fish, meats or vegetables. I'm using a Camerons Stovetop Smoker, so if you're using a different kind of smoker, consult your instruction manual to make sure the method is the same. This step by step guide illustrates how to make Easy Smoked Teriyaki Salmon.
Place wood chips in a small pile in the base of the smoker. To smoke most foods, you won't need more than a tablespoon of the chips. Be sure to use wood chips designed specifically for stovetop smokers. These chips come in tiny pieces, almost like sawdust. Place the drip tray on top of the chips. You can cover the tray with aluminum foil (be sure to leave the holes in the corner of the smoker uncovered) or spray it with nonstick cooking spray for easy cleanup. Then place the cooking rack (you can also spray this with cooking spray) on top of the drip tray.
