Hi kitcnmomma,
What is it you are planning to smoke?
There are A # of ways to smoke foods without a "smoker"
If you want to do Ala minute stove top smoking you can take a pan with a 2 inch wall(make sure that you don't care if this pan gets ruined)take your wood chips of choice and soak them in water for a hour or so. you can add cloves ,cinnamon sticks even Tea.I do a tea smoked duck breast at work. Any way after you have soaked the wood,place it in tin foil and wrap it up. Place in the bottom of your pan, place a rack over the wood. put this on the stove top and put on medium flame until you start to see smoke. Place you item to be smoked on top of the rack and cover very tightly with tin foil. Depending on what your smoking will determen the time.
Make sure when you remove the foil you remove it under your hood and unwrap the foil from the back end so you don't get hit with all the smoke. I hope this helps. Also there are some good books out there for smoking foods,don't have any names off the top of my head.Happy smoking
