I am very suspicious of every new gadget that comes along for the
"gourmet kitchen." So much junk is sold with the name "gourmet" on it
that I am often frustrated over our willingness to buy one thousand
gadgets rather than a few that will be truly functional. However,  when
I saw a stove-top smoker I left my suspicious nature behind and  tried
it. This is a jewel!  The smoker is called a Camerons Smoker, and since
it is made of  stainless steel, it is not cheap. The unit will run
around $50, but  consider the fact that you can smoke on top of your
stove and thus  give flavor to foods without adding a great deal of
salt and fat. I  think it is well worth the investment. It also goes
into the  dishwasher, a bit of frugality that the aluminum version
cannot offer.  The principle is simple. Sawdust is placed in the bottom
of the pan.  A drip pan is then placed over the sawdust and a rack on
top of that.  Food is placed on the top rack and a tight-fitting lid
over the  whole. The unit is then placed on the stove top and the
smoking  sawdust flavors the food while it cooks. It is great! However,
please  remember that this must be done in a well-ventilated kitchen.
One of  these kitchen fans that simply recirculates the air will not
do.  I put 3 fresh trout in my Camerons and cooked it for about 15 to
20  minutes over medium heat. The result is a very moist and flavorful
dish. Nothing else need be added except your own seasoning. I served
the trout cold with mayonnaise and capers. Try smoking your own pork
chops and then pan-frying them, or smoking salmon steaks, or halibut,
or . . . well, you get the idea.  A light dry white wine and a very
fresh green salad are all that are  needed for this fine fish.  From
