I agree, there. whenever I've tried smoking anything in my webber,
without the pan 0'water, the heat raises too rapidly, and food ends
up charcoal. Of course, if one had a more controllable smoker, with
an offset smokebox, it would be another story.
I recently (6 months ago?) got a stovetop smoker. I wouldn't want to
smoke peppers indoors, I don't think, but I wonder if using that over
a camp stove might be more successful for me - it's easier to control
the heat, yet still good for small batches a single moderate like
myself would use...
May just bring it to the fields to experiment with...
