Make an aluminum foil tray with raised edges to fit on top of the wire rack. Arrange fresh or canned tomatoes on the tray. Close the stovetop smoker almost tight. Place over one burner on medium-high. When a wisp of smoke escapes, close the stovetop smoker lid all the way, then start your timer. Your tomatoes are done when they have a good, smokey aroma and are slightly burnished, about 20 minutes.
