I've used my stovetop smoker about 3 or 4 times a month for 7 years. I thought it would be fun to try tea/rice instead of wood chips (I did line the bottom with foil and layered the ingredients as directed). Followed cooking directions. Result: Acrid, nasty, and tasted like ashes; nothing like what I get using wood chips.
