Lucy, I don't know what pup belching is, but I think I'm guilty.

Get a rack that fits inside this, and make it elevated (placing tuna cans under it or something). The idea is to put some wood chips at the bottom of the pan with the rack sitting above it, and have the food on top of the rack. (The lid would be on the pot.) In this way, your stove would gently warm the wood until smoking and this would in turn smoke your meat( or veggies). Alternatively, if you had a roof or small balcony (or in the park) you could put some wood chips in a foil pouch and place the pouch over coals in a mini grill with lid. We actually got an awesome mini grill for ten bucks down the street. Sure, you can do the following:
