    • 1). Marinate the meat the night before cooking or for at least two hours.

    • 2). Soak the smoking chips in water for one to two hours and drain before use.

    • 3). Dampen two paper towels. Place each in the bottom of the larger roaster pan at opposite ends of the pan to line the bottom.

    • 4). Invert four of the tuna cans and set them at the four corners of the larger roaster on top of the paper towels.

    • 5). Scatter the soaked and drained smoker chips in the bottom of the roaster on top of the paper towels and between the tuna cans.

    • 6). Set the smaller roasting pan on top of the tuna cans.

    • 7). Repeat the preparation of the smaller pan with two more dampened paper towels and the four remaining tuna cans. Do not add smoker chips to the smaller roaster.

    • 8). Set the small baking rack on top of the four tuna cans in the smaller pan and arrange the meat on top of the rack.

    • 9). Cover the roaster and set on top of two stove burners over medium low heat until smoke seeps out under the lid.
