A device for heating/smoking, the device comprising:
- a base portion having a substantially solid planar surface with a central aperture;
- a chamber having a top side attached to the base portion, and a bottom side having a central aperture larger than the central aperture of the base portion;
- and
- stop walls positioned on a top side of the base portion to serve as stopping points for plates positions thereon;
- wherein each of the stop walls is U-shaped and has a concave portion;
- wherein the stop walls comprise three U-shaped stop walls, including a top stop wall and two side stop walls such that a serveware is slid onto the top side of the base portion from a side so that the concave portions of the two U-shaped side stop walls entrap opposite sides of the serveware and a first end of the serveware is entrapped by the concave portion of the U-shaped top stop wall;
- wherein the base portion central aperture and the chamber bottom side central aperture have centers along a vertical axis of the device;
- and
- wherein the chamber aperture is adapted to be placed upon a chimney output of a source for heat and/or smoke, wherein heat and/or smoke is directed through the chamber aperture, into the chamber, through the base aperture, and onto the base portion, to heat and/or smoke items placed thereon.
