Hickory Smoked Marinara

Should I peel and smoke the tomatoes or make the sauce and then smoke it???

From my experience it is hard to drive smoke down into a pot of sauce. Smoking the tomatoes may give you some. I think the best way is by adding smoky spices and or smoked salt. Smoked paprika would be a good spice to use. Don

I smoke our veggies before we top em on our pizzas so we get the wood fired flavor............
