A smoked tomato is a completely different animal, I mean vegetable, from it's grilled cousin. As the tomato smokes, it releases a lot of it's juices and the flavors intesify. It's somewhere unique between a fresh tomato and a sun-dried version.
I forgot to mention garlic. Smoke them as whole cloves. When done, you just squeeze out this incredible smoked garlic paste right out of the clove. Damn good stuff.
