Question
Is it permissible to smoke tuna in a can?
Answer
It is permissible, but you must first empty the tuna and immerse the can (without a blessing).

Although the Maharil Diskin in "Kuntres Acharon" section 136 wrote to permit emptying the vessel, nevertheless, when smoking in the can, it is not emptied but turned into a cooking utensil, requiring immersion. And although there might be room to be lenient with a can, as written by the Chazon Ish in Orach Chaim, section 51, that the Jew turns it into a utensil, nevertheless, our teacher Rabbi's opinion is to be cautious and it requires immersion without a blessing.
