How do I make smoke fill a specific object

Question

How do I make it so that smoke only fits a specific object like a cube or sphere so the smoke makes the shape of the object.

Let's say I have a single object of a hat and what I want to do is make the smoke in the shape of the hat.

Help

Use a particle system and set it up and at the end make the particle system to be the smoke/fire. — Shams M.Monem, Sep 05 '17 at 16:37

I think this has been asked previously here:

Why isn't smoke flowing with the shape of the domain?

Basically - use a cube as usual as your smoke domain, and within that add your hollow hat-shaped object, make it a 'collision' object in the physics properties, and place your smoke emitters within that object.
