So did we on the smoker. We made a shanty about 4’ x 6’, mounted on a skid so we could move it.
It looked so much like a schithouse, that The Old Man cut a fake half moon in the door!
But you could hang hams and bacon in there, and put the bottom of a 55 gal drum with smoldering hickory and apple wood on the floor.
Shut the door and forget it for a couple days.
We’d soak cuts of deer in a saltwater brine, and then hang them in there too.
After it’d smoked a while, we’d use a store bought slicer to carve it up.
Beats the heck outta store bought jerky.
