Design and use

Traditionally, a smokehouse is a small enclosed outbuilding often with a vent, a single entrance, no windows, and frequently has a gabled or pyramid style roof. Communal and commercial smokehouses are larger than those that served a single residence or estate.

In old time smokehouses, preservation was achieved by salt curing and prolonged smoking which took about 2 weeks with cold smoke.
