On that smoker shed I have a tip from the old days.
Draw a big circle on the ground and stick some stakes in the ground about a meter apart all around.
Then weave willow and hazel lathes in and out all around until it looks like a basket.
Smear mud on the lathes until you have a mud wall.
Stack poles along the roof until you have a cone shape and cover that structure with thatch.
Build your fire in the middle of the floor and let the smoke escape through the thatch.
Hang the meat from the poles forming your roof. The smoke hanging in the roof area waiting to dissipate through the thatch will cure the meat perfectly.
I believe that was how they did it in your area for the 7,000 years after farming arrived and before tins were invented.
