DIY Smoker

Works fine for small batches.

Hopefully you would have more than a barrel would hold.

We had a free standing shed with a woodstove outside pumping smoke in for cold smoking, or we could build a fire directly on the stone floor to smoke and raise the temp at the same time.

Yes I was recently watching an episode of Wild Alaska and some guy there was using a huge great 30 foot tall shed in which he was smoking thousands of salmon fillets at a time, just for his own winter stores!

A "well sealed" timber shed would indeed be ideal and give more room for moving around whilst hanging the meet/fish etc.
