Now at the risk of dating myself we built a new house on the farm in 1963 and had no more use for the old out house, moved it over beside the garage, gutted it out and converted it into the smoke house, worked just great, was still in use when the folks moved off the farm in 1995.
Can't say how many pounds of sausage, bacon, hams and fish were smoked in there but I have 4 brothers and 4 sisters so it was a lot, all wood fire on the ground under an old modified tub, never had any fancy meat probes like now a days but got it just hot enough that the sausage would start to drip, then hit the fire with wet wood that had been soaking in a bucket of water. Best darn smoker every.
