Pioneering farmers built wood smoke houses for drying and preserving their butchered meat. These structures came in different sizes, usually had a sandy floor and hooks in the ceiling for hanging hams and other types of meat during the slow curing process.
Smoked meat has a long shelf life, sustained farmers and their families from one season to the next and was especially critical to help people survive during hard times. |
