I had a similar set up years ago except I had two refrigerators back-to-back instead of an outhouse.

How are you supposed to get your business done with all that smoke in there?
Poor chickens don't have anywhere to go!
Darn the stories I could tell about when I was young.
My dad and I would dig a trench about 18" x 18" in the ground & 20' long and cover with tin sheets. The at one end we would have a fire pit for Apple, Cherry Wood and the other end a Wooden Barrel like from Whiskey Storage. My mom would make the Rings of Kielbasa and then my dad and I would put the rings on wooden sticks and put on the top of the wooden barrel. Then cover with Burlap to let the smoke filter through. we would start a fire at the fire pit end but let it smolder then the smoke would travel through the trench cooling down before getting to the Barrel with the kielbasa. This was a two day process for all the Kielbasa Rings we would smoke.
This was done before Easter and we had a never-ending line of people wanting my Mom's and Dad's Kielbasa. It is a tradition for the Slovak and Polish people.
I still have the cast iron packer for the kielbasa, it is over 70 years old.
Jill and I make venison/wild hog Kielbasa with the same packer and a newer meat grinder and automated Bradley smoker.
I'll have to post some pictures.
Our friends say that it is so good that we should sell what we make. I tell them We would have to charge about $200 per pound with all the work of hunting a deer & Hog then processing. People that don't hunt and don't process their own meat have no idea of the cost and work involved.
BUT it is worth it for there is no better taste of a wild animal than making it HOME MADE!!!

Venison hind quarter I did in Jan. Followed the Meat eaters Cookbook. After it was done I sliced into it , it was great. Until I got to the middle. It was almost raw. Had to put in the oven and roast it for a bit. Then I remembered that guy likes his meat verrry rare. got chunks of it in the freezer waiting for the best occasion.

My dad and a buddie of his used the driveway sewer pipe (dry side of the road) and a cardboard refrigerator box to smoke a batch of venison sausage fire on one end ...box to catch the smoke..mom wasn't happy they used her noodle drying rack to hang the sausage on in the ditch
Where's there is a need, A solution well appear!

Alaska 1968-1969 remote, Fire Island, Ak.
Annual smelt run
Civilian (civil service types who lived in AK forever and knew what to do)
Old gym locker (kind of looked like one of these
10 or so feet of old duct
Any old wood we could find on the island
This was the first time any of us young military types ever tasted a smoked finger sized fish.
Great memories

I'm sure this fella was just smoking his meat.
There was a import from Hawaii called Maui Wowie. I've been told it was very good.
