When meat is cured then cold-smoked, the smoke adds phenols and other chemicals that have an antimicrobial effect on the meat. [3] Hot smoking has less impact on preservation and is primarily used for taste and to slow-cook the meat. [4] Interest in barbecue and smoking is on the rise worldwide. [5] [6]
If the meat is cold smoked, it should be dried quickly to limit bacterial growth during the critical period where the meat is not yet dry. This can be achieved, as with jerky, by slicing the meat thinly. The smoking of food directly with wood smoke is known to contaminate the food with carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. [34]

Jefferson's smokehouse at Monticello is an integral part of the brick outbuildings. It has a conventional brick fireplace ...
The spoilage of meat occurs, if the meat is untreated, in a matter of hours or days and results in the meat becoming unappetizing, poisonous, or infectious.

A pellicle is a skin or coating of proteins or cellulose on the surface of meat (e.g. smoked salmon) or fermented beverages (e.g. Kombucha)..
