This is a very interesting diversion. I find it interesting because many ancient cultures did not have ready access to salt and used smoke exclusively as a cure to preserve meat. This is done even now in Arctic regions. A few years back, I was inside a smoking tent made of reindeer skin that was filled with strips of reindeer meat. At the center was a small smoky fire. It was warm inside, but not so warm that I was uncomfortable. It was explained that the smoke alone was used as a preservative.
