By being a retired professional athlete with a high paying job. Sorry.

I make a tripod of poles and make racks on it, then cover it with either pine boughs or a tarp, depending on what I have on hand. Then, I get a good fire going down to a hot coal bed, and throw my wood onto it. My favorite to use was cedar. Never use any softwoods like pine or spruce, since they'll ruin the meat.

The meat should have as much surface area as possible. Score fish as pictured. They smoke pretty well. With other animals, cut the meat into thin strips. If you want to smoke a large part of meat at once, rather than smoke strips, it's much longer and time consuming.

Usually takes an afternoon of burning to get a full rack smoked.
