Do you play with a Medieval tech limiter?
Cuz if not then this has less use.

The smokers are very useful if you have a lot of meat and charcoal stored nearby and plenty of pawns walking past the area frequently enough to tend to them. They're very labor-intensive, but they do work if they're being constantly tended to. (I used to think they were broken, too)

I think the more unfortunate thing is that the charcoal pit doesn't seem to with with expanded woodworking. At least from what i remember

No but I did find some other smoked meat mod that I like a lot more. Basically, it's just a cooking job. Slightly less realistic, WAY more useful.

I also resorted to salted meat with VGP, I think. I really enjoy starting tribal and playing without electricity for a year or two so some way to preserve meat for the winter is almost necessary. Pemmican is OK but I've never liked relying on it exclusively. I also settle in harsh biomes, usually cold or desert w/o much growing areas, so I frequently only have access to meat.

Yeah I'm a fan of the realism of it myself. With you have a tech limiter, stuff like this is very important. I gotta say WaterIsLife is rough on medieval.
