They were installed over a fire pit made from cement blocks and lined with fire bricks. A hole in the bottom allowed the smoke to enter the "smoker". Pretty sure sure some of them had temperature probes.

Really worked well, and held a lot of meat, poultry, fish, etc.

I've never seen a homemade smoker myself but YouTube has some great videos of peoples homemade smokers and some are very impressive looking.
