Dear Angela
there are quite a lot of smoking installations in Roman Switzerland: https://www.academia.edu/33814226/Das_r%C3%B6merzeitliche_Handwerk_in_der_Schweiz, pages 137ss.

Can anyone point me towards publications that include structural evidence for meat/fish smokers or other smoking installations?
I have a colleague researching Roman corn driers, and we were wondering if these structures could be uses for other purposes, like meat or fish smoking. I'm familiar with the zooarchaeological evidence for preserved meat in the Roman period - especially scapulae deposits - , and am interested in structural evidence for associated installations.
In the meantime, here is a mosaic from Madrid with a possible fish smoker on it:
