[3.80] Smoker. Hot smoking. Now version 1.2!

[JP_Finn]

Correct, the hot smoked meat isn't smoked as the smoke/dry/salt mechanism is hardcoded. Technically hot smoking is [roast] with extended [SPOILAGE_DAYS]
Vanilla meat soup doesn't allow using any cooked meats, so I guess you're using a modded recipe. If that's the case, you could edit the cookery recipe to call for {*cut} [ask_num]
