Yes. Smoking is one of the oldest ways of preserving meat. The heat kills the bacteria that cause decomposition and removes much of the water that provides a good medium for bacterial growth. The tree oils left behind from the smoke also serve to repel insects that may re-infest the meat with bacteria.
