For basics:
Leave a section of floor off so you can access the bare ground where you want to place your fire.
Build a box frame above it 2m high so you can reach in but not accidentally walk into the fire.
Now make a chimney with wall panels up to the roof line.
Make another frame above the roof line and put a roof on it.
This channels the smoke up while keeping the fire covered.
In a hall with a tall roof you can just leave off walls at the roof line to vent smoke out the sides.
You'll figure out other methods as you go.
