Smokin' Butts for the Veterans Appreciation Family Picnic

But looks can be deceiving! This baby can smoke – along with the smokin’ skills of Pitmaster Arnold Smallin (Army). And it's big - it can hold as many as 10 pork butts. It does mean Arnold has to get up in the middle of the night to get the smoker fired up and the meat started in order to be ready for lunch. (Now THAT’S dedication!) Smoking is a very slow cooking technique. It takes patience. It takes time.
