Story

Christy purchased her first smoker, a Red Box Smoker from Sweet Swine O’Mine, and immediately knew it would be her dessert cooker of choice. She had both blueberries and lemon on hand and knew she had to give this a try. She took a traditional pound cake recipe and transformed it into this cast iron masterpiece.
