Human Leg in a Smoker

(Maiden, North Carolina) Local police were quite curious to learn why a severed human leg was found in a smoker. After a few questions, the mystery was solved.

Some time ago, John Wood was injured in a plane crash and had to have his leg amputated. Reportedly for religious reasons, he kept the leg, wrapped it in paper and stored it in a smoker. Yesterday, a buyer purchased the smoker at an auction of items abandoned at a storage locker and discovered the leg.

According to John Wood's mother, Peg Steele, her son will soon be traveling to Maiden to retrieve his leg. So, case closed.

Well, not exactly. Several salient points have not been disclosed. For example, was the leg actually smoked? If so, is the smoker useable after smoking human flesh? If not, is the smoker usable after housing decomposing human flesh? Also, what religion requires the retention of surgically removed body parts but doesn't necessarily require that a person remembers where a body part was stored?
