I put a 9 lb pork shoulder in last night expecting to wake up and wrap it to finish off the cooking this morning.  to my horror... the smoker quit on me some time during the night.  The Amazn was still puffing away, but the meat was only sitting at 89 degrees.

Is this meat ruined?  Should I even bother trying to finish the cook, or just throw it out and then try and troubleshoot my smoker issues?

It happens, best thing to do chunk it, find out why your smoker quit, get that problem solved and try again.

I know its tough to throw out a chunk of meat, but I wouldn't chance it
