    Pork butt safe to eat? (w/ temp graph)

    Thanks. I didn't do mustard or any other binder, but I did go heavy on the salt in the rub. And obviously smoke.

    Pork butt safe to eat? (w/ temp graph)

    I think I'm leaning towards tossing it. My only hang-up is the external temp of the meat (internal temp of the smoker) got to 140° in the first two hours and never dipped below it again.
