    Thanks, that's kind of what I was thinking, I'm showing 27* on my weather app, ~100* smoker temp and my thermopen is showing about 98* internal temp. You think it would be ok to wrap right away and into the fridge? Or is there something with the chemistry of the process that requires it to come...

    Thanks for the tip, the smoker sits under my porch awning and besides that, the snow was light and didn't last very long. However. . . . I'm finally about done with the smoke, should I let it sit at room temp for a while or can I wrap in foil and stuff in the refeer until I'm ready to slice?

It's currently 18*F outside so. . . . Just have to...
