At 4hrs the smoker is at 220f and the internal temp is at 163f... going to foil it at 165f and then take it up to 200f if that is about what I'm supposed to do!
looking good so far... i echo the concerns on the leaving on the counter overnite and the unknown time in the danger zone. if you need to do this again have a cooler w/ice handy. sometimes frig gets over full with food preps on a big smoke and i will go that route. not to mention i can have the food close to the smoker. when i sear mine they go straight from the frig or cooler to the hot searing grill. that way the sear has basically no effect on int temp. aside from that looks like everything is looking good...At 4hrs the smoker is at 220f and the internal temp is at 163f... going to foil it at 165f and then take it up to 200f if that is about what I'm supposed to do!
