Good afternoon all. New member and first post. I have a bit of a dilemna. I have a 5lb pork loin I want to smoke. The issue is my thermometer died on me. I don't want to go to the store just for this with all the virus stuff happening. I know that internal temp is supposed to be 145 degrees, but I have no way to accurately measure it. Can anyone give me an approximate cook time at 225 or 250 degrees? My only other option is to use a generic meat thermometer that does not have temperatures but rather rare, medium, and well gradients, Would I be alright to use this to "test" the temperature of the pork by equating the gradients to temperature based on steak to get a numerical value for the pork. ie steak is medium at 145 degrees and medium well at 150 degrees? Thank you for any advice.
