    What's the magic number?

    When I first started, I would freak at 230 (thought was way to high) trying to get 225 lol. I am much better now. I do try to keep below 240 but I don't worry to much. Just have to try for what you want, but be open to what it wants to do.

    pork butt for benefit

    So one more question, can I safely put a bucket of water in the fridge and let it get below 40, then put frozen/partially frozen pork butts in it to thaw quicker (butts have been staying in the fridge in a foil pan individually wrapped)? I want to thaw and rub, then put back in fridge overnight...

    pork butt for benefit

    Thank you for all the replies. I just wanted to make sure I didn't do something unsafe. I know about keeping out of the Danger zone as I have in the past for smoking for my family and I.

    pork butt for benefit

    I have picked up pork butts and spoke to meat cutter that delivered them. They have not been frozen. So it's just freezing uncooked and then thawing to smoke, then to freeze until benefit and thaw and heat.
