    Fire went out on Brisket - not sure when, doh!

    Hey y’all!! I was smoking a ~10lb brisket overnight and woke up to no fire (I ran out of fuel like a dope).

    Is pork safe to eat being wrapped raw?

    I am trying to do a Hawaiian pulled pork style sandwich. I wrapped the entire raw pork shoulder in banana leaves and put it on the smoker at 200. It’s now been 4 and a half hours roughly and it has reached 145. If I continue on to 170ish will my pork still be safe to eat? Beginner here obviously...

    Turkey Breast Cook

    How long can I keep a fresh, not frozen, turkey breast in my garage refrigerator before I cook it? I say garage refrigerator because it might get opened once a day, I am going to smoke it the day before thanksgiving, and just want to know how early I can buy it.

    Fatties and Food Safety

    All this talk about fatties has inspired me to make some for the Super Bowl. But I noticed that no one seems to use Cure #1 in their recipes. Why is this?

    Refrigerator at ~41° F - Brisket & Duck Bacon
