Crap - Help! Power outage overnight - mid smoke.

[carolinadoug]

Well - this is a first. Woke up at 6:26 to get ready for church and found my clock flashing 2:38. Backwards math - figured power went out around 3:55ish and of course - last night I put a pork butt on at 10:30 to be ready for mid day today.

Just checked my tappecue site and see that the pork butt got to 155* at 3:55am before it slowly limped back down to 120* when i woke up.

Just fired everything back up and still plan on getting it to 165 - wrapping and pulling it at 200*

But - should I be okay? Don't need to get anyone sick. Crap.

Read this thread. I’d have originally thought not good but learned a lot here from chef jimmyj https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/mes-quit-during-the-night.286955/

It's fine.... Got to 155 and that killed all the bad stuff... Continue with your plan...
