Smoking 3 pork butts, when I went to bed at 2, temps were all around 150 but, when I got up at 7 my traeger had stopped working and temps of butts were 95. Fixed the traeger but wondered if butts are still good. Thanks!

I agree. Surface bacteria were long dead and even if Injected, getting to an IT of 150 would have killed them...JJ

Jim and JJ have you covered.

When you do overnight smokes, a remote thermometer set up that allows you to program high and low temp alarms for monitoring your smoker's temp is a must have.

Thank you! I actually have one but, didn't set the low temp thinking I didn't need to do so. Learned a valuable lesson!

Your'e welcome.
It's all part of the learning curve.
My electric smoker has been rock solid from day one.
Do I trust it, the power company, or the weather? Nope!
