Yesterday about 9:00 in the morning I smoked some ribs. We had a party at the house in the backyard. Done smoking them at 3:00 in the afternoon. Cut some up and served. Closed the lid to the offset smoker and forgot they were there until today. No ants attacked them overnight and they look fine.
Are they preserved enough with the smoke to still eat or would it be unsafe to eat them since they were not refridgerated and left out all day yestrday until now 9:35 AM PST. It's about 73 F degrees now so I take it it's about 10 degrees hotter in the bbq.
Please advise. Should I eat or throw out? Oh I have bbq sauce on them if that matters.
Thanks in advance.
