Hey guys. I’ve been coming here for almost two years to get info but I just registered
I hate to be the new guy who post a question about what to do when ——- happens... but here we are.
So last night I put a 7lb pork shoulder on at 1am. I had it on my Traeger with temp set at 225. A little after 3am, I turned the temp up to 250 because it started snowing and sleeting here in Ohio.....
At 7am power went out. Ice storm :(
I went to start my gas grill.... it’s an old Weber and it started acting up recently. I got it to 200 and that’s as high as it would go. So I went and triple wrapped the pork from the smoker and put it on the grill. Shortly after, the grill started acting up and I was out there for an hour and it was only at about 120....
frustrated, I went back inside to get warm and get some sleep.
I never took the temp of the pork when this was happening as I didn’t want to pierce the skin live I’ve heard not to do....
at 10am the power came back on. I checked the grill and it was dead.
I took the temp of the pork and it was ranging from 175-185 inside. I was surprised. I was gonna to toss it, but I Did some online research and decided to throw it in the oven at 1045am at 225°......
my wife thinks it’s fine, but I’m still worried about the safety.

I got the pork out myself from a sealed package- I used Traeger pork rub and brown sugar- no injection.
When I checked the temp at 10am, the thermometer slid right in like warm butter....
