Thawing a twin pack butt

[poolecw]

How should a twin pack of Butts be properly thawed? They are vac sealed and each will go around 8 lbs. I will be smoking them in seven days.

Thanks.

I thaw them in the original packing in the fridge.

What he said! I like to wrap em up with plastic wrap just in case there is a hole

Thanks, any concerns about Botulism?

Only if your refer temp is 50 degrees. Of course then the whole box is a science experiment and you got way more to worry about...JJ

Yessir. Then you'll no longer need to worry about whether the light is on or off once the door is closed--something growing inside will be telling you to turn the damn thing off if it's on.
