Ugh... ash... advice please.

In the midst of an overnight smoke of two pork shoulders. Got an unexpected major rainstorm last night. I woke up to the sound of pounding rain... and saw the temp in my smoker nosedive quickly. I ran outside and in somewhat of a panic, slid the smoker underneath my patio umbrella. Thought all was good, but when I checked this morning, the water bowl had actually dropped onto the coals... and you guessed it. Ash all over the pork. Like a lot of it.

I brushed off what I could and made a mixture of apple cider and vinegar and poured it over the pork which seemed to help.

What do you think? Is this a salvageable situation?

As long as the meat temps stayed in the safe zone you should be fine...

Yeah, don’t think there is an issue with that. The temp in the smoker never went below 200 and for the most part has been in the 235-240 range.

I was more worried about the pork tasting like ash.

If you wipe your butt it won't taste like ash.

Your rinse should've done the trick.
