Ok everyone, I'm sorta new to SMF and have been smoking meat for about 18 months now. I have a MasterBuilt upright gas smoker, and last night I put 2 butts on to smoke for my son's graduation party next weekend. When I checked them at 1am, they were around 150 degrees - but I read that I need them at 205 degrees to make pulled pork. I noticed at that time that my gas gauge said I was getting low, but I still had gas.
I went inside and ended up falling asleep (big mistake). When I woke at 6am and went to check on the butts, much to my dismay I had ran out of gas and the internal temp of the meat was around 100 degrees. :-(
My gut instinct is telling me that the meat is no good and I should throw it out. However, before I toss out 20lbs of meat, can anyone else confirm that this is correct? Am I wrong in assuming it's bad? I sliced into it, and it appears fully cooked. I just wasnt sure that it was safe, since it was out on the smoker all night at low temps.
Thanks in advance!
