Butt Help -- PLEASE!!!!

Fidel

I went to bed and my fire was at 246 and my butts were at 65

I woke up and my fire is at 244 and my butts are at 193

Are they still safe to eat? My fire didn't go out or anything.

Oh yea, and they are done a little earlier than my anticipated 1.75632 hours per pound. How long can I hold them before serving? I'm not expecting any company so it really doesn't matter when I eat.

Seems to be an otherwise boring Saturday morning.

You can hold it till I get there. Hows the stock in the beer fridge?

Man, you really know how to sleep! :woohoo:
Careful when you hold them...they will be pretty hot. :evil:

Yum yum yum yum

Sorry to hear about the butts Fidel. If they had just gone 1.8000 hours per pound they would have been salvageable. You can always do what Stike does and dry age them for 45 days. :blink:


Have a great weekend,

Dang man,that's a tough call I'd prolly let it rest until the guinea pig in Cumming could get out there and test it for ya :P :laugh:

Fidel

You know me man...you haven't been here since I upgraded the beer fridge.

Let's just say I have a few cases and multiple selections from which you may choose your favorite frosty beverage of choice.

Rod,

Sounds like my yesterday. Served up one butt at 1:30 and the boys and I ate most of the other at 5:30. I had pulled the butts at 10:30am. So I can testify that a 7 hr cooler hold can be had (cooler sat in the sun). tummies all good so far :P Cinnamon rolls just came off and then to try egrets brownies and some pig candy for the kids baseball party. They put me in charge of the desserts. :pinch:

Sarcasm becomes you, but I will do you some better..

I have two cracked fire rings and 3 toasted gaskets. My eggs held 250 all night. I started putting the meat in the cooler, but I had to kick the eggs up to 300 to make sure they all finish What's up with that??

Fidel

My firebox and fire ring are both cracked, and I have no "officially approved" gasket on mine either

And that DigiQ is a wonderful tool, eh Pete?

Celtic Wolf

Yes they are...

Boy I see the problem, you’re trying to hide your mistake with sarcasm. Nevertheless, you’ve done the right thing to come here for advice. Clearly you should have stabilized the egg at 250 before going to bed. The data clearly indicates that your temperature was too low, and the fact that your butts are only at 193 is confirmation of that. I would err on the side of good sense & caution and throw those butts out. You are taking a huge risk if you eat them. The rest of your query is therefore irrelevant. In the future, pay closer attention to the rules and you won’t have this problem. I follow the rules closely and all 6 times I made butts they came out great. Happy egging

I'd toss them, better safe than sorry. -RP

Get out your mexican hammock, set it by your forest , have a rest with your favourite malt beverage ....&...oh...the butt...yes the butt......give it to the neighbor you don't like..... :woohoo: :laugh: ...... You could invite Pat to polish it......but then you'd have to worry about everything else... :laugh:

Fidel

That beautiful hammock is hanging under the deck right now. I've spent many an afternoon swinging in the breeze in it.
