Lost Fire Overnight...am I safe?

Hi Guys...first post ever and first overnight pork shoulder.
Put the pork on and got a dome temp of ~240 that I thought was stable. Checked the meat and dome temp at midnight and things looked great...meat was probably ~135 or so and dome was looking good.
Woke up at 6am to check my BBQ and found that the dome temp and meat had fallen to about 130 over night, but I couldn't tell you when. I immediately started the fire and things are looking good (minus the little snafu).
Do you think this meat is okay to serve?
Would taking the meat up to 200 on the BGE and holding it there for a little longer than normal help anything?
I'd probably eat it if it was just me but I don't want to jeopardize any of my guests.
Any thoughts would be appreciated...I need to know if I should go and pick up some burgers :( I really hope not...
Thanks for any thoughts/opinions...I know this has been posted numerous times before but am looking for insight for my specific temps and results that anyone else has had with a similar problem.

As Stike says, you're ok. I wouldn't do anything extra or out of the ordinary like trying to hold longer in the egg.......it's gonna be great! :laugh:

Bill,
Be cautious of stike's advice. I have seen him eat raw pork that spent thirty hours in an airport luggage areaSteve

and yet, he's alive to tell us about it.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

:laugh: :laugh: word is he already has his cooks lined up for the NH fest

I have done that twice and not killed anyone. As long the temp of the meat was above 145, the USDA says its safe. The danger area is 40-140.
