Egg went out twice - time to toss the butt....

greetings friends,

i smoked my best butt yesterday ever, and was so impressed with my masterful unparalleled BGE abilities, I decided to turn right around and drop another frozen butt on the grate on my way out. Returning many hours later to find the Egg dropped to 100 degrees with a tiny ember left burnig.  I repiled the charcoal that was left in there and threw in more smoke wood and went to bed. 

It it went out again. Meat is at 144 but the Egg will have to be reloaded and is at 100 again. 


I think it's done. I wasn't going to serve it if it was just once - risk myself for science. But twice? Seems too risky....

Damg...

    IF the meat is over 140, you're in the hold zone in terms of food safety. Once the temp is back up you'll kill anything on the surface. Worst case, You pull it and it has a funky flavor/smell. Toss it and order pizza.
