Fire went out

RacDawg · July 2004

Big trouble on the home front. I have two butts doing their thing on the egg. At 300am they were perfect. At 645am the fire had "left the building" with the temp all the way down (egg warm at best). The internals on both butts were 150plus. I've restarted the fire and had them back on by 0710am (internals still 150plus). I started the temp a bit hot and will let it work its way back down. So...does anyone have any insight into any health issues that I should be concerned with. Without question, I eat'em both. Its my guests that I'm concerned about. Thanks for any help you can offer.

racdawg,[p]Should be okay take the internal meat temp to 200º

racdawg,[p]From what I learned, once you get a meat temperature above 140* you are out of the danger zone. You should be fine, I am iffy because my meat temp backslid to 136 from 140 when I hit the sack.

racdawg,
You should be fine. The time to be worried is when you just don't know what temperature the butts got to and how long they have been below 140, etc. If they were above 140 when you found them, you are good to go.[p]TNW
