So been smoking a pork butt over night and the grill ran out of pellets as we put it on late and I didn’t check. The grill was off maybe an hour or so. Is it safe to eat. Noticed at 9:50.

  1. It’s safe, just add more pellets or pop it in the oven.

    I’d finish it. It got hot enough to kill surface pathogens and didn’t drop below 140 for long enough for any that might have gotten inside to really take off. Looks like maybe half an hour below 140?

    Yeah, you should be fine.Man… 15 hours for pork butt. I probably would’ve turned the temperature up a little bit. I do pork butts between six and eight hours.

    Still safe to eat. Likely held temp okay due to being o. The grill. You could finish it in the oven. Smoke doesn’t do much after the half way point or so.
