GamecockC Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Got family coming over today for BBQ. Got 16 pounds of butt on the KJ at 6pm yesterday. Temp bounced 220-250 until 10pm and I went to bed. Work up at 6 am and the KJ was out. I dont remember what the dome temp was but i think it was 150 or below. I probed each side of the meat and the internal temps were 155-160 on each side. (Note that I didnt probe the meat before or during the cook). Ive now got it wrapped in foil and in the oven at 250. Since the internal temp was above 140 this morning, I think im fine. But since i dont know what the Dome temp was, am I ok to serve the food? Is it ok if the surface of the butts are less than 140? Never had this happen so im not sure what to do. Thanks!

Panchango Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 If you want, just wrap it and throw it in the oven. You already put smoke on it and just need to finish cooking it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

len440 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 You should have some tasty butt juice when you unwrap it . That doesn't sound right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WI/TN Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 The bonus of finishing in the oven (at least the times I have had to do it)...your house has that pork smell for a couple days or two. The downside...opening the bedroom door the next morning, that smell hits, you think there may be bacon...but there is no bacon.
