I butt a 4ish pound butt on to smoke at 7:30 this a.m. Electric water smoker device. Got it pegged on 225 and went to work. Ran home at lunch to check on it and found that my smoker had surrendered. It was 105 deg on the thermometer and apparently had been that way for a while. Butt was Luke warm feeling and had not cooked any. I threw a fire together in my big pit, put the butt on the cold end and shagged arse back to the office. Question is, do y'all think the pig got ruined in the 4 or so hours it sat in a 100 degree box?

No. It's good as long as it's washed down with Old Charter from a handle...it must be from a handle.

Mr Nap, a woman married you with a name like that?

I think the meat will be fine.

Not-so-famous last words. Second only to "Hold my beer and watch this shite"

There's a general rule of 40-140 in 4 hours for uncured meat. IWNEI

1. Its a solid cut of meat
2. Critters that make you dont really like smoke
3. Your heating to above 140 after it sat out

Just a general rule from the smoking forums I post on. That temperature range is ideal growth conditions for botulism bacteria but I don't really know much about the 4 hours. Just easy to remember saying 40-140 in 4. It would probably be fine but that off chance of botulism scares me.
