Put a butt on at 7 am. Get home at 8 and the smoker is turned off. Sitting at 90 degrees.

No idea when it shut off today.

I brined it in a light salt and HEAVY black pepper for two days in the fridge before cooking.

Son of a bitch.

Cooking it to completion anyways. I guess for the dogs...

Sounds like you are using an electric smoker

One of the many, many reasons to stay away from electric smokers.

But to answer your question, I have no idea what to do with that meat. I don’t use an electric smoker, so this has never happened to me.

Can you run it off a a battery pack? I just got a master built gravity smoker than I plan to run that way.

So it just sat for a max of a hour?

How often does your power go out? I guess i maybe get some of the points against a pellet or electric smoker but "there may be a power outage when I'm not home and have meat on" seems like a ridiculous one.

Those can go out if you leave them for hours too.
