I just finished my first marathon smoke on my UDS's in which I did 3 briskets, 4 butts and yes...(ashamed mod) only one Fatty.
I fired them up Saturday morning around 3am.
I started out with the briskets and the Fatty then moved on to the butts, putting them on around 2:30 yesterday afternoon. Three of the butts were done by 9:30 last evening, which I rested for an hour then pulled... but the last one was just a stubborn SOB (Slow Ol' Butt) and had no desire to reach 200*. So with the round of T-storm Warnings and extremely frequent lightning we had last night, I pulled the SOB off the UDS and put him in the oven to finish.
Finally around 12:30 last night he made it to 200* so I yanked him out of the oven and foiled to let him rest...and perhaps a little shut eye for me too. Well, my shut eye lasted for 5 hours...I awoke at 5:15 and realized that I'd slept a little longer than what I wanted too.
I temped the resting SOB and he was at 152* after ~5 hours of resting. THE QUESTION IS...is this SOB still safe to eat since he (we) rested for so long?
Pron to follow later...but I'm going back to bed now.
Thanks in advance for your advice Brothers...
