Keeping Thawed Pork Butt in the Fridge?
I recently picked up 2 9lb twins still in cryovac.
It's been in the fridge for a week waiting to be smoked. I know, I know. My issue, although minor is that I feel it's too late today to start them. I don't want them turning south on me. How long is too long in the fridge? Thanks! |

Cryopack should be good for 7 days. You'll know once you open and rinse. If it smells, it goes.

Since it sounds like you just purchased them, isn't there a pull date or freeze by date on the package ?

I think I've had them for about 10 days. I'm gonna throw them on the UDS just for grins with chicken legs and tri tip. Gonna be a gamble, but we'll open her up here in a few to check. Wish me luck! |

Have to remember to plan a little better next time. Butts are now in the drum. Monitoring temps with my new ET-733, which says a tad over 300 right now. Trying to bring it down a tad. Goes to show the dial in the side of the drum is a rough estimate...Really rough. |
