I put 3 beef chuck roasts in my OBS last night and i left all was going great went to a party and got home about 2 am . and smoker was at 90 degrees .i had to much to drink so i let it sit tell this morning the water did not freeze but IT was 60 brought in to the house to finish in the oven .I will call for a new element Monday .It was 14 degrees out last night. :(
that's a bummer! What temp did it get to before you left for the party and the evils of drink? How's the head this morning by the way?
I had IT of 75 when i left ,and for my head i cant tell through the pain.
Not sure if meat left out that long at those ITs is still safe. Others more knowledgeable may come along.
Was thinking the same thing GR. Not sure I would chance those.
40-140 is the "danger zone" where bacteria multiplies FAST.
I wouldn't chance it.
