20lb raw pork leg. I cured it myself so I'm already nervous. The minus 30C weather ruined my smoke, propane froze up after the about an hour. Meat was cold outside about 3 hours later when I got home and noticed. I modded my smoker by tearing out the propane guts and putting a mini wood stove in it's place.
So this all got Mcgivered quickly, about 1/2 hour and started to cook again. I never cooked with wood or on this unit lol. It worked ok but I had a hard time keeping the temp at 200+. Average was 150 and there were constant spikes from 140- 250 as I attempted to learn how to use my new unit.
So it's been cooked like this for 4 hours with the low and spiking temps. My int. temp is now only 96. Plan to finish in the oven as my wood supply is gone.
Is this really dangerous? Any way to test?
