OK, I know you see a lot of these type threads but here's my questions.
My smoker (MES 40") some how got turned off at the beginning of my smoke. I think my nephew turned the smoker off on accident. I put 2 butts and a brisket on at 9:30pm and left for work. I come home at 7:00 AM and the smoker is off. COLD. The ambient temp was 28F last night. The internal thermo says the meat was 39F.
What do I do? I turned the smoker back on and we'll see how well it heats through. I don't think I got very far into the smoke. There weren't a lot of drippings in the pan like a normal smoke of 2 butts and a brisket. I'm just absolutely sick about this. This was supposed to be a nice quiet birthday (my own) weekend. And now I have 30lbs of half smoked meat.
