So, I'm not too concerned because I decided to try my first pastrami using store bought corned beef. I "fell asleep" last night after a long day of drinking (Relay for Life event, so good cause at least) and slept through my flame out warnings.
My Smokefire shut down around 5am and I woke up at 7am. The meat was at 63 when I pulled it off, but I have no idea how done it got in the 8 hours or so it was on the smoker. In another smart decision I decided I didn't need to use a probe, since I would just do it when I woke up.
Can I safely recover from this and eat the beef? I wrapped it and threw it in my oven for right now. If it's safe to eat, I'll just heat it back to temp. If I have to throw it out, no biggie. I have some ribs I'm doing today. But now I'm craving pastrami and want to recover this if possible.
