Something about Pork and slow cook scares the bejebers out of me... oh yah ... it's the tape worm. Hope it hits high temp at some point?

 

Code of Federal Regulations (specifically, 9CFR318.10, pp 244-256, revised in January 2003, http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_2003/9CFR318.10.htm ) that includes a time @ temp chart.

 

Minimum Internal Temp

 

 

F ...... C ...... Minimum Time

________________________________

 

120 ... 49 ... 21 hours

 

122 ... 50 ... 9.5 hours

 

124 ... 51.1 ... 4.5 hours

 

126 ... 52.2 ... 2 hours

 

128 ... 53.4 ... 1 hour

 

130 ... 54.5 ... 30 min

 

132 ... 55.6 ... 15 min

 

134 ... 56.7 ... 6 min

 

136 ... 57.8 ... 3 min

 

138 ... 58.9 ... 2 min

 

140 ... 60 ... 1 min

 

142 ... 61.1 ... 1 min

 

144 ... 62.2 ... Instant

 

When refering to trichinella it is not just the temp the meat is cooked to, it is also a function of time at that temp.

I am going to pull this pork so I will be going to approx. 195F internal temperature which is way beyond the instant kill temp of trichinella.

Just cracked the lid for the first time since I put them on, about 14 hours ago.

It was pretty cold when my temperature alarm went off at around 3:30am and I had to go out and adjust vents and stir the coals.

Internal temps in the early 180's now. Should be ready in another couple of hours :clapping:

 

Here is what they look like now:

HEHE I don't shop at those stores will have to pick up a bag though . I am beginning to learn how make my own blend of charcoal though, I have plenty of rock maple, beech, cherry, white oak, hickory, birch and more stock seasoning right now.

The last charcoal I used came from China. I couldn't believe it.

 

We are waiting for the final pictures and verdict, btw.

 

Yeah, I stay away from the Chinese stuff, might be burning melamine along with it!

Actually I will only buy lump that originates in the USA or Canada, much of the stuff that originates in South America I think comes from the rain forest and that can't be good!

 

More pics in a couple of hours, the meat is now wrapped in foil and towels and is resting in a cooler...
