I had 4 pork shoulders in the freezer, when put in the refrigerator to thaw someone left the door open. The garage was 90+ degrees when I found out but the meat was around 65. I smoked two of them and they were fine. The other two I froze again, should I toss them? Put them in the smoker frozen? Thaw them and smoke them?

Regards,
Greg

When in doubt throw it out.
How Long was the meat in the danger zone?

Unknown and your response is my normal response. Thank You!
A freezer in my garage on a gfci tripped out. It's a small freezer but I lost a big contractor bag of stuff... even two big lobster tails, couple Butts, burger, chicken some dang good soup.
