I did a test run with a small pork - 1kg - was labelled scotch by the butcher, but looked more like a rolled loin to me, with a fat cap attached.
Anyway, it was well into the stall (69C) when i called it a night at midnight, and the ProQ was stable at 225F. But, and there's always a but! at some point the fire went out. (not enough coals, or vents too shut or....?) Woke up at 4am and piggie and cooker both on about 45 C. Into the fridge with it and back to sleep.
I don't know what temp it got to, but reckon it would've cooked for about 8hrs at 225F. So, what should i do with it ? Just reheat in the oven in foil for a while ??? Is there any point in trying to get it to pulling stage ?
Cheers

Just heat it gently, you'll be able to tell where it's at when it's warm!
Although if it was a loin as you suspect, it won't pull!

Thx Chris, it was a 3kg log - i lopped a third off so it had the same girth, just shorter. But a scotch shouldn't have a fat cap (which i removed for the cook)
I will try reheating at 110 - 120 and see how it goes.

They do have a fat cap, It's mostly removed
