17094 13 May 2021 @ 1436 --- JarnoO Thermistor changed between 1434 and 1436 MDT (logger is in MST). Per Mike Poland (YVO) in chat on 2021-05-14 2207 & 2209: "Just wanted to let everyone know that I put a new thermistor at Pork chop [sic]. The park geologists were saying that they were measuring temperatures of about 40 degrees [C]. When I changed the thermistor, the logger showed the same. I can't explain why that happened, but I suspect the Pork chop [sic] temperatures have been incorrect for at least a few months.

I'll try to test the equipment in the next few days. Just wanted to let everyone know that the sudden change in Porkchop temperature is an equipment change, and the current temperature appears to be accurate."

For context: before the thermistor was changed, it logged above 70°C.
17044 11 May 2021 @ 1143 --- cb Porkchop is barely in overflow to the west. nothing on the east side. color is hard to see but I'd say blue green with a small boil in the center.

Pool is a milky turquoise blue color with small occational bubble breaking the surface in the center. interesting is that the pool is "rocking" or small pulses that are sending small convection waves out toward the edge of the pool.
16344 06 Oct 2020 @ 1257 --- cb Pool very high and overflowing in both directions. Color is turquoise blue with 1 small area of convection left of center a tad.

11052 22 Apr 2019 @ 0000 23 Apr 2019 @ 0500 JarnoO Trace gradually rose between these times from ~40°C to a near-stable ~77°C. From ~1330-onwards the temperature barely fluctuated: lowest ~75½°C @ ~1545, highest ~78½°C @ ~0455.
10994 19 Apr 2019 @ 0950 --- RMichaels No water visible in crater.
19298 19 Apr 2019 @ 0925 --- research-mab 19 Apr 2019 @ 0925 RMICHAELS PORKCHOP See Note under Steamboat Boardwalk to Steamboat is open. Steamboat very quiet. Only occasional splashing from either vent. South Vent runoff channel completely dry. Cistern in light overflow with one boil in center. Suspect there may be ongoing disturbance affecting at least the back basin because two features near Orby were having muddy eruptions. Porkchop also had no water in it. I didn't do a full tour of the back basin but it appeared from a casual glance that many typically quiet features were erupting or had more water than usual. I spaced out looking at Emerald to see if it was cloudy/boiling. I believe others made more detailed observations. https://geysertimes.org/note.php?id=10995
10981 14 Apr 2019 @ 0500 --- JarnoO No drop in temperature per the logger. Between 40°C and 50°C during the night.
10978 12 Apr 2019 @ 2230 13 Apr 2019 @ 0745 JarnoO 3rd day of temperature dropping to near-ambient at night. Onset ~2230, from ~37°C to - ~10°C in a ~quarter. At ~45°C around 0745, needing what seems to be more than an hour to get to there from near-ambient. Would almost think Porkchop has developed a diurnal nature, though this would need in-basin confirmation I'd imagine.
10977 11 Apr 2019 @ 2115 12 Apr 2019 @ 0800 JarnoO Logger trace began dropping @ ~2115 from ~32°C to ~ -10°C (~ambient temperature per Nuphar Lake Logger) over a span of what seems to be less than ~15 minutes. Still near-ambient @ ~0500 (logger trace end). At ~57°C around 0800. Took more than what seems to be two hours to get there from near-ambient.
10975 10 Apr 2019 @ 2045 11 Apr 2019 @ 0200 JarnoO During this time the logger measured air temperature rather than Porkchop's. Drop of about 15 minutes beginning @ ~2045 from ~32°C to near-ambient of ~—10°C (per Nuphar Lake logger) followed by 45-60-minute increase beginning @ ~0200 from ~—10°C to ~30°C around 0200.
10724 04 Nov 2018 @ 1145 --- MAB Overflowing out the south side, not even hard to see as it cut a path through the snow! Pooling and cooling near the boardwalk in the trees, and not reaching farther north.
10677 28 Oct 2018 @ 1511 --- MAB Porkchop still overflowing to the south, but not as heavily as last week. The west side still pools by the boardwalk in the trees but doesn't continue northerly to the Second Erupter channel. The east side still drains down into the Gray Lakes channel of Tantalus. On my first visit in the morning I didn't see steam in that channel, but later in the day could see water.
10658 22 Oct 2018 @ 1400 --- MAB Full, overflowing to the south. Runoff goes two directions, one leg east towards the Gray Lakes branch of Tantalus, the other leg flows west to puddle near the boardwalk in the trees, then curves north to join Second Erupter's runoff channel near the boardwalk crossing.
10448 25 Sep 2018 @ 1737 --- cb water level is high. up to the rim
