Ok...like most of you, I have cooked countless amounts of butts on my Egg.  I have cooked them anywhere between 13-17 hours at 225.  I always pull them around 195 degrees.  I always let the meat tell me when its done.  It always turns out awesome.  Again, like most of you, I also watch Food Network and Cooking channel.  I noticed tonight on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives a guy from Memphis cooked his butts at 225 for 8 hours.  It looked awesome.  This is not the first time I have seen this either.  I have noticed others doing similar things as well.  What gives??  Am I way off base or missing something here???

    How did he cook them? He probably crutched them through the stall. I bet they just didn't show it.

    I was wondering the same thing. Lots of pork on that show in ovens with shorter times, but this was on a smoker. It certainly looked done...

    Agreed....Probably a lot of TV magic we are not seeing.

    If it's on DD&D, I will never see it. As soon as I see Fieddie's name come up, I change the channel. Doesn't matter to what.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    General Question here with your answer.  You're not missing a thing.  "Countless amounts of butts" to quote you should give you the confidence to know you've got a good thing going.  Why would something you see on TV make you second guess yourself?

    edit:  Frank Gorshen beat the he!! out of Jim Carrey as the Riddler!
