How do they do it???

Been watching some BBQ shows lately and the cook times and temps just don't make a lot of sense to me. 17lb brisket @ 250 for 9hrs and it looked awesome. Pork butts @250 for 7hrs and again it pulled really easy & I didn't see any foil used for wrapping. What am I missing??

My guess is he's wondering (so do I) how they get done at 250 in such short time and without foiling.canuckland
-
I would have to assume that if they are really cooking at those temps and finishing in that amount of time that they have to be foiling and just not showing you that part

They all wrap and they all lie like a rug about time and temp. It's like asking a guy where and how he caught all those huge bass....."uh...right over there by that tree with a crank bait"....yeah, right.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

was in Franklin's the other day and every magazine article on the wall has him quoting a different way of doing brisket. 320 for 8 hours, 225 for 18 hours, I come in a 1am every day...I come in at 3:30 every day.....salt and pepper only....secret coffee rub...... wrap.......no wrap- it's hilarious. no way these guys are going to tell you how they do it. I can tell you though that if you are cooking brisket in 30 minutes a lb like these guys say, they are cooking around 300 and wrapping though the stall.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

You'll learn a lot more from those shows by looking rather than listening
