One small butt (3.78 lbs), and medium butt (6.7 lbs) and a picnic (9.86 lbs with bone) I deboned then hooked back together. Took an extra rebar to get it all done.
The small butt was hooked near the vent. 5.25 hours in it was at 196 and barked up plenty. I pulled it, and then pulled it.
The other two made it to 201 in 7.25 hours, and put to rest. Nothing got wrapped during the cook.
I adjusted the little plate in front of my Auber intake to blow air towards the side of the barrel that is not directly getting air from the vent.
Worked awesome. Set the Auber for 285, set my Maverick alarms, and that puppy sang all night just as perfect as can be. I had an initial temp spike of 386.

I also "hooked & nuked" 5 chicken breasts in the Pit Barrel for lunch yesterday. 375 average pit temp. Took about 47 minutes. Liberal amounts of Tony Chachere's 1 hour before the cook. Little BBQ sauce to finish.
