Pork Butt Burnt Ends over the Weekend

Preface:  Sorry about the rotated pics...I can't seem to get them oriented properly.

I had a leftover Costco Butt in the Freezer and got inspired by posts I've read making Burnt Ends out of pork so I thought I'd give them a try (thank you @SGH ).

I thawed out the meatcicle by Saturday and then rubbed it w/ some Bad Byrons Butt Rub.

I started my Large BGE around 8am on Sunday and got the Temps to ~230F.  I used a combination of Apple and Cherry for the smoke.  It only took about 5 1/2 hours to get to 170F when I took it off, cubed it, tossed on more rub and some Sweet Baby Ray's.
I bumped up temps to about 275-300F once I put the pan back on.  I 'stirred' every 30 minutes for about 2 1/2 hours and ended up with a decent color.
We added in some twice baked potatoes and some asparagus...turned out to be a pretty good meal.

Looks real good. What kind of texture did the ends have?  Did you add any thing to them when you chopped them? Sauce?

I added some more rub and a thin layer of sauce.  They were 'hardish' on the outside but I didn't get the char I wanted.  Not sure if I needed higher temps or more sugar (more sauce/rub).  They still were good.
