XL Maiden Voyage... I'm smelling butts!

NO!! NOT LIKE THAT!!
I thought about what to do for my first XLcook and it's hard to beat a butt unless you cook two!
Here's some pix:
I started them at 225 and went to bed. I thought about going turbo in the morning, but I wanted more time cooking with my new toy. I had to boost the temp the next afternoon so that we could eat at a decent hour.
Here's the cooked pre-pulled results. As soon as I pulled the pork, I was attacked by ravenous animals! I didn't get any further pix because a feeding frenzy was on and the camera was too close to the pork!
Thanks for looking!

Wow, everything is new! I always enjoy seeing break in cooks. Nice job on the butts!
FYI, it appears you have that cross bar on your nest in front when it is supposed to be across the back.

Ah, couldn't see the handler in your pic but that makes sense. I've been thinking about adding a handler to my XL. Looking forward to seeing you break in your new AR too.XL, Large, Small, Mini Eggs, Shirley Fabrication 24x36 Patio, Humphrey's Weekender, Karubecue C-60, MAK 1-Star General, Hasty Bake Gourmet, Santa Maria Grill, Webers: 14" WSM, 22.5" OTG, 22.5" Kettle Premium, WGA Charcoal, Summit S-620 NG
