    I had my probe in one on the bottom. Wonder if too was faster for me as well.  Luckily butts are forgiving :)

    Could have been, but like you said butts are forgiving.  Looks like you nailed'em.

    Completely fell apart? Sounds like it's done perfectly. The statement "jeez Teefus, this pork is far too tender" has never been uttered by anyone anytime.

    Consider wrapping and putting butts in oven to finish --can get three butts on my xl at once and would do chicken as pieces not spatchcock and with two grates in my xl I can get about 12 breasts and 12 thighs on at once.

    Nothing other than Congrats for one he1l of a cook and delivering on the far end.  You definitely got it done and with style.  After this, your Q life will be a whole lot simpler I'm sure.  Most eggcellent.

    You can easily get 6-7 spatchcock chickens on your XL. They will feed lots more people than ribs and offer a better variety. I would not guess 1/4 per person. I think many might do small pp sandwich and a little chicken. It will balance out.
    If you have multiple levels, yes.  But, once those birds are spread out, they take up a good amount of real estate.  I fit 3 on my XL comfortably.  I suggest quartering the birds.  This will provide a lot more flexibility in fitting the pieces.

    Great job @Sirk98 ! Looks fantastic.  Did you end up cooking burgers and hot dogs too?  How many people ended up coming?  (just curious based on food / ppl ratio)
