1st Butt Smoke

Ok guys and gals.... don't eat pork myself ( I know.....blasphemy ) ....wanna get into competing..... so with family and friends coming over for Labor day I tried my 1st butt smoke.....did 3, a 6 , 7 , and 8 #.....got nice bark results...pulled easily....but very difficult to remove from the smoker as they were falling apart... i dont mean stuck on the grill falling apart....but wobbly on the spatulas

Is it normal for the butt to fall apart that way ....pulled when temps where about 200-203 ... no foil .....dome temp was steady 240

How was the texture, moisture and taste, another vote for seems like you overcooked em. If they were dry and mushy, that would be the sign for that.
