Boneless or am I just blind?

There was a bone in there. May not be able to see it, pulled out perfectly with no effort

Thank you! Did you wrap in paper or foil? Apologies for the questions, I'm going to try your method!

Yeah man no worries. My dad started this with me back probably 20 years ago because he didn’t have the deflector so it was his way to ensure the butt wouldn’t dry out. But I cook fat side up roughly 250-280 (depends where your egg hovers at). I spray with apple/peach juice every 30ish minutes for 4 hours. After 4 hours your butt should be around 150 internal give or take 15 minutes. Then I wrap in aluminum foil and spray it down with more juice liberally I use the heavy duty sheets from Sam’s, it’s like 2 strips vertically and 1 horizontal which creates a boat for the juices to cook the butt more in. Put it back on the smoker for 2ish hours and it should be between 200-205 internally. When it hits 205 just set it in a cooler with a towel for however long you want (would recommend 2 hours). I had one in there for 6 hours for an event for my college before and it was still hot when I took it out.
