What's that you're eating?

Sorry to hear that. 😞

What was your ending temp? I usually shoot for 203F. The other thing to keep it moist is to use the Texas Crutch when the stall occurs (usually around 150F to 160F). However, the Crutch does tend to eliminate some smokey flavor and it softens the back. Sometimes I will just jack the temp to 300F or even 325F during the stall to shorten the time, and that helps keep it moist.

Better luck on the point!
I wrapped at around 160° and finished at 203°. The flat finished 4 hours sooner than the point. I let it rest for 5 hours before cutting it. I'm not sure where I went wrong, but it seems like it was just really lean. I think it just happens sometimes.

The point came out much better. Ended up with a really nice smoke ring and it was really tender.

That is pure food porn right there!!!
 
I put this MFer under foil to keep warm while the lady was in the bath. I'll be damned if my pink medium rare turned brown and gross sitting in the pan for an hour. F baths. If I can't eat it I'm turning it into bath salts for her to complain about later...

Great news. A Sazerac rye old fashion is better than an actual Sazerac. If you were wondering.
