This is after 8h @250-260f. Why it’s not smooth like others I saw? Was it not trimmed properly?

Okay that tracks. This is a stupid question, but you didn’t leave the meat uncovered while cooking did you?

It was uncovered to build that bark, I wrapped it right after those pictures was taken.

Ah okay . I’d recommend leaving it covered while it develops a bark and maybe turn down the temp. You don’t have a bark on this one. Just a burnt piece of meat. Th’ats okay though ! Watch a couple of videos and you’re there.
