Hit 203 30 mins ago. Pulled it, letting it rest before cutting and putting in pans back into the heat

That would be quite normal then for the pit temp. That thin of a cut will have the temp rise pretty fast when your pit is that high. Nothing wrong with it. If you wanted more smoke flavor you could run the pit down around 180°. It would take longer, but you'd get more smoke.

Should mention though that if you ran your pit @ 180° for the first step you'd need to raise the pit temp for the second step or you'd never get to 205° IT.
