Pulled pork and pulled beef

I made some pulled pork and pulled beef over the weekend. They were both good, although slightly dry. From what I've been reading I don't think they were done, or possibility they were too small (3lbs each)? Also I think I may have pulled everything too thin which also dried things out.
The temp started at 225°C and got up to 285°C towards the end of the cook. After 3 hours internal temp of the meat was ~160°C, I wrapped them, added an apple juice mixture and cooked for another hour and 15min - internal temp was 205°c.
They both felt probe tender I thought...I could twist the meat with a fork although there was some resistance. Here are some pics.

Jon, the pork looks really moist. Hard to see the beef. Sounds like you did a good technique. You can always add a bit of sauce to the puled to moisten up if it is dry for you. Keep going, You are on the right track.
