Sorry to hear it wasn't exactly what you wanted but you said it did taste good thats the beauty of smoking usually even our not quite rights are good eating. If it wouldn't pull then I would suspect the temp wasn't high enough and I'm sorry I didn't tell you to probe it in a couple spots to make sure you weren't too near the bone of in a fat deposit which will both give you false readings. Another good method of checking is that when you can easily pull or move the bone its done. As for bark maybe try not foiling it next time this will give you more bark. Try foiled and not foiled and figure out which you and your family like best.
