Honestly, that's insane. I actually raised the temperature up to 275 for about the last 3+ hours. If I kept it at 225 the entire time, it probably would've gone 24 hours without adding coals. I used mostly Jealous Devil lump coal. I also used a Fireboard to hold the temp. And damn if it didn't work amazing. My first of many smokes on this beast.

That’s actually really amazing. I recently started using some off-brand lump (ie cheaper) and there’s just no comparison. Barely can go 7 hours without having to refill. Def going back to JD (also really liked the Kamado brand lump). Enjoy the butts!!
I always go JD for long cooks, it never failed me!
The best
How was your setup? Double indirect? Im about to smoke my first 3kg boston butt.
It’s always been remarkable to me how efficient the kamado style cookers are, mine will go more than 20 hrs on a single bowl of lump.
