Now that I have your attention. Is there a reason to keep my big butt whole? I was thinking of cutting a big but in half or thirds to create more bark and more smoke surface. Is there a reason to not do this?

If I get a whole butt (9-10 pounds) I generally halve it for just the reasons you mentioned (plus it's a shorter cook). I usually use 3-pounders for roasts or carnitas and thinner pieces (pork steaks) for tasso or grilling.
