Bear Claws

have them and love them. I use them for taking large roasts and hams and turkeys off the egg too.

Great accessory! Except for pulling. They shred the meat too much. It's better to pull your butts by hand. They are great, though, for lifting hot items such as butts, hams, turkeys, etc.

My wife picked me up some over sized forks that work awesome. My previous method was to pull it apart by hand then chop it. Since the forks have arrived, I no longer chop as the meat comes out perfectly 'pulled'.

I was about to purchase the bear claws, but the wife beat me to the punch.

Does anyone besides myself prefer chopped pork to pulled pork? Just curious.

sorry i forgot to finish my amazon shows shipping at about 1/2 of yours wonder why?

Yes, the advantage with them is speed except if you're one who likes to finesse the meat into smaller pieces or pick out the undesirable fat pockets then you'll find reverting to forks works for that process better. Once 4 of us pulled 8 butts - 3 had claws and the other guy was the fork man.

I've used a pair for the past 3 years, and really like them. Just for kicks, on father's day, I decided to use a meat cleaver and chop the butt, like they do in the BBQ restaurants. Now I think I like that better. I separated what I could with a carving fork to get the big fat pockets out, then hacked away with the cleaver. Sounds like a hitchcock movie, but it worked pretty good, and was therapeutic also!

You want to send me a check for 17.50 I,ll send you a brand new pair still in wrapper
