Bear Paws Claws??

Beli

Think I'm becoming a butt fan.... :P ...where can I get some good bear claws for pulling?? Are the meat handles called meat paws?? Where could I find those as well ?? I'm confused TKS

I have found 2 forks are the best for me, but I bought these about a year ago. They work well also.

Here are some on ebay for $11.49 and free shipping. Not sure how much shipping would be to Mexico. I got a set from them a few weeks ago. Mike

I got the paws/claws awhile back and I used them for quite a bit. now I will mostly just use my hands. I put on some vinyl gloves (just simple food grade) and just use my hands. I like to have the fine tuned control of my fat little grabbers. If I am doing more than 2 or 3 butts and I will break them out, but 9 times out of 10 I just use my own paws.

Beli, I just use two of these. But bear claws are MUCH less expensive!



EDIT: After that, if I want authentic NC style, I'll chop it up with a cleaver in each hand.

I forgot the site. I just did a search and got it online. The place was good priced and low shipping costs. They are easy to find.

RRP

Best price on the net I believe! Besides that check their rubs and sauces - quite an offering!

I'm with TheDirtyBurger. I break the butts free from the grid with a large spatula and pick them up with a pair of plastic coated pot holders. When the butts are falling apart tender, I seem to have more control over the meat cradled in my hands. By the way, you have a beautiful patio area.

Hi Beli,

Get a set of these:

I bought a set of the plastic ones and they got all deformed from the heat the first time I used them to lift my butt off the grate and pull the hot meat.

I have enjoyed the metal ones in the link above much better.

I like me some butt too Beli! I have the bear claws but I only use them when I reheat pork that has been vacuum sealed. The meat gets packed so tightly and the claws are great for loosening it up. -RP

We sell them here at outdoor home. They run $13.29, and work great. you can use them to lift meats or shred roasts.

They are not on our site but I will make sure we get them on there monday or tuesday.

I find they make the work easier- especially if you're doing multiple butts!

I like their dry marinades too. I got formula #1 and have found it very good on pork and chicken. If I could only have 3 rubs in my cabinet, this would be one of them.

Thanks for the link, Bob. They have some interesting stuff. One of my favorite things to do is try new rubs and sauces. They have good prices and I will definitely try their stuff out. Their sauce won the best sauce award at the Jack Daniels BBQ Competition. I will try it. Have you tried it yet?
