somebody's got to sell me on these bear paws.
when I pull a butt, I like to separate out each muscle trying to keep them intact. I discovered that most of the connective tissue can be removed easier this way. We usually work in a team, one person with heavy rubber gloves separating the muscles and scraping off the junk, and the second person wearing vinyl gloves (the chunks cool a bit by the time they handle them) breaking them down into threads.
I get the bear paw concept but I would assume you'll either not bother getting some of the junk out, or have to go through all the pork afterwords sifting it for the junk.
