I was watching the Food channel last nite, watching the Las Vegas Chili and BBQ cookoffs. One of the teams was using some kind of shredding tool to tear up the pork after it was done. They had one in each hand and tore the meat up pretty fast. Did anyone else see it and can anyone tell me where I can find such a tool. I looked on a couple of web sites for cooking tools but couldn't find anything that looked like it.

Thanks
 
first of all.. yes i saw that show.....second of all did you konw it was the mother and daughter team and THEY WERE USING A WSM....and THEY CAME IN I BELIEVE EITHER FIRST OF SECOND IN BRISKET......yum tis true....and ya that was the first time i saw that contraption.....
it looked like a big comb with handles....
sorry couldnt help but awsome show!!! and also there was a guy from.....(something,i cant remember) Poohbahs who was also using a wsm as well.....
take care

I didnt see it but that is interesting. It only takes me about 5 minutes with a fork and my fingers to tear a butt up, but any tool that makes a job easier has to be looked at.
Cooking that butt to a temp of 195-200 makes an easy job of it though.
Im gonna have to fire the WSM up this weekend. Just have to!

Before I saw the picture, all I could think of in my mind was some small version of this .

I suppose it would work...
 
Tony, you're too much

I just use 2 dinner forks ~ Can get thru a butt in just a few minutes

I was at a competition a few weeks ago getting mentored, and the head cook used two turkey holders (looked like mini pitch forks) to do the pulling. We smoked about 10 butts so it worked quickly for that amount of meat. Then used the fingers for smaller pieces for a presentation box.
 
I like the textured gloves...it takes me more like 45 minutes to do a butt, but this way I can be as picky as I like with any fat, membranes, veins and other nasties.

The team in question was Mad Momma and the Kid from Olympia WA. Two very well know cooks nationaly, I do get the privledge of cooking against them regularly, best be putting up your "A" game.
 
yes that was the team...they are very entertaning to watch...the "kid" is very funny...has a really cool sense of humor...they were cooking with three WSMs....it was really cool seeing the WSM being used up against the OTHER smokers....and actually winning.....
thanks Jim.....
