I use neophrene gloves to move meat around on the cooker and to remove from the cooker. I don't use them to do the pulling and don't really see how you could ? I guess you could use surgical gloves but that doesn't solve the heat problem, does it ? I use two forks to seperate large pieces and then pull the strands as they cool some, which is pretty quick. I like the strands pulled apart as much as possible - but, it is extra work.
