+1000 on the bear claws for me. I sat one afternoon after making 8 10# butts to pick/pull them. This was for a graduation party last year. Seriously it took me hours to pull all that pork, it was ridiculous. I bought a good set of bear claws and I can get through a 10# butt in like 5 minutes.....its worth its weight in gold. I just wish I would have had the forsight to buy them BEFORE I did the butts last year.....live n learn,,,,
