well i have 33# of pork butt to pull today. and remembered that someone was talking about bear paws for pulling pork, so i had some time in the shop and came up with the bear claws, one is made out of 1/4 stainless steel round stock and the other is 3/16 SS round stock, so far the 3/16 one feels good. will repoert after i pull the 33# of butt, what do you think? not to sell for the masses. butt if you really need one will do custom orders. just a thought ,

Rob,
You are just so innovative. I use a couple of regular forks, but that gets real old, real quick!

update just did 33# of pulled pork, with these bear claws, all i can say is WOW, i think it took a whole 10 min, cant decide wich one i like better between the 2 sizes, the only reason i made 2 diferant sizes. that is all the stainless i had around, LOL
if you look real close the 2 outside claws and the handle is made out of one piece of stock .just added a middle brace and the 4 extra claws.
Nice work BigSmoker!
Both versions look WELL designed!!!
