Pulling Butts Quick 'n Easy

[TedEbear]

In another thread in this section I mentioned that I was given a Roman Pork Puller for Father's Day.  I had to smoke 4 butts for a party yesterday and I had the opportunity to try it out for the first time.  It would have probably taken me over an hour to pull 4 butts but it was all done in a matter of minutes with my new toy.  I just removed the bone, stuck each butt one at a time in a tall pan and went at it. I had trimmed the fat cap off before smoking so there really wasn't anything I had to pick out after assaulting it with the Roman.

Four 8-lb butts turned into this in a matter of minutes:





A little Sweet Baby Ray's Chipotle BBQ sauce and some of my wife's homemade potato salad that bites back added:

Yes.  Here's what it looks like:



Here's a video of it in action:  Roman Pork Puller Video

And here's a slightly less expensive version of a different brand:  Ultimate Pork Puller     They say it doesn't clog.  With my Roman I had to take a fork and pry some large pieces of meat out of the barbs a couple of times and back into the pot.

I wonder how places like Bandana's, which serves probably hundreds of pounds of pulled pork each day in each restaurant, pulls theirs?

They use a Buffalo chopper, lots of them made by Hobart and they ain't cheap!
