Newbie question: what's the best way to pull meat?

Stand mixer with the paddle attachment is my go to. Start with fist sized chunks of meat and be careful to not over mix. You can shred a whole pork butt in under 5 minutes. Don't over mix!

I have a pair of claws brand new in the new in the box. Been trying to give them away for years.

I bought some claws super cheap last year. Used 'em once... I mean they were super cheap, and I did want to try them, but man, was it awkward. Maybe a better pair would've been ok? I dunno. Like folks have already said, cotton gloves with nitrile over top, or a dedicated pair with a cotton lining that can be washed.

I might try chopping, though.

When I first joined the pit, someone was using this "drill bit" to do the job. Of course I had to get one.

I have used it a few times over the years. It's fun to use, does a great job, and works best whent when breaking down smoked PBs for a crowd. I never used a bowl that shallow, though. Just saying.

The claws work OK, but I wish I’d heard about the double glove solution first.

I use two large forks.

I like using my hands with the white cotton gloves and food safe latex gloves over them. I like how I can separate the different muscles and leave the 'pulls' a little larger so you get multiple textures in one bite as well as pull out larger chunks of fat that are not as appetizing. Claws/forks/etc are too cumbersome

When making pulled pork use your hands, cotton gloves under nytril gloves. I fine you get a better feel of any tissue I don't want to eat.
"Bear Claws" work well for pilling meat.

And the nitrile gloves clean better aka in the trash.

Isn't this question a bit risque for AR? ;-)
