Yesterday I smoked up a couple butts (sorry no pics, camera battery was dead). Smoked them to 195 then wrapped in towels and let them set for about 3 hours before pulling.
They were still plenty warm when I went to pull them, so much so that I scorched most of my finger tips when pulling it.
So my question to you all is, how do you pull your pork (or other meats) without burning yourself? What's your technique?
I usually grab hunks of it with tongs and transfer it to a bowl, then I use my hands to pick out all the fat and connective tissues and such off each hunk as I go, which requires me to dig in with my hands, and end up scorching them. After I've removed all the yuckies, then I shred it with forks.
How do you get all the junk out of the meat without burning yourself, yet still have meat warm enough to serve?
